Monta Ellis, according to multiple league sources that spoke with Marc Stein, had several cuts and abrasions on his leg, which is atypical of an injury sustained on a basketball court, in addition to the high ankle sprain and torn deltoid ligament he suffered on Aug. 21.

Ellis has not spoken publicly since his injury was revealed Wednesday and his agent, Jeff Fried, declined comment when reached by ESPN.com.

Two sports medicine experts consulted by ESPN.com, granted anonymity because they aren't privy to the specifics of Ellis' condition, said that a torn deltoid ligament is rarely seen in basketball.

That sure as hell doesn't sound like a practice injury or even a pickup game as was rumored earlier this week. Looks like we have a new Vlad Rad before our eyes...

What'd Vlad Rad do? I forgot haha.

In terms of Ellis, we should probably give him the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise. He doesn't seem like the type to lie.

I saw all the articles and eveything all over espn/yahoo about it.. I thought it was just a pick up game, but the rest of that stuff sounds different...

Then again The deltoid ligament looks like it would be part of a ankle sprain
It would have to be bad to tear it tho.
Abrasions and cuts would only occur on a gravel court I would think

Dude probably tripped and fell.

Ahh come on man. I love this guy. The last thing I want is Monta getting caught up in off-court drama's, especially when it will keep him out of games. Hopefully it's nothing major and all is well in the end, but it doesn't look good so far.

Injured his shoulder snowboarding.... but told the Lakers he was walking on an icy driveway with both hands in his pockets and he slipped and fell and couldn't get his hands out his pockets to break the fall so he fell on his shoulder.

Kupchak was like ... ... ... ....

LMFAO! Seriously. Pretty good excuse, but too much detail to believe. Funny **** nonetheless

^i thought he was carrying a coffee, but hey...i read this article and thought...not everyone plays on an indoor court, so he probably just fell on an outdoor court...dont see it being a big issue
