I'll grab the link later since I'm on my phone and I saw this on FB. If someone wants to add the link that would be appreciated.

Not a huge blow obviously but sucks how many of our guys have dings at the beginning of the season. He did say he is expected back during the first week of the season though

Edit: just realized ace3g posted this in the GT earlier

Unrelated, but should we tag topics that aren't official player topics with player tag?

Huh? It's a topic about Lindy Waters who is a player. Why wouldn't the tag be appropriate? Unless you're suggesting we need a separate injury tag or something. Or should I change it to news? Guess I didn't really think about it

I'm just asking because my logic is that tags are useful for finding topics easier.
I'd have this kind of topic under news tag because it's irrelevant long term.
We can search by topic tags and let's say 5 years down the road we don't want hundreds of topics being shown as player thread search results.

That's my logic for player tag being used only for official player topics.
When someone gets injured it should have a news tag, imo.

Good point. Makes sense to me. Tag is updated

Is this an injury? Sounds more like a corrective procedure or something.

Really sucks as I thought he could have taken advantage of the first week or two and gotten himself a spot in the rotation. I still think his shooting will come in handy. If he can play decent defense, he's got a real chance to stay on the team.

and he was shooting well with the eye problem.

Homeboy waited until a few days before the regular season to get some Lasik
