Updates on Dwight injury (Denton)

The shape of Howard's ailing left knee is somewhat of a concern after he missed the final two games of the Magic's 4-1 trip to the West Coast. The injury was serious enough to end Howard's streak of 351 consecutive games played and send him to the hospital for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging test Tuesday. He said the knee was deemed structurally sound and he hopes to play Thursday night when Orlando (19-6) hosts San Antonio (15-8) in a nationally televised game.

 

"It's been a little sore, but it hasn't hurt me for a couple of days," said Howard, who missed Orlando's wins in Utah (Saturday) and Golden State (Monday). "Hopefully, I'll be back on the court on Thursday. It doesn't concern me. I took a hard fall in Phoenix and that's what caused it."

Dwight Howard is being fitted for a knee brace that he will wear during practices, and the Magic will closely monitor the star's activity after an MRI on Tuesday showed he has inflammation in his knee.

 

He might also practice less, with the club opting to sit him at times.

 

The Magic said an MRI revealed no serious damage, only an inflammation or arthritis in the area.

is it just me, or does it seem like Denton has been slacking lately? his board has been super slow over the last week+

Maybe Denton lost some of his "privileges" and doesn't get the news as soon as before. Maybe the Magic where upset that his stuff was leaking too early and now are keeping him in check...

 

I do agree he is not coming up with new things as soon as before...

 

Anyhow, at least its just inflammation, but it will only get like that if something is wrong. I hope it doesn't continue to deteriorate and I also want to see Superman against the Spurs

Another update from Denton.

 

I hope that he'll use this time improving his FT shoot.
