Krista Jahnke has some injury updates from today’s practice in her blog:
Forward Rasheed Wallace did not practice; he went to have X rays taken on his left foot. We’re supposed to get word tomorrow on whether there’s anything serious going on, but coach Flip Saunders did not expect that.
Guard Ronald (Flip) Murray was excused from Tuesday’s workout for “personal reasons.” Guard Lindsey Hunter stayed home sick. And Chris Webber decided to get another opinion on his left eye, which has a corneal abrasion and is not looking much better than when he suffered the injury last week.
The Pistons don’t play again until Friday in Miami, so hopefully all of this stuff can get sorted out over the next few days.

The human eye can heal itself rather quickly, especially for slight abrasions. It takes about 3 days to fully heal depending on the severity of the injury. This might be worse than what we think because Dwight Howard actually threw his hand with full force at C-Webb’s eye.
It’s also worth noting that Webber apparently had an allergic reaction to the eyedrops he was using — he was apparently vomiting before the Bulls game and almost didn’t play. I meant to post something about that but never did.
