When Daniels dropped to the floor on a seemingly harmless play I really thought this was going to end up being something terrible. Thank God it's not, but this story is becoming very interesting.
"McKeon (Celtics team doctor) confirmed that Sunday's injury was directly related to the same injury sustained in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals last spring, when the team announced at first that Daniels had a concussion. It was disclosed that it was actually a spinal cord bruise (WEEI)."
I must repeat that Daniels has full movement in his arms and legs, but I was really surprised to hear that this was because of a preexisting injury. Does that mean the Celtics knew something like this might happen?
It is also odd, because that injury that are referring to was very similar to this one. A seemingly harmless play and then Daniels just went down. All of this is very odd to me and I want to hear more. The most important thing is that Daniels seems like he is going to be OK. Right now they are saying he is out indefinitely, and you have to wonder if this is something that could happen again. I mean this "bruise" didn't go away in about 9 months, what is one more month of rest going to do?
