76ers Richaun Holmes INJURED ALREADY...!

Good Morning from WTF Upper Darby!

Go to sleep, wake up? Richaun Holmes? Injured already. -_- This injury bullshit with Sixers draft choices and that whole Andrew Bynum-thing? >_< While we gave Orlando Nik Vucevic, which I WAS AGAINST! As if I had any say in the matter, right? Now Richaun Holmes who really looks promising, fractured HIS ELBOW making a fast-break RUNDOWN BLOCK FROM BEHIND! I saw the play just now and it was obvious he was fucked up. So?

He's out 6-to-8 weeks! So there goes HIS Summer League Game Auditions. I hope he makes the team because just from what he showed he's a good player and I'd like him to make the team and stay on the team. This injury shit that keeps happening, whether the player is being drafted busted up. Like Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid. It's gotta stop. Here is the article on Holmes' injury and get well soon young man. Lord knows this town's team needs as much support and talent as anybody can muster up!

Report: Sixers' Richaun Holmes fractures elbow vs. Jazz

All Richaun Holmes wanted was a chance. He was confident his motor and attention to detail would shine through in the end.

“Everything I can control, I do it to the best of my ability,” Holmes said after Tuesday night’s win over the Celtics in the Utah Jazz Summer League. “I just come in and give maximum effort and maximum communication and do whatever I can to help the team win.”

But that high intensity may have come back to bite him on Thursday night. In the Sixers’ 84-78 overtime loss to the Jazz, Holmes suffered a fractured elbow and will miss six to eight weeks, according to Real GM’s Shams Charania.

With the Sixers clinging to a 70-68 lead with 2:35 to play, Holmes tracked down Jazz guard Wesley Saunders, who went up for a lay-up in transition. Holmes got a piece of the ball, but came down hard on his right elbow underneath the basket. He immediately grabbed the elbow and headed to the bench, where he was tended to by trainers. 

Holmes, a second-round pick (37th overall) out of Bowling Green, had his best game of the summer league in Tuesday’s win, totaling 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes.

The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 9.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game over three games. He shot 42.3 percent (11 for 26) overall.

The Sixers wrapped up Utah Jazz Summer League play Thursday night, finishing with a 1-2 record. They head to Las Vegas where play will begin Friday and continue through July 20.
