The freak injury to 76ers forward Shavlik Randolph

By David
Kaye

Former Duke star and current Philadelphia 76er Shavlik Randolph fractured and dislocated his left ankle this past Wednesday. After under going immediate surgery the time table for his return does not look emanate. Even though Shavlik is not a key player on the sixers team, he brings toughness, energy and great rebounding ability to the floor every night.

NBA superstar and fellow 76er Allen Iverson has been very vocal over his displeasure of practice. He stated in a May 2002 press conference that "We talkin' bout practice, not the game, we talkin' bout practice". It's ironic that his teammate Shavlik Randolph suffered such a significant injury in practice and maybe Iverson was up to something with his comments.
