Then Magic point guard Jameer Nelson goes down with a shoulder injury.
Finally, New Orleans PG Chris Paul -- CP3 according to the cool kids -- develops one of those nasty groins.
What does all this mean?
I truly thought the Lakers were head and shoulders above everybody in the West. The Bynum injury impacts that. Even if he's back by the beginning of the playoffs, will he be the same? What will happen when he tries to work his way back into the lineup?
Does this mean San Antonio or Denver has a chance in the West? Portland even?
For Orlando, I think this is an injury that slides them back and makes the East the two-team race that everybody thought it would be. I just don't see them having the long-range firepower of either Cleveland or Boston. Writing that just means that Orlando will now roll.
Haven't heard much more about CP3, but this seems to be the least severe of the injuries. Regardless, this has been an eventful few days.
