Kevin Martin Has a Hairline Fracture in Left Wrist
The Kings haven't decided on treatment yet. If he sits to let it heal, it could be a couple weeks.

I still think Kevin plays.
At least its not his bad hand.
BOOK IT!
Rub some dirt on it and get back in the game, kid
It doesn’t sound that bad; hairs are really really thin.

I told my brother the same...
Rub some dirt on it and get back in the game, kid
But since he was dealing with kidney stones, I’m not sure he appreciated it.

I think Kevin's going to want to play through it
I don’t know if the Kings will let him though. Either way, this would really suck, especially since we’re coming up on a pretty favorable stretch that we could win a few games on.

You mean "...grimacing on the bench and rubbing it"?
it’s pretty funny to think of him rubbing the bench with his hurt wrist.
Sorry, just trying to lighten-up a heavy situation.

Yup
I, too, have had a hairline fracture in my wrist. Twice. I was casted/wrapped for about 4 weeks each time. But I was in high school and going through growth spurts, so it probably would take slightly less time for Kevin.
As Zach mentions at Cowbell Kingdom, these suck. Unlike Zach, mine did results in long-term issues.
Never forget: I am a complete idiot
I'm no doctor
but i think this is one of those injuries that doesn’t hurt too bad, but the risk of injuring it more severely is the problem.
Completely disregard this post.
The link posted by oldenpolynice is much more… “accurate”
Um, how?
Both say virtually the same thing.
However, to make things easy, here is OP’s post of Jaon Jones’ Twitter.

I think we was saying to ignore his specific post because the Cowbell Kingdom link was better than his speculation.

Haven’t the sports writers been all over Kevin’s demise the second the pick was made . . . here we go.
I’m bitter, franchise cannot even luck it’s way into a 25 win season these days.
I'd be fine with Beno at the 2.
Probably our best/only option anyway.

Tyreke at the 2....
With Beno and Sergio seeing an increase in minutes, as well as Casspi/Ime seeing minutes at the back-up 2.
I'm guessing that Martin is going to play through it.
If not, why not keep Mason around for a few weeks to eat minutes. Sure, Mason sucks but a familiar body who knows the system seems like a better fit than some 10 day contract dude. Unless….that 10 day guy is the recently retired Bobby Jackson…yuck.

If we can do a 3 for 1 for Iverson
We’d have enough space for all three!

Really, I don’t see how you can seriously ask for an Iverson trade. That’s just stupid – you’re smarter than that Otis. I mean, honestly, how can you even think about trading for Iverson, when Zach Randolph is sitting on that roster? Dude is a BEAST. He attacks the ball like it’s a donut hole. Dives to the court like it’s a buffet table looking for loose bagels. And you know we’re thin in the frontcourt.
Make the smarter move, trade for the better Memphis player.

The concern would be if he should fall and catch himself with that hand
Brace or no, he snaps the bone, and that’s all she wrote.
I want him to play through it as a fan, especially one who knows he’s an all-star level talent, but he’s got to do the smart thing. Whatever that is.

Probably
Although that means Sergio is now our back up point guard. I just get a kick out of all these people who were so glad Desmond Mason was let go because he couldn’t make a shot if his life depended on it. Um, check his shooting % against Evans this season. Evans is a shooting guard like my grandma is a shooting guard. I wouldn’t be suprised to see Casspi start at the two,
"Shut up and Coach!"
Vfettke
There's a learning curve
The Kings are asking Evans to do a lot. The fact that he isn’t succeeding tells me more about how difficult it is to adjust to the NBA when you’re in Evans position.
The fact that Chris Paul had no learning curve I think somewhat distorts this. Chris Paul is the penultimate exception to the rule.

Reke is doing just fine at this point. in his rookie season
My only request being he limit his shots to around 12-15 per game. Last game he shot 21 times. That’s too many in my opinion.

Okay so i'm a medical student and from what i know
he won’t be coming back earlier either. The bone he fractured has a high probability of potentially losing blood supply (if anyone’s interested, the main complication is avascular necrosis of the scaphoid bone) and must heal completely. Mike bibby had a hairline fracture when he was here of his 5th metatarsal bone in his foot and he came back a little early because that bone isn’t at the same risk as this one. Just my 2 cents. Hopefully we can put Tyreke off the ball and start Beno.

I think Bill Bradley is jumping the gun on what he wrote. But, maybe Martin’s made a decision.

well
according to Rotoworld … Petrie said he might try and play through it
The Sacramento Bee updated a report claiming that Kevin Martin would miss six to eight weeks with a broken wrist, adding that Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie has indicated that Martin may try to play through the injury.
Kev-Mart owners get a glimmer of hope, as the earlier reports quoted Petrie as saying he would definitely be out. This follows a sequence of events that have seen former starter Desmond Mason released, Andres Nocioni arrested for DUI, and Francisco Garcia missing the first half of the season with a wrist injury. This should help Tyreke Evans and even Sergio Rodriguez, but the big winner here should be Beno Udrih, as Evans can play SG. Nov. 5 – 8:25 pm et
Yes yes I know
This stuff hasn’t been settled. We’ll know tomorrow.

I think he's going to play through it at least one game.
Or maybe sit a couple, and then play.

He played with it last night and scored I think 29 points. I’m not saying he’ll be pain free, but if he did it last night why wouldn’t he be able to continue to do it? Everytime K-Mart looks like he’s going to have a dominating season some fluke stuff happens to him. He’s unlucky not injury plagued like people like to tag him with. I hope he plays on it…

Wow
Looks like Omri moves into the starting SG spot. Beno backs up both Evans and Omri. Evans will be playing 40 minutes a night now with Omri playing around 30 and Beno as 35 as well.
Evans will have to run the show now. It’s him team. Can he grow up quick and learn to deliver offense and get the players involved. PW needs to put the ball in his hands and let him create. Beno can be a SG on offense and guard the opponents PG.
Kings rule! (They are royalty - right?)
I think it will get worse for Tyreke
in terms of what shots he will get. Teams will make it even worse on him as he shows any sign of success.
In some ways playing with Beno will help him because Beno handles the ball better than K-Mart does. On the other hand, Beno will not even take even a fraction of the attention that K-Mart has at the moment.
No good way to handle your best player being out. Hopefully he comes back 100%.

Have you ever been in Seattle for an extended period of time?
I’ve walked down the street, and not gotten a single drop on me (or no more than I should anyway) because the drizzle is so light. It’s mist at best 50% of the time.
Quite honestly, that’s what I like about Seattle in the wintertime. If it wasn’t for that drizzle, it would not be as warm here in the wintertime. And, I do not want to live in 25 degree weather all winter long.
Here is the difference between the 206 & the 916. The ground is colder up here, and because of that when the Sun heats up the pavement it takes more energy to do that. But, at the same time, when it drizzles during the wintertime it actually creates more heat because of the humidity. A lot of people here don’t notice it (whether they know it or not is a moot point as far as I’m concerned), or maybe I don’t know enough people, but I think plenty of people will tell you that too.
In sacramento, when it’s cloudy the weather becomes colder in the wintertime. In Seattle when it’s clear sky’s, the weather gets colder. Go figure.

Sacramento is just too small a city for my liking. I like a more urban environment, and there is no way in hell I’m going to live in Sacramento again. Unless I get a job that is a clear upgrade from what I’m currently doing, or something like that.

I don't blame Kevin for wanting to fix something
I don’t blame Kevin for wanting to play. All I want here is that Kevin’s long term health can be secured. I know he’s gotten hurt a lot, but I wonder if any of this is that big of a deal. Kobe Bryant has sustained injuries throughout his career and he’s turned out okay.

Petrie said Martin could miss at least six weeks if he had a cast placed on the wrist or underwent surgery and had screws inserted. Petrie said another option is Martin could play through the injury and hope it doesn’t get worse.

Honestly, I hope Martin takes the time to recover. I want Martin to be fully healed with no long-term effects.
This team ain’t making a run at the championship, with or without Martin. Not this season. So let Martin heal. Will it suck? Yes, yes it will. But I’d rather have that than Martin making it even worse.

I hate to do this but
at what point do we seriously begin to question Kev’s durability?
The guy is sooo brittle

Groin, Ankle, wrist
It’s not like he’s Gilbert Arenas, but yeah these long recovery time, nagging injuries are starting to get old.

It gets old
But it’s not terribly uncommon either.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Are you suggesting...
…that we won’t see Kevin Martin in an upcoming “Got Milk?” campaign?

Maybe we need to see if there's something wrong with the cows in Ohio

could still be trouble

Honestly I'd be leaning toward him returning 100% healthy
But that’s me.

Nice

I agree completely
I have often questioned several of the Kings toughness and willingness to play through injury, but this is not an injury to try and play through. The potential for further damage is too great.
Are these hairline fractures all the same
or are there different degrees of damage??
You seem to know about the injury, that’s why I ask
The future begins now...
Unfortunately not
Of all of the wrist bones, the navicular is one of the most important and is also the bone most prone to not healing correctly (one of the fragments dying).
The true risk
is if the pieces become displaced. If he were to fall on the wrist with his whole body weight and the fragments were to become displaced, the risk of one of the pieces dying would be greatly increased.
Could you please reply to certain comments Napa
It’s becoming very hard following the conversation without knowing exactly what you’re replying to.

sorry
long time follower, first time contributer. finally figuring this out.
No problem
Maybe it helps someone else out as well. Can’t know until you know. (We all do it.)

I finally
figured that out. Just because I am a little slow figuring this out, don’t disregard my medical knowledge.
Actually your point is why I'm 99% leaning towards Kevin getting rest and/or surgery for this
rather than trying to play to “prove” he’s tough.

I hope
Kevin doesn’t feel pressure to prove that he is tough. I know he caught some flak for missing so many games last year with the ankle injury. I never understood that, but I never heard the true extent of that injury. I assume the injury was more serious than they initially realized or than they let on to the public.
It was both
Initially they didn’t think it was that bad and let him play on it. By the time they realized it had gotten worse they covered it up for a little while. Another week or so Amick dug out the truth and they were stuck publicly.
I have a lot of respect for Kevin. He’s not a pussy or a guy who doesn’t try to be out there every time he can. He plays through nagging injuries (hello! he played through this last night vs Atlanta remember?) whenever he can, and did so last season on that ankle.
There are always people who love to lob excuses rather than figure out reasonable reason’s. Nothing you can do about those folks except that hope reason eventually wears them down and their brain develops as it should have been originally.

There was a point in Kings history
when Bobby Jackson’s toughness was questioned (Grant Napear, hello!). When it comes to player injuries, if ignorance is bliss, we Kings fans are Eden.

Wow the new rec thingys are cool
The rest of the format is not really, but I suppose you gotta take the good with the bad.

Ya I'm not really liking the new look too much
I think its the off-center nature of the title and author on stories and fan posts. Just bugs me.

Look on the bright side, fellas.
The Kings were not going to win many games this year anyway. This will only help the development of Evans (who really needs to learn what he can and can’t do and not force shots down the stretch) and Casspi, both of whom will get big minutes. They still may have to sign another athletic player though.
This is going to force our team to become a grind-it-out defensive minded ball club.
It ain’t gonna be pretty, but it will be a character builder.
I talked to Harry Shearer today, the voice of most of The Simpsons characters, who is a huge Hornets fan, and he complimented the old Kings team … kind of clowned the Maloofs about Vegas. Said he had friends in Sacto and seemed to generally like the fans.
Still depressed
If Martin is out and Tyreke becomes as good as Kevin and Casspi becomes as steady as Cisco, which is our best case Scenario, we are back to the same level as last years team.
Crap.
A 17 win team can’t afford to lose players 1 and 6.
We need an idiotic team to make a Gasol type trade in our favor…(Bosh?)
This may have been mentioned before
I didn’t want to read all of the threads. Not enough time today =)
If Beno starts in Kevin’s absence, then Evans can still play the point at times based on Beno’s ability to shoot. From what I’ve seen this season, they’ve played Evans off the ball several times and have had mixed results while playing with Martin.
I’m likening this to a Doug Christie/Mike Bibby backcourt where Christie did a lot of the ball handling. I know that Beno is no Bibby, but right now we’re not competing for a championship. We’re building a foundation built which is the most important thing a rebuilding team needs. I’m not excited about Kmart being out, but I don’t think our season is over either.
I’m going to be patiently optimistic for once…
