“He’s always had something, where he did it for the last four or five years in Detroit, where every month he had to have it checked. He never had a condition, but we all have things we’re a candidate for, but it was never a condition that was risky, and unfortunately now it may be.”
“With Chris’ situation, we don’t know if he’s going to come back or not, and the (trade) deadline is coming up (Thursday),” the coach said. “The quicker we find that out helps out, but we need another (big man) regardless. But I don’t think there’s a lot of teams lining up to help us.”
Rivers said Wilcox will be further checked out next week, perhaps at the Cleveland Clinic, the same place where Green had his surgery.
“Not much I can say,” Rivers said. “They have a bunch of tests to run, and that’s what it is. Team-wise it’s a helluva blow for us. That’s how you have to look at it.” Herald
What is up with the Celtics and heart problems, Len Bias, Reggie Lewis, Jeff Green and now Chris Wilcox.
Wilcox needs to do what's best for him for sustaining life, but this could be a death blow for the Celtics if Wilcox misses the rest of the season. We saw yesterday against the Lakers, size kills the Celtics. If Chris Wilcox plays yesterday, I think the game would have been different.
With Jermaine O'Neal out for god knows how long, and Wilcox out, the Celtics have no bigs other than KG and Greg Steimsma. This will be a tough injury for the Celtics to gut out.
