Wow. That's a huge blow. First big injury - in age 30 season. I wonder what it will do to him longterm.
I just hope he completely recovers. Melo's still one of the players I enjoy watching the most. There are very few players more complete than him in the offensive end.
Tank-mode. They suck, they're going to suck more, and now they're going to shelf Carmelo to protect him. I think the back issue is likely legit, but they're already setting up the fans for tank mode.
