Jason Thompson to Miss Two Games

by Tom Ziller on Feb 3, 2010 3:31 PM PST in News

The Kings just announced Jason Thompson will miss the next two Kings games, tonight against San Antonio and Friday against the Suns. J.T. is attending a funeral on the East Coast. Condolences to the Thompson family.

Before today, J.T. had played in every game in his NBA career. He's the only King to have started every game this season.

Condolences Jason

Maybe a few days off is just what he needed tho. Get some rest and try to clear your head, young fella.

Remember folks, I'm almost always wrong.

Getting a break may give him a new perspective...

…like going on vacation and just getting away from it all.

Condolences to the Thompson Family.

JT looks like he needs an extended rest. Honestly, I think that is the biggest problem. He looks tired on the court.

Two games off accompanied by the all star break should help JT for the remainder of the season.

Blessings.Love.Peace

My thoughts go out the Thompson Family

I’ll look forward to Jason’s return once everything has settled.

the Bene Gesserit rite.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

The "soft" comment is kind of funny

because of how ridiculous it is. But the “so we have a chance of 2 wins comment” was just dirty.

Reply to my own post

Anyone that doesn’t know I’m kidding either doesn’t know me, or can’t see the irony in the “soft” label around here. Make no mistake, I do not actually think JT is “soft” for taking time to be with his family, but instead I wish him the best.

Condolences to JT & his family.

UNLESS that underground cavern was a David Thorpe run training facility. The problem of course, is that players really need to play in NBA game situations for them to develop well. So a league of cyborgs needs to be built along with a regulation-sized stadium and tons of fake fans to simulate real NBA games to develop the players. Though at this point the team is spending billions of dollars to develop those players, so you know… maybe it would be smarter to just wait. -- Iashwash

Bummer
