Iman Shumpert could return much sooner than expected.

more than anything, i want this kid to have a long and healthy career.

But from watching that video during last nights game (which im sure is either from the day before or that morning of) It didnt look like he was even going half speed with that brace on. It was promising to see him cutting jumping and reportedly dunking.

That video didnt show me that he could do that at full speed. I mean, im sure the staff knows more than what a 10 sec video showed us..but if he can jolt around laterally on D and break on loose ball and such..then why have him out there. He needs to be healthy and i hope this isnt a rushed job.

Iman dribbled, cut, and dunked at half speed and said he might be ready for practice.

That he might play in the Bobcats game sounds like a typical Berman extrapolation.

but healthy is the operative word. I doubt our training staff is using holy water or healing hands, so I don’t know how he could be back so soon unless he is secretly Wolverine.

It’s possible he’s healed fast but I’d be a little more comfortable with him resting and only playing in emergency until he got like a second or third opinion from an independent doctor clearing him.

unless he is secretly Wolverine

I didn’t know it was a secret…

Well, we didnt know the severity of the injury, so maybe it wasn´t that serious a tear. But damn, the Knicks better make sure hes healthy. Pringles´ job is on the line, and I can see him rushing back iMan to try and add somewhat of an offensive weapon.

if he was, it would actually take 2-4 weeks… I wanna believe in that Shump Sauce …and I wanna get some to BDiddy, but it’s damn hard

T.Douglas/PG I.Shumpert/SG as our starting backcourt.
For defense and leadership in the second unit? Well the real Seth is L.Fields in the second unit for your request.
You indicated Shumpert helps in both of these catagories. I might add he also helps the first unit to do better by bailing out Careml from bringing the ball up along with giving T.Douglas help.

No second unit for this guy. Starting SG is our need now.
Let’s hope D’Antoni gets it right for a change.
Who knows we just might see some victories instead of loses.

He’s “questionable” for tomorrow. I’d be he sits til the weekend.

along with my ACL, playing rugby. It REALLY sucks for about the first week, but I was doing running drills in a brace about 2 weeks later and back in full contact about a month later. So this isn’t ENTIRELY shocking to me. Probably had better trainers than we did, and is doing nothing but PT and rehab every day, whereas I went only 3-4 times a week.

Regardless, great news.

Thank god Shump came back faster than we thought, but I’d rather not push it. We’ll muddle and Bibby through until you come back man. Just get back to 100%.

Baron…stop playin. Just stick some hair pins in your back and call it acupuncture. We need you out there.
