GamerGuy Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Lakers reserve forward Matt Barnes suffered a tear of the lateral meniscus of his right knee in the first half of Friday evening’s game against New Orleans and will need surgery. http://blog.lakers.com/lakers/2011/01/08/barnes-suffers-tear-of-lateral-meniscus/ Great. Juuuuuuuuust great. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ouch this hurts. A tear of the lateral meniscus takes him out for the year right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Wow, this sucks. He provided some solid minutes in relief of Artest. It's time for Ebanks to step up, the last thing any Laker fan wants to see is Luke Walton getting extended playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STL10 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have torn my lateral meniscus before, I was out for 2 months and I came back stronger. Good luck to him though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 That's a really, really tough loss for the Lakers, especially with Artest's suckage and the trade of Sasha. I really, really think the Lakers should make a trade for a SF, whether it be a major trade which would land them a new starter, or something like trading a pick to get a guy like T-Mac.

htownborn Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Damn that does suck its time to make a trade happen. Either that or put your faith in Devin Ebanks off of the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The Lakers will likely be without Matt Barnes for eight weeks after he was surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn lateral meniscus on his right knee. Barnes provided the timetable, as the Lakers won't release one until after the surgery. He suffered the injury after landing off-balance while pursuing a rebound Friday against New Orleans http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/71061/20110110/matt_barnes_out_eight_weeks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
