"I mean, c'mon. If I could play, I would play all day long. People thought I was doggin' it or whatever, but I'm not that kind of dude. If I can play, I'll play through anything. And I've already played through a bunch of stuff that people don't know about.

"I know I'll be back before [the end of the season]. We've been able to stay above water without me, so when I get back for those 20 or 30 games, hopefully we'll be able to take off."

I don't doubt him...

… but I question his toughness. I guess I am just old school. In high school I played through the same quad injury that he had. I don’t know if they were the same extent but I had that same injury and still played. Now granted I wasn’t our number one guy and the team didn’t depend on me, but I just question his toughness. I don’t question the injury at all. And yes I am glad it happened on the court versus the golf cart.

Sorry to those who will get offended but I have to do this:

“I’ve already played through a bunch of stuff that people don’t know about. I had a hangnail, a zit that caused pain on my nose, and a paper cut that really, really hurt. Y’all don’t know what it’s like! I’ve played through some tough stuff.” – C Booz
