ball junkie 277 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 RealGM had an update on Marcin this morning... quote: Briefing: by the end of the 3rd quarter of the international game against United Kingdom, Marcin tried to do an alley-oop, but he failed to catch the ball properly and fell straight on his back. He was lying on the floor for some minutes and after this time went to the locker room with the help of his teammate and one of the staff members. Hopefully, as Marcin himself mentioned that "It's nothing serious", there is a belief he just strained his back muscle. At present, nobody knows whether he will play today against Israel and on Sunday against Turkey. Only thing they know for sure is that Marcin will stay with the Polish national team until EuroBasket 2009 and he is expected to be fully recovered. Just to let you know - at the end Poland won second straight game after beating Croatia. The game with Croatia was Gortat's best performance with 22 pts and 13 rbs - Wow, Gortat with 22 pts. and 13 rebounds and only played 3 quarters...we got ourselves a heck of a back-up center!!! Here's a link to watch a replay of the game...I couldn't get it to work... http://sport.tvp.pl/koszykowka...mecz-polskachorwacja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShefGator 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 "It has gone down for cloak-room with assistance of masseur and Szymona Szewczyka. So, Gortat goes down to the cloak room and gets a massage and he feels better? Sounds like Marcin has a little Rick Pitino in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
