The Dude and the Doctor

NBA Injury Report

The thinking for my new RotoExperts.com NBA Injury column (syndicated on Yahoo! Sports) is simple: Get a medical professional to dispense information and opinions on player’s injuries. Since I’m not a medical pro — you cannot trust me because I’m not a doctor — I restrict myself to providing fantasy advice and leave the medical details to the doc.

Beyond just providing fantasy NBA advice, I hope that the readers of this column find value in the fantastic medical information. Who knows, maybe someone is wondering exactly what a shoulder subluxation is. And maybe someone can learn how to treat their sprained wrist or pulled hammy if he or she incurs it on the basketball court or football field. It’s also about delivering valuable information in an entertaining fashion, so that’s what I’ll strive to do in this column during the NBA season.
