"Tyson Chandler missed the New Orleans Hornets' last 12 games before the All-Star break with a sprained left ankle. But that had nothing to do with why he failed his physical with the Oklahoma City Thunder and was thus sent back to the Hornets on Wednesday. After examining Chandler's left big toe, Dr. Carlan Yates, Oklahoma City's team physician, determined that the risk of re-injury was too great to give Chandler a clean bill of health (ESPN)."
Not only were the Hornets not able to cut salary, but they are now stuck with a guy who has a "high probability" of reinjuring that toe. I am sure Chandler with not be very happy that he was being traded, and the team won't be happy that the deal fell through because he couldn't pass a physical. As DP said yesterday, this team's chances of doing anything in the Western Conference has gone out the door, and even with Chandler back I don't think it will change anything.
