S. Jasikevicius suffers the sillyest injury

[Gedas]

S. Jasikevicius sprained his knee in the rookie-Sophomore game, when, in the second half, he stepped on a photographers foot acsidently.
This happened, cause the photographer had his foot on the court and Saras didn't see it. Now he might miss some Pacers games. Crazy things happen.

What a way to get an injury!

[SVG18]

Shit happens as they say

[Pera]

lol
sarunas played in slovenia for a few years
i miss does days
but his doing fine in the nba now

[MaD_hAND1e]

How come they announced him as a forward in the RookSoph game? I thought we was a point guard.

Tough break for Jasikevicius and the Pacers. But the silliest injury still belongs to Dino Radja back in the 1997 season: stung on the lip by a bee, during a game.

[dada]

I wonder exactly how long he will be out, Pacers cant affort more people to miss time.

[air2k5]

lol, he should sue the photographer.

[Nel]

The silliest and grosest injury i have heard of is when gooden had a severe case of boils..

[maes]

It's the curse of the Pacers, even if you avoid injury during normal playtime, it will find a way to nail you.

what a wierd injury i hope that photographer feels guilty

How come everytime someone steps on another person's foot they sprain an ankle? I had it happen all the time when I played soccer, but never sprained anything. Why don't players wear an ankle brace or something?

stung on the lip by a bee, during a game.

Ahh, I remember that one... A bee, finds its way into teh arena, and then goes and bites the home team's starting power forward in the lip of all places... Classic.

Depends whether they have their ankles taped, the severity of the roll/twist and whether they come down on it.

Actually it's worth mentioning Pervis Ellison missed time for the Celtics that year after breaking his foot having dropped a coffee table on it. Not a good year for the Celtics...then they still miss out in the Duncan Sweepstakes.

yes, now I remember... memories... but I think nothing beats that Colts player having been stabbed on the leg by his wife before the AFC title game...

[Ruff Ryder]

Didn't Maggette break his finger when he slammed his hand on the scorer's table out of frustration?

[Cloudy]

lol bad luck for sarunus... hope injury wouldn't be too bad
the starting pg for our team had a stupid injury too, he was angry about the refs, so he kicked the wall which is padded, but dont know why, he got a sprained ankle

[lilnate4]

Maybe because you knew you were going to step on someone's foot but you reaction is too slow to do anything to stop it?
Knowing that you play soccer, in playing soccer your eyes are focused on the ball or on the ground. Upon seeing in a short moment that you are about to step on someone's foot, your body/muscles react to prevent any damage to your foot because it is already too late for the body to stop your foot in stepping on someone else's foot. There's a difference on knowing you are about to step on something from having no idea on what you just stepped on, there's a big change with the way your foot reacts with all that weight being supported.

I asked myself the same question before until it happened to me.

Actually, it's at least a 60% chance of injury every time i've seen it go down. It's usually on rebounds.

If you weigh 240 lbs and come down from about 24 inches in the air with both hands on the ball (so you can't balance w/ your arms), you will put all 240 lbs on your ankle ligaments when you come down with the foot rolled over.

Derek Anderson last year- "DNP- Dental pain"

[Andrew]

We might have a new winner, though to be fair extreme dental discomfort doesn't make you do a whole lot of activities. Unique nevertheless.

[Jugs]

I knew photography was dangerous

[Pera]

lol, he should sue the photographer.

if i was sarunas i would
photographer

I think it was Andrew himself who posted the weirdest one (might be someone else though). If I remember correctly it was a Charlotte Hornet who sprained his thumb or some other part of his hands because of excessive video gaming.
