Ouch. The only concern here is that Andre Drummond get 100% healthy this summer but what a shitty end to his fun rookie season. If Joe Dumars tries to make a panic move to replace Andre with another big and push for the playoffs he should be fired immediately.

Broken tailbone. He’s expected to be out 4-6 weeks.

Well its not like we’re in playoff contention, Drummond has played great thus far, might as well give the kid a break. We’re not going anywhere. I’d rather sit him for a month then risk aggravating an injury. I don’t mind him sitting out either, gives us an extended look at Slava and whether he was worth that contract and what exactly it is that made Joe D give it to him.

Drummond said the pain is near his tailbone. If that’s the case, this is a different type of injury. The lumbar vertebrae is normally where athletes and people in general feel pain, herniate disks, and develop arthritis. I’m guessing his injury is not a “back injury” at all and it’s probably unrelated to basketball.
