OrlandoNKentucky 54 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Hey, I was thinking tonight about how I really can't remember D12 going through a serious stretch where he was injured and had to miss a significant amount of games in a row or even miss a lot of games in a season. Its 5am, so I don't feel like looking it up, but if someone knows where to look, how many games has D12 missed to injury? and what is his highest amount of misses in 1 season so far? The reason this sparked my curiosity is because of how it seems some of the major players on teams (all across major league sports) get hurt and half to miss a significant amount of time during a season. Wade, Chipper Jones, and many more. But I really can't remember D12 going through something where he had to miss more than a couple of games in a row. Hopefully this isn't a jinx either.

Air Gordon 156 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Dwight played all 82 games his first 4 seasons. His 5th season he missed 3 games, last year he played every game again and so far this year he's missed 2 games. Also in Dwight's playoff career out of a possible 52 games, he's appeared in 51 of them. So out of 583 possible games, Dwight's played in 577. The 3 he missed in 08 - 09 I don't remember why exactly. I remember him missing back to back midseason and I think he sat out the last game of the year to rest for the playoffs. This year he missed 2 games due to the stomach virus. The playoff game he missed was due to suspension for elbowing Dalembert. So all in all, we have a very durable big man. *knock on wood* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrlandoNKentucky 54 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Either that means that our medical staff is one of the best or Dwight is lucky or one tough SOB I'm always afraid when he flys high for a dunk, he's gonna roll an ankle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 49 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Well you have to remember that Dwight works in the gym a ton, wich helps to prevent the injuries because he has alot of muscles to protect the ligaments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
