Marcus Thornton Out 1-2 Weeks With Hematoma In Quad

According to Jason Jones, the Sacramento Kings have announced that Marcus Thornton will miss 1-2 weeks with a hematoma in that battered quad that has cost him a few games. The injury had previously been diagnosed as a contusion, but apparently it's a bit worse and needs some time away from the inconsiderate knees and arms of the NBA.
That could mean more John Salmons at two-guard or additional time for Jimmer Fredette and Isaiah Thomas or all of the above. It was likely this injury diagnosis that in part led the Kings to recall Tyler Honeycutt from the NBA D-League. If any of the rotation wings go down, the Kings get pretty light.
I do not encourage you to Google Image "hematoma."

Well the Maloofs can only afford the cheapest option
For some reason I feel that if the Maloofs would spend money for a high quality staff, then this wouldn’t happen twice in a little over a month.

my brain must not be working
what else did they misdiagnose?
And is this even much of a misdiagnosis? I thought a contusion is just a milder form of hematoma.

It don't think it was a misdiagnosis of the injury itself.
The degree of the injury was worse than they initially believed.
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."

Something to do with Cisco, something else as well, I can’t remember.
There is a long line of mis-diagnosis.

No that wasn't it with Cisco
there was an issue where they were way off on his return date or something.

You can't be serious
so I offer this comment , you have written 2 comments that can’t be taken seriously but aren’t funny, so what’s the point?
35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.
bro i dnt see how i cnt be taken seriously
i wrote about tha situation in da post…..not tryna be funny bro…..jus sayin……jus tryna comment on stuff cuz i like tha kings…… i even play with those cats on 2k ……

Greetings fellow sports fans. This is my first time posting here at Sactown Royalty. I have deep affection for your Kings. They are my second favorite team behind the Rockets of Houston (The Dream Shake is their SBN blog).
James Fredette has a calm demeanor and my hope is that he plays well enough to earn a spot in the starting line up. This would be very beneficial to the Kings of Sacramento.
Thornton, on the other hand, has already shown himself to be a very capable scorer. He has the skills to excel in the N.B.A. Your Kings of Sacramento are very deep at the guard positions.
Sincerely,
Tyga

I sufford a hemotoma on my right thigh
during my college athletic days. It happened very similarly to MT injury. I was out for 2 weeks. Our college athletic medical team treated me daily with ultrasound treatment and electric stem muscle stimulation. In order to speed up the recovery they had to “massage” the hemotoma/contusion out. Simply put, they took a PVC pipe looking roller and rolled it out from the muscle tissue. One of the most painful injuries I endured. I feel for you mr Thornton!

Don't like to see Thornton out, but wonder if he's good for Kings?
Thornton as a 6th man scoring machine would be great, but in the starting lineup he just sucks ups possessions. Dude is the chucker of chuckers. He never gives the ball up, and unless he’s hitting his shots, he’s a detriment. Not sure I like the signing now, especially for the amount of $. Wish he could be part of a trade for a pass first guard.
I feel you, but he could improve.
We saw a very similar change in mindset/chuck-i-tude from Monta Ellis last year. He became a much more willing passer, took better shots, drove and cut to create for others and not only himself, etc.
Maybe Thornton could do the same? And, for the record, I have no idea if Keith Smart played a role in bringin about this change.
" 1 + 1 = 3 " - David Kahn
Agreed
I like him as a sixth man, he could come in and shoot alot when we need energy and scoring. I like him better than Salmons that also shoots every time he touches the ball but makes a horrible percentage. The lack of ball movement and inability of this team to recognize what is and is not a high percentage shot is a glaring problem on offense. Also, having played alot of b-ball there is nothing more demoralizing than being open and having someone come down court again and again and throw up a ill advised shot. Smart has helped with the offense, but we need to get better, and the first team offense is worse because there are just too many black holes.
Funny, I was going to compare Thornton to Ellis.
And I don’t think Ellis’ changes stuck? I hope you are right, and Thornton can change. Or, I hope the Kings get enough pass first guys that Thornton can go to the bench.
Hematoma... ppsshhhhh
I had one from a vasectomy… now THAT was a hematoma, like two purple grapefruits!
Remember I don't give a flying fuck!
If I had two purple grapefruits down there, I'd want to be in a hema-coma

Completely not Kings related
but did anyone else notice how the Rockets aren’t picking up the 4th year on Lee, Williams, or Hill (Thabeet too but … well, yeah)?
Not picking it up on Lee?
That’s surprising. Not too surprising on the others (although you forgot to add Flynn there).

didn't see Flynn yet
was going to but didn’t see it (would have to assume that’s happening though)
Really curious what they do leading up to the trade deadline
by wallywagon11 on Jan 25, 2012 2:10 PM PST up reply actions
Lee's a pretty solid player.
I could see him being a nice compliment off the bench for a contender since he can defend the perimeter quite well and knock down open shots. I remember thinking he was supposed to turn into a much better player after his rookie year than he has.
Had Orlando not traded him to the Nets, he would have...
"First we get jobs, then we get the khakis, then we get the chicks."
THABEET!!!
I will miss heckling his hands of stone when he is out of the NBA
I love you nbrans
It’s okay buddy, you were wrong. I was wrong too. But eventually you gotta admit that in this league, people play height. And if height can’t play… but yeah, here’s to hoping he makes it. I would be totally for the Kings picking him up on the cheap. He would be a good mate for Cousins (but goddamn don’t put him on the floor with JT, turnover-city).

Still remember at a party a year before Thabeet was drafted (late summer of 08)
arguing with someone that BJ Mullins would likely be the top prospect over Thabeet (had not seen Mullins play yet in college). I dunno who looks more dumb on that one. Me for being way off about Mullins draft stock or the other person given in their arguement they were talking about Thabeet being the next Mutumbo.

No I don't think so
Not if the option isn’t picked up, as there’s no cap hold as a result.

Like when the Bucks declined the option on Joe Alexander, I remember one of the reasons was so they wouldn’t have the cap hold and could make a splash with their signings.

Not true
Lee’s contract is up and we didn’t make an extension deal. They’ll likely retain him this off-season.

good opportunity to start Thomas at PG
and move Evans to SG…..Salmons will have to finally step up.
Thomas should have to step up too...
His shooting has been gastly lately (although admittedly doing better with APG). Start Jimmer and pray he plays like the Jimmer of the Second Quarter against the Grizzlies… for the whole game.
