Early Shot in leg

Prayers for cleanthony!

Hope he's OK and those reports of him being shot in the knee don't affect his career.

There is a disabled player exception rule in the NBA but it won't affect the Knicks since the cap on this exception is 1/2 of Early's salary which is less than the vet minimum available to the Knicks and they have a roster spot available already.

I feel bad for Early, I really do, especially since I think being shot in the knee is probably going to be real bad news for him, most likely in the long-term. I will say this though and this may end up being an unpopular opinion, but a young player who is not getting any minutes and could be facing losing his window to have a professional career, maybe should be doing something else with his time than being out at a gentleman's club the night after a game until after 4 in the morning. Regardless, I hope everything turns out okay for him.

He was released from the hospital so it was probably not a serious wound.

Glad to hear Early is going to be okay.

Right on cue, JR Smith has started his social media tirade against people who said what I said about maybe don't be out at a strip club after 4AM in the middle of the season. He will never get it. Glad he is Lebron James' problem now.

Get well Cle.

KOL is a great bbs site, only one I'm able to cut and paste a picture to a post, all the rest you need a link.

Grown men can do what they choose. But... Leaving strip clubs around 3-4 in the AM when you have a noon practice the next day... Doesn't scream "dedicated to my craft" to me.
