Herrmann still innjurred

by Matt Watson on Oct 17, 2008 2:58 PM EDT

Curry said the Pistons' medical staff has run a bunch of tests on Herrmann and all have come back clean. What could be happening, Curry guessed, is that some cartilege has been pulled from the rib cage, which, as you can imagine, is extremely painful. I watched him try to raise himself up from a seated position in the locker room in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, and he was in great pain. Nobody knows when the pain will relent and he can return to action.

After hearing about how Walter Herrmann stole the show at the team's open practice early in camp, it's disappointing that he's spent his entire preseason hobbled by an injury that's not showing any signs of going away. If I had to guess, I'd expect to see a lot of Arron Afflalo at small forward early in the season.

I will be the sceptic here and ignore the article and just say that this injury doesn’t surprise me. I will leave it at that.

From TrueBluePistons blog

Walter Herrmann, still suffering from sore ribs that have limited him to one preseason game, is showing improvement. He ran and shot on Friday and, Curry hopes, could be cleared to practice either Sunday or Monday.

This makes more sense to me than McCosky’s comments. I doubt if Herrmann could run if he was having the problems described by McCosky

Hope he recovers quickly and it’s nothing more serious.

And that’s one grreat title, Matt.

I’ve been just as disappointed as you, Matt. Even though I got to see him play some of his best basketball as a Piston in their open practice, I was impatiently waiting to see him again during this pre-season. Obviously and unfortunately, that hasn’t happened, let’s hope he gets cleared in the next couple days because I’m going to the game on Wednesday and I want to see the Pistons at full-strength against the Cavs.
