Gortat Injury

Updated injury news from the 02... not good for Orlando or the Eurobasket hosts. Marcin Gortat was a DNP against Israel as Poland slipped to an 86-72 defeat. Gortat underwent further tests after his Friday night collision with Joel Freeland as both pursued a loose ball, and will have an MRI on his back in the next day. He is flying back to Poland on Saturday, according to Polish team management, and will miss the rest of the weekend's Game On tournament. "Before we think about Eurobasket, I'm worried first of all about his health," said Poland coach Muli Katzurin. "After that from our point of view, he's not a player we can easily replace. We're waiting to see the outcome of the examination" - BritBall

Marcin Gortat's lower-back injury is likely a muscle strain, the center's agent told the Orlando Sentinel.

Agent Guy Zucker said he spoke with Gortat on Sunday and that the injury "appears to be a muscle strain that should go away within days."

Gortat injured his back while playing for Poland in a tournament held in London over the weekend.

Now if he does end up being injured for long, in hindsight maybe we should've traded him to Dallas. I hope he's up and ready very soon.
