Ariza Sprains MCL, Out 6-8 Weeks

Orlando forward Trevor Ariza has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of the MCL (medial collateral ligament) of his right knee, following an MRI late this afternoon in Los Angeles. Ariza will be out 6-8 weeks following rehabilitation. No surgery is required. He suffered the injury with 46.8 seconds left during the first half of last night's win at Golden State.

This season, Ariza has appeared in 31 games (seven starts) for the Magic, averaging 8.6 ppg., 4.5 rpg., 1.3 apg. and 1.16 stlpg. in 23.0 minpg.

Orlando continues its road trip tomorrow night at the Los Angeles Lakers. Tip-off is 10:30 pm ET.

Dwight Howard = MVP
Man, that sucks bad. I was hoping it would be only about 2 weeks or something. But whatever, I guess we're just gonna have to play without him.

thats good that it is only a sprain, it would have been devastating if it was a tear, so having just a sprain is the best case scenario that we all could have hoped for, trevor being out for 6-8 weeks doesn't shock me because a sprain to the knee takes a long time to recover from but im just glad it wasnt a tear

No coincidence that we entered the C-Webb talks immediately after this was announced.

McGrady and Howard... What could have been
I thought this was going to happen. Becuase if tear takes you out for a season, a sprain will probably will take you out for 20 games to half of the season. Anyways, I never heard this happen before. a sprain MCL.... Unheard of :unsure:

We aren't going to miss him that much. We have Bogans as a back-up who could shoot the 3 and drive, and play D.
