After a strong start to the season he is about to get some time on the chilling list as a result of undergoing an appendectomy which will leave him out 2 weeks.

Well, I originally heard he would miss 3 weeks, so 2 is not as bad. Still sucks for Grant.

better than not having the operation at all though. The suns will be alright though, Hill is a valuable ROLE player.

I think he’ll be out longer than two weeks. Just to be safe I say he should be out longer than 2!

He always has the oddest injuries.

I was sh**tin’ bricks when I read he was undergoing surgery. Then I learned he had to get his appendix out… the hell?

that staph infection was the scariest thing of all. Imagine, finding your loved one lying there with a 104 temperature, his entire body shaking as a result of the ankle surgery? Then the awful news of his wife Tamia being diagnosed with MS at the age of 28? Grant is a class act and I hope he gets to finish out the season and get some joy from this game he loves so much.

Blessing in disguise. Grant was logging a lot of minutes.

I’m with you MTill. Sucks for him mentally, when he was having such a great season, but, he can use this time to rest up and finish out the season strong.

Maybe Marcus Banks will log some more time in his absence? Wishful thinking on my part?! haah

I still remember a story of Tamia before she met Grant. She was born in Windsor, Canada, right across the river from Detroit. I don’t remember who did the interview, but she was asked if there was someone famous she would like to me that she hasn’t yet. It was early in her career. Anyway, she responded that she wanted to meet Grant Hill because she thought he was fine. He caught wind of the article and they were setup to meet. The rest is history. Sorry, kind of off topic.

Yeah, this isn’t the worst thing in the world. Having an appendectomy isn’t anything that’s going to effect your ability with the rock. Unless Hill uses his appendix to dribble.

Grant Hill is the greatest human ever. I still have my “Grant Hill: NBA Sensation” VHS tape going strong!

Alex’s comment made me think…. What the hell happened to Dajuan Wagner?

If Grant Hill never got injured originally, we’d be talking about him as one of the top 3 SF’s of all-time. He would have been better than Pippen.

the pain isn’t a joke, hopefully they got it before it becomes infected

Sko says:
um, how come they didn’t do that already?
at least this time they should make sure and grab those tonsils if they’re still there.
save time later.

Does getting posterized by Trevor Ariza autoomatically make one eligible for an apendectomy? I guess Okafor’s next…

Robcat says:
man, this guy is cursed. But you need more than that to stop him. He’ll never give up, the dude is the most determined NBA player ever. And Harlem_World is absolutely right.
