Initial Matt Knight assessment: no structural damage

Maybe if he stopped throwing himself (flopping)to the floor like so many other Perth players he wouldn't hurt his shoulder. For a big strong guy he sure gets knocked and has to slide along the court a lot.

Ooh that would be a careless error by the surgeon but it has been known to happen and yeah that could hurt

"Screws" is what the person from the Cats was quoted as saying. I don't know precisely what Matty has in there. Could be screws, pins, plates, who knows, I'm not his doctor.

Years ago

so the "screws" he has in his "shoulder" make it more "painful" when he takes a heavy "knock". Hence it can seem worse than it "is".
I hope he is cleared by the "medical" staff

Years ago

Pretty sure he is using quotation marks because he is quoting a term used in the actual article. C'mon it's not that hard to work out.

Years ago

Dazz did you put "screws" in quotes because they are fake screws and don't actually exist?

Years ago

he will probably play. I doubt he will let a fake injury keep him at home.

According to the Cats, the "screws" Matty has in that shoulder make it more painful when he takes a heavy knock. Hence it can seem worse than it is.

He has jet to be passed by the medical staff, but there's apparently a CHANCE he could play against the Hawks.

"For the last couple of years, every time knight takes a tumble and the cats are losing he grabs his shoulder and goes off the court only to return the following game."

So true. He continually fakes those injuries cos he's weak as piss!

Does the NBL have a 10 day/3 game contract equivalent?


I think the standard injury replacement contracts are around 7 or 8 game deals.

Interesting to see Bevo creating his new Martin/Knight duo in Illawarra with Norton and Kay.

It will be tough for the Cats to replace that duo like-for-like, but when the time comes they'll recruit quality players and build around their strengths.

'Pretty sure Knight will call it a day in 2019 when his contract runs out'

Gonna be hard for the Cats to find a decent Aussie replacement

Does the NBL have a 10 day/3 game contract equivalent? It just seems to make a lot of sense with the amount of injuries this year.

Years ago

I'll pay that.
I more meant that he was a soccer diver and has added plenty of mayo to minor bumps & niggles.

Hitting the deck a lot? Yes. Being injured a lot? For sure. Faking injuries though??? Nah I think you've missed the mark on that one.

Years ago

Matt Knight is famous for faking injuries.

In order for soccer style diving sooks.
1. Harris
2. Knight
3. Daylight

Anonymous #609356: you're correct, Walker can't be brought back in (did someone say reactivated?) unless it's for a season-ending injury. It looks like this won't be, which is great for Matty and for Perth.

@johnson, perhaps if you had a little more self-confidence and started your name with a capital letter, you wouldn't feel the need to shout your statements by using ALL CAPS. Then again, after rereading what you've posted, perhaps it's just that you don't understand grammar at all.

Thank God he is ok.....lots of ice packs meanwhile to cut any inflammation.

Lucas Walker can hang five for now.....we still prefer a slightly injured Matt.

Years ago

STOP SHOUTING AT ME!!!!!!

Years ago

Wildcats likely to reactivate Lucas Walker to replace Matty Knight according to Boti.

Years ago

I guess johnson wants his carrot back...
