Mike Piétrus blessé!
22 Novembre 2005
Gros coup dur pour Mickael Piétrus puisqu´il s´est tordu le genou face aux Nets. Et selon lui, son indisponibilité pourrait être d´un mois et demi.
"Les radios ne sont pas alarmantes. Je repasse des tests mardi. Je pense que je vais en avoir pour six semaines. Ce n´est pas hyper grave. Ce n´est pas une indisponibilité d´un an. Je n´ai 23 ans. Je suis encore un gamin. A mon âge, on récupère vite..." a déclaré le Français en quittant la salle d´Oakland avec des béquilles.
Rappelons que le sixième homme des Warriors tourne cette saison à 10.5 pts de moyenne, avec un temps de jeu de 22 minutes par match.
