Well, this pretty much washes up Shaun Livingston from ever being a factor in Fantasy Basketball again. For those of you who don’t know, Shaun recently had an MRI that told him that he tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, meniscus, and had other various knee problems. They said he could be back within 10 - 12 months.

I’m currently recovering from repairing my ACL and fixing up my meniscus, and my doctor said it will take a year (worst case) to be fully functional on mine. (Obviously I’ll be able to do regular stuff much sooner than that).

I can’t imagine him playing before October 2008 for the 2008-2009 season. And that assumes that he will really be ready to go ever. Knee injuries are terrible to recover from. This one sounds like the worse sports-related knee injury that I have ever heard of.

I think his rookie contract will be long gone by then, and I’m not sure that the Clippers will want to continue to give him extensions for a knee injury that he may not ever recover from.

I’m sure someone will pick him up for minimum money, and he’ll get a chance to start for a bad team, but I’m predicting that his being picked up in Fantasy Basketball circles is over. He wasn’t picked him much this year as a starter because Sam Cassell kept stealing his minutes, and with this injury, he may be done.
