LeBron James Injury Update – Olympics

Stephen Kersey — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:10:07 +0000

LeBron James injured his ankle earlier in the week and the injury will likely keep him out of action for a couple of days. However, the good news is that LeBron should be fine for the Olympics. In fact, all indications are that LeBron could play right now if it were an important game.

Unless LeBron re-injures his ankle at some point, his 2008-09 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers should be unaffected. He’s battled ankle problems in the past and has always bounced back relatively fast.

LeBron will play a major role in the United States trying to reclaim Gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He will likely start games and be called upon to carry a heavy load.

Will LeBron James be healthy for the Olympics?

Dwight Howard Injury Update – Sternum Fracture

Stephen Kersey — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:48:58 +0000

Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic has a fracture in his sternum. It was suffered during the playoffs against the Detroit Pistons, however the injury was just made public recently. The injury typically requires six to eight weeks of recovery time. It has been about six weeks since the injury, so he should be ready to go soon.

Howard is coming off of yet another great season. He’s quickly becoming one of the best bigmen in the game of basketball. This summer, he will try to help lead the United States to a gold medal in the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Although the injury should be healed in time, Howard may be susceptible to re-injuring his sternum again this summer. Keep an eye on him to make sure he stays healthy heading into the 2008-09 fantasy season.

Here is a Dwight Howard video discussing his injury:
