Jonas Jerebko Tears Achilles Tendon, Out Several Months

PrintSo sayeth the incomparable Matt Dery on Twitter:
"Pistons Jonas Jerebko has a torn achilles tendon. More soon." #
I am being told that Jerebko will likely miss 2 to 3 months minimum. Terrible News." #
This is Terrible News indeed. Before the extent of the injury was known, Charlie Villanueva spoke in the locker room about seeing Jerebko leave the game with injury:
"When I saw Tay go down, I was like ‘No, not this again,' " Villanueva said. "Thank God he's OK, but then Jonas went down.
"It seems we can't catch a break."
It's absolutely incredible the bad luck this team has had staying healthy the last 12 months. (It is incredible, right? Or were we simply spoiled by the team's unprecedented streak of good health from 2003-08?)
If there's any silver lining to this situation, it's that the coaching staff may feel inclined to significantly increase rookie Greg Monroe's role. That's still not very satisfying, of course; Jerebko is one of the most intriguing players on the team, showing flashes as a rookie last year and this past summer with the Swedish national team that he can be so much more than just a hustle player. So while expediting Monroe's development is a positive, exploring Jerebko's upside is just as important to Detroit's long-term success.
(For the sake of our collective sanity, I'm just going to ignore the very real possibility of Chris Wilcox filling Jerebko's role instead of Monroe. Give the fans what they want, Q!)
Update: Ugh. As Kriz points out in the comments, Vince Ellis of the Free Press noted on Twitter it could be much worse:
Jerebko could miss up to five months. #
Update 2: Via Pistons Twitter feed:
He is scheduled to have surgery on Friday, October 8 and is expected to miss the next five-to-six months. #pistons
Commence wailing and thrashing of arms now.

Bright side?
The missing time, plus sucking after coming back from injury may allow us to sign him for very very cheap.
High pick!

Him an Iott are saying that the whole 2-3 months is incredibly optimistic.

This sucks and all...
But I hope this won’t fire up the excuse factory from the player and the coaches. He is a big part of our team, but we should still be able to improve.
5 months means Jerebko comes back around the all-star break, where we would have a trade lined up or already finished, and we can get him into the lineup. We’ll definitely lose some games where we could have won, but hopefully other players take advantage of time to show their skills.
Here’s hoping that Maxiell / Villa / Monroe take it upon themselves to make this shit work

This is a major injury
One that has derailed the careers of many professional athletes. 2-3 months sounds almost absurdly optimistic.
Here’s the thing that makes me feel awful, beyond the fact we Piston fans don’t get to watch him play — Jonas is playing for the first real contract of his career this year, the contract that could set him up for life. Much as I think athletes make way too much money, you gotta feel for anyone who’s in the situation where his entire livelihood is threatened.
Here’s hoping (and for me at least, a quick prayer) that Jonas is able to recover, and his career picks up where it left off when he’s back on track.
Yes
Jonas is playing for the first real contract of his career this year, the contract that could set him up for life. Much as I think athletes make way too much money, you gotta feel for anyone who’s in the situation where his entire livelihood is threatened.
For all of Dumars’ faults, he is incredibly loyal to his players. Here’s hoping that even if Jonas isn’t able come back this year, Joe gives him at least a minor contract for next year to allow him the opportunity to resurrect his career.
Unfortunately, there’s really no way to spin this as a positive. Optimistically, with a full roster this is a 35 win team, maybe up to 40 if everything broke perfectly. Without Jerebko, I personally can’t see this team winning more than 30 games (and less is likely). And the losing isn’t what sucks the most, losing is actually kinda necessary at this point, what sucks is that Achilles injuries are really, really bad for basketball players, especially players like Jerebko who rely on quickness and athleticism.
You could spin it this way...
With Jerebko contributing the second highest win share on the team last season, his absence will surely be felt. While the roster additions of Monroe and McGrady combined with the off-season work ethic of CV and Bynum could result in some additional wins, the Eastern Conference is arguably the best it’s been in the past 5 years. With that in mind, our odds of a top 5 pick just got that much better.

you could spin it this way ...
Without Jonas, the Pistons are, in a way, who they were before last season + Greg Monroe + Tracy McGrady (who might not be much judging by the 1st preseason game). Remember, Jonas Jerebko wasn’t supposed to be this good. I think a lot of people were counting on the Pistons winning 35+ games, possibly getting into the playoffs, before bad boy Jonas proved he was one of our better all around players. Obviously, the Pistons weren’t as good as a lot of predictions last year, (especially mine) and somebody needs to step up, but they can still improve upon 27 wins without Jonas, IMOE (in my optimistic epinion).
/diarrhearainbows, full on
in fact
I just looked back at all the Blogger Previews from last year and everybody had the Pistons winning 40 games (including the great Kevin Dwyer) and there was not a single mention of Jonas Jerebko in any of them beyond “Additions.” Obviously, last year is more telling than a bunch of incredible bloggers’ predictions but I’m trying to poop you rainbows here people!
Also, he had the chance to become the Jonas we all know and love last year due to — what else? — injuries (and, why not, a thin front court). Oh the irony.
On a macro level, this forces certain rotations and provides Chunks and Moose to step up their games.

This signature is false.
If Daye actually gets to play … he might be able to replace some of JJ’s production.
But I honestly feel guilty saying that. I just feel awful for Jonas. Genuinely awful.
The problem is
I don’t believe that neither him or Monroe will be the ones taking Jerebko’s minutes, I think it will be Charlie, Maxiell and Willcox.
But that’s perhaps the negative in me.
Where in the world is Chris Wilcox?
I think you're right
I think backup minutes at SF were probably mostly between TMac and Daye already … it’s just my persistence that JJ is really a SF that leads me to the conclusion above.
With this injury
I’m starting to think a Gordon/Daye/Tay/Monroe/BigBen line-up might be the best way to go. The team might as well give up on the idea of passing coming from our guards, and just worry about having enough size and versatility to compete on a nightly basis.

Bad for team, bad for fans
Yes, this will make the Pistons a worse team. It will also make them less fun to watch. JJ was a fan favorite for a bunch of good reasons.
I guess options for starting PF are: Maxy, CV, and maybe Monroe.
Monroe/Wallace
Maxiell/CV/Daye
I was surprised but also impressed to see Daye defending some power forwards out there…If you go Stuckey/Hamilton/Rip/Monroe/Wallace and follow that with Bynum/Gordon/Daye/CV/Max that could work…although our 2nd team is fairly undersized up front…

Another reason why it's terrible:
Jonas averaged almost 23 and 12 per 40 last night. This is almost exactly what he averaged for Sweden last summer and proves beyond any doubt that he could have done it all season.
Get well soon, Jonas!

I hope
That Joe realizes how much further weaker this makes us inside defensively. As last night illustrated, inside (defense and rebounding) remains our weakness. Monroe is encouraging, and I like the kid, but he is not there yet.Beyond him (outside of Wallace, of course) I don’t really like any of our bigs. So while everybody knows we needed a good defensive big guy, I hope this pushed the front office to look for one with more intent.
Where in the world is Chris Wilcox?
Beyond Monroe and Ben we hardly have any "bigs"
Wilcox has been relegated to the end of the bench. CV is has PF height, but doesn’t really play like most bigs (he doesn’t bang inside much). Maxy likes to bang (insert dirty joke here if you want), but he’s significantly shorter than most PFs and pretty much all centers. Hell, Ben and Monroe are shorter than most centers. For that matter, JJ was undersized for a PF.
Of course, I’m not telling anyone here anything they don’t already know. . . .
What's it gonna take for Villanueva to exploit his size and be a killer inside?
Why the fuck wouldn’t you wanna be that guy? The city would adore him.

Charlie V seems like he’s all about the fans, with his Facebook and Twitter, etc. And I think he genuinely is. What I can’t figure is why he doesn’t at least TRY to be that beast down low that Detroit fans would adore.
I don't think he's not trying
He was a beast down low before his injuries. I don’t think Charlie is to blame about this as much as his injuries, Kuester’s plays and our memories of Sheed on the perimeter. Take those three out of the equation, I don’t think people would be complaining.

And that honestly makes me feel bad. He’ll probably get little more than a vet minimum contract. Sucks so bad for him. If anyone deserves something better, it’s Jonas.
I bet you we offer him a portion of our MLE
If we gave Amir Johnson 3 Mil a year, I don’t see how we can’t give Jonas the same.

Gulk, you really think he's gonna get the Vet Min?
(Actual Question)
Personally I put that way past Joe Dumars. He may have traded Billups and thrown away several promising talents (Afflalo), but when it comes to money I don’t see him doing Jerebko like that.
I don’t want add player does not have blue collar mentality,

Probably a “little more than” a vet min deal … we’re talking about an injury that may keep him out all season, and if he comes back at all, no way he’s at 100%. I think Joe’s a class act, but he’s also a shrewd business man.
If he’s not back this season, it’s hard to see anyone other than Joe putting any money into him, understandably so. Joe will have the inside track as to how healthy he is, he won’t have to share that info, and thus he’ll be in a competitive place to offer him a smallish contract.
Biannual exception type money seems entirely possible.
If he can still play
I’d pay him 3,4,5, and a team option for the 4th year at 5.

Daye
Jerebko is more important to winning, and I think he still has some room for growing.
But Daye remains the talent that I hope flourishes this year. Tay was probably our most significant player last night due to his versatility (passing, scoring, defending), and Daye has shown flashes of being able to do all those things, perhaps even better.
So, it would have upset me further if it was Daye the one who was losing time. Just as it will upset me if I don’t feel he is getting enough time this season.
He might develop, he might not, but the sooner we know the better. Jonas we already know is a contributor.
Where in the world is Chris Wilcox?
While I’m with you insofar as Daye’s development this season is important, don’t you think that Jonas is the only player about whom there were no questions? Everyone else either needs to develop, fight for PT, learn to play out of (in?) position, prove themselves after de-chunking in the offseason, is recovering from an injury, or is the topic of trade chatter. JJ, as strange as this sounds for a 2nd year, 2nd round draft pick, looked to be our rock. The only guy that would be there and perform no matter what, engine trouble be damned. Even Big Ben is 36 and comes with numbered days. If Stuckey wants to become a leader this season, he has his work cut out for him.
This signature is false.
Which is why Daye missing time would be more upsetting.
Like I said we already know Jonas is a contributor.
While it would be nice seeing him get better, even if he doesn’t significant does we already know that at worst he is a good rotation player that will bring defense and hustle.
Its not that I undermine Jonas contributions, I know he has been surprisingly important for us, but I’m more concerned with the future than this season.
I care about winning, and I want this team to be good sooner rather than later, but if we can’t pull that massive trade we need in order to improve then we need to max out the players we have. Competing for a championship (and perhaps the playoffs) is not realistic this year, so lets focus on development, both individual players and as a team.
Where in the world is Chris Wilcox?
Beyond this season
Your assessment rings true. I’ll confess that recently I’ve fallen off my 12-step and have been nipping the Kool-Aid, even before lunch some days, and as a result have not yet given up on this season. I feel like there are too many variables to write it off completely. That said, assuming a full recovery from Jonas, I’ll agree that we know he is a baller, whereas Daye needs to bring the 2010/2011 noyze. With a yz.
This signature is false.
Ben Wallace
If that dude tore his Achilles, it’s Game Over on his career.
Big Ben doesn’t deserve to go out that way.
But even then … it’s close.
Surely he doesn't
But at least he would go out amongst adoring fans. And it’s not as though the sweet smells of freshly polished championship trophy are wafting under his muscular nose. He has many good years and a HOF career behind him.
Agreed, though…close.
This signature is false.
I thought about Ben when trying to formulate a vote.
Wallace and Jerebko are far and away my favorites for the work ethic and at this moment, the Baddest Boys on our team. The only cats out there really killing it in the face of enemies of Detroit Basketball. Wallace came back to resurrect that shit with a deadly combination of brute physicality and a multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year mentality. Jerebko is the only kid on our squad not talking that shit but actually walking with it.
I don’t need to vote, I don’t want anyone getting hurt out there. But I most motherfucking definitely have a few favorites, and that’s them.
I don’t want add player does not have blue collar mentality,
even if he is great player. Piston should not quit your job. - OK from J
It's only a PARTIAL tear
That’s kind of good news isn’t it?
Pistons medical staff confirmed today through an MRI that Jerebko suffered a partially ruptured Achilles tendon on his right leg during the first quarter in last night’s game at Miami. He is scheduled to have surgery on Friday, October 8 and is expected to miss the next five-to-six months.
Yeah, great news
And remember that one time Elton Brand ruptured his achilles?
This never woulda happened if MP had prayed for him like Villanueva asked…

All I know from my friends is that you have to let it fully heal, otherwise it will be a recurring issue for the rest of your life. A friend of mine that plays soccer has now had 4 acl surgeries because she refused to complete her physical therapy before playing again.

that's the importance of letting it heal completely.
I know very little about basketball mechanics, (not to promote myself here) but I’ve done a lot of research regarding mechanics, specifically to baseball. And even though my research is sport specific, my knowledge leads me to believe that the legs in general are extremely crucial across the board for all sports mechanically.
With basketball it’s fairly easy to believe that this is true, but even the non obvious things will be affected because a bodies reaction is to compensate itself by over exerting it self at other joints. In baseball overloading on joints can cause major issues (see Joel Zumaya). With basketball I can’t imagine major injuries being a problem, but a bunch of smaller ones consistently presenting themselves being a problem (ankle problems for one).
I’m gonna say shut down Jonas completely until next season. Let Arnie work his magic. And really it’s because this team has Arnie that I’m confident that Jonas will be back just as strong as before.
Agreed.
Detroit’s not contending for the title this year. Bringing Jonas back so he can play the final 10-15 games of the season makes no sense to me, especially if he could use that time to fully heal.
You can't reap the reward if you don't first take the risk.
On top of that
Jonas will be a free agent, and we’ll likely be able to sign him for a cheap $$$.

NBA PM: Pistons Suffer Big Loss

Adjust font size:
Jerebko Out Five-Six Months: Yesterday was a big day for the Detroit Pistons. There was a newfound sense of excitement surrounding the team after word broke that Mike Ilitch, owner of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers, would be adding the Pistons to his collection of sport franchises. It also marked the start of the 2010-2011 season with a matchup against the Miami HEAT. The Pistons were hoping that the start of a new year meant the end of the injury issues that derailed them in 2009-2010, but unfortunately it took just seven minutes for the injury bug to bite again in a major way.
Start power forward Jonas Jerebko, a second team all-rookie selection last season, went down with a partially ruptured right Achilles tendon. Jerebko is set to undergo surgery to repair the tendon on Friday and will miss five-to-six months as a result. Rookie guard Terrico White also suffered a significant injury, breaking the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. White will have surgery on the same date as Jerebko, after which a timetable for his return will be set.
The loss of White will be easy to offset as the Pistons are loaded in the backcourt, but Jerebko leaves a noticeable void in their frontline that won’t be easy to fill.

Wait, what happens if Bynum gets hurt?
Now we don’t have a back up, back up point guard. Given that we kind of have 1.5 point guards now, having Terrico around in case of emergency would have been kind of nice. Now if Stuckey gets hurt we are barely going to look like a basketball team. Joe D, do your job and make this team make sense.
If it makes you feel any better, Roy Hibbert and Tyler Hansbrough are their frontcourt of the future…
You’re not feeling Psycho T??
But for reals, I mainly like the future PG/SG/SF line-up of Collison/George/Granger. Granger and Collison are both good scorers, and George’s college stats project him to be a good defensive player (a slightly less athletic Iguodala-type). Could be a solid mix.
You can't prevent Injuries
They happen to all teams. Detroit was unbelievably fortunate to have no significant injuries during our run of dominance in the 00’s decade. What would u have Joe D do? Make an immediate deal just because we lost our 3rd string PG?
I say take a vicadin, calm down, and hope that we don’t have anymore significant injuries.
Ask Golden St. how they liked losing nearly their WHOLE team last year. Hell, the Warriors had at least 2-3 D-leaguers on the active playing roster for the better part of the season!
“Given that we kind of have 1.5 poing guards now” – that’s insulting to Stuckey and his ability to play point. Just b/c he’s not Tony Parker or Steve Nash don’t mean the kid can’t play point. He just happens to be really good off the ball as well.

Oh come on! 2 recs? He’s basically just like Jonas. He’s got the size, length, athleticism, perimeter game. If he didn’t play like his grandma just died, he’d be the Swede!

Just noticed
the new Pistons.com really kind of sucks. Turd bronze background?
This picture is quite nice, though.
He's so dreamy.
(what, I need a Jonas replacement to get me through the season)
Where in the world is Chris Wilcox?
Don't worry, the Trout can still get you wet.
Bow chicka wow wow!
Terrence J. is feeling a bit fishy...

Yeah you didn't look very gringo to me.
Does gringo offend anybody here by the way?
Searching for Sheed's bald spot.
Kriz, I hardly recognize you now with the Monroe pic.

Jonas would want me to move on.

I'm doing it for him.
He needs peace and calm during his recovery. Imagine if he wakes up one night to me caressing his hair, or he sees me through a window. Surely he might get startled and awkwardly fall on his surgically repaired heel causing some form of damage.
I must protect him from himself. I must sacrifice.

Kriz, I’ve got an solution to all of your problems.
- You need to learn a foreign language
- You want to support Jonas Jerebko during his recovery
Therefore…
…you should study Swedish, the language of love! Comfort Jonas in his own language with words that will inspire him to become the greatest basketball player and boyfriend ever!

Beginners' Swedish
Rekt i huvud! Rekt i huvud!
(Right in the head! Right in the head!)
Det ar mycket mycket mycket bra!
(That’s very, very, very good!)
After seeing My Life as a Dog in "87, I audited a Swedish class for a semester. And I’m still friends with the professor. True story!

Of course it's made of win.
It got the MFMPSOA. We probably didn’t even need the poll.

I may have done what I could to reel in that poll a bit… Nothing fishy about it.

so im playing 2k11 and
the pistons really suck hard. anyone notice all the weird lineups that computerized Q throws in if you let the AI run the substitutions? he has not played Daye or T-Mac once yet in about 6 games.
it makes me depressed for our upcoming season
the line up of bynum, gordon, ripm tay and monroe is so terrible in this game and i suspect that we will see it in real life where it will be even more depressing.
Wow, who would have thought that a lineup with three guys out of position would suck?
Some heroic efforts against LeBron to the contrary notwithstanding, Rip is NOT a SF. You would have thought the last two seasons watching him play out of position and watching Tay play out of position at the PF would have taught us something. And I don’t care what position Monroe played in college, he’s not an NBA center.
I know I’m responding to a lineup a video game created, but I agree it’s not unlikely we’ll see that — or something like that — in real life. It’s like the opposite of trying to maximize the talent we have: playing guys out of position minimizes the talent we have. Rip and Tay = good to very good SG and SF, but mediocre at best SF and PF.
*Quietly Sobs in the Dark*
Tears have run dry
I wish it were a lie,
but the ankle now fails,
say the dreary detals.
I drink to the history,
So in my great misery,
I cry for this beautiful Beau,
The fearless Jonas Jerebko.
To experience the consequences of my own choices. This is why I live
The only thing that
hurts more than torn Achilles
is my broken heart.

Noy meant to offend anyone
Jonas is my shepherd, he’s all i want want.
He makes me lie down in hardwood,
he leads me beside quiet benches,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of love
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of defeat,
I will fear no lottery,
for you,Jonas, are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a romantic dinner before me
in the presence of the Heat.
You anoint my head with gatorade;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of Jonas
forever.
(Never realized how kinky this psalm was)
Jonas, jag älskar dig! Du är vacker.

I wasn't.
I realize Kriz is trying to funny/comedic (which I applaud – comedy makes the world go round), but I don’t favor taking a passage from a Psalm and using it in the way he did. That’s all guys.
So about them Pistons….
You can't reap the reward if you don't first take the risk.
Would it make you feel better
if you knew Kriz is a she?
So I said to Jonas,
“You promised me Jonas,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?”
Jonas replied,
“The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you.”

Jonas replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you.
And now you shall see one set no more,
for I can carry you no longer.
My tendon has burst and thus for now,
alongside your footprints
you shall see only my left but not my right."

Please elaborate!
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
If being gay for Jonas is gay . . .
then I don’t want to be not gay.

That's very Rude, Billy
I don’t want add player does not have blue collar mentality,
even if he is great player. Piston should not quit your job. - OK from J
