Baron Davis had an elbow infection?
We've been hearing for a few days about a mysterious "setback" in Baron Davis's recovery that's pushed his debut into sometime around the All-Star break, possibly after it. Just now, we found out what the "setback" actually is. Howard Beck:
Baron Davis' "setback" was an infected elbow, which caused pain in back. Says his back is OK otherwise.
Baron said he wasn't even able to lift his right arm in Miami but that its feeling better now. Doesn't know when he'll practice
So, uh, that's pretty gross. I'm not even sure how you get an infection in your elbow without a serious wound (a few people on the popular social networking site Twitter.com have made "Wilson Chandler bit him" jokes), and we haven't heard anything about Davis cutting open his elbow. Weird. I hope he hasn't been sleeping in dumpsters again. (Update: Tina Cervasio says it was, indeed, from a cut. You've gotta, like, clean that thing off, Baron.)
Anyway, this is kind of reassuring, if anything. After weeks of progressing normally, it was odd and unsettling to hear that Davis had kind of just fallen off track and wasn't ready anymore. This bizarre injury explains things somewhat. Just weird.

When Baron returns, let's never speak of this again

I mean how infected elbow could set him back like another 3 weeks?
If he’s ok now, shouldn’t it be just a couple of extra days to let the elbow heal?

Uhh..
How do you let an infection from a cut get so bad that it starts to somehow hurt your back?
Are you sure that you want to know?

probs not
but as a guy who is surrounded by medical personnel monitoring him on a regular basis it kinda makes me question the competence of some people

1) Ew clean your damn elbow
2) How does a cut lead to back pain? And how does that pain get confused with herniated disc-type pain?
3) AWESOME I’m going to the Knicks @ Wizards game for NOTHING (no Amar’e, no Baron)
posi..tive ....thoughts..?

the atmosphere will be worth it
if Lin continues to spin. If you can’t lift you elbow, could see it being a strain on the back

Christ will play PG for the Knicks
before Davis does.

There was a savior at PG tonight, it seems.
Does that qualify, or does the guy have to wear broke sandals and have bread crumbs from the miracle of the loaves and fishes in his beard?
