今天我要告诉大家一些坏消息。几天前在迎战纽约尼克斯时，我的队友洛瑞上篮时遭遇犯规，令他失去平衡，倒向人堆，我的左腿被他们撞了一下。尽管我的脚很快就恢复了，但膝盖扭了。我很快就感到一阵巨疼，随即倒地。这是我职业生涯最最恐怖的时刻，因为我知道膝盖有多脆弱。尽管膝盖受伤了，但我本能地爬起来继续比赛。队友阿里扎抢断后传球给我。我忍着膝盖的疼痛还是把球投了出去。就像我说的，这时候整个人完全被本能接管。我投篮不中后立刻抢下篮板，就在想把球传给队友乔丹-希尔之际，对手对我犯规了，我再次倒地。队友上前要拉我起来，我跟他们说“给我一分钟，我想看看膝盖是不是还在。”队友可能觉得我在开玩笑，因为我以前倒地后很快就能起来。有些人意识到我真的受伤了，因为他们发现我眼神中有一种从未见过的、异样的东西。我很害怕。接着我走上罚球线，第二罚没中，这让我很难过，因为在我们队中流传一种说法，如果你受伤时连罚球都罚不中，那说明你不够强悍，哈哈。接下来我对一名尼克斯队员犯规，很快就下场回到了休息室，等待队医对我进行检查。

我祈祷膝盖的每一根韧带都完好无损，没有一根断裂，不需要手术。一个医生走进来看了下我的膝盖，他认为我的膝盖没事儿，不过膝盖内侧的一根韧带拉伤了。我很高兴听到这个消息，尽管还需要接受核磁共振检查才能确诊。

第二天到了芝加哥，我接受了核磁共振检查，伤情得到了确诊，的确是内侧韧带拉伤。我真的觉得这是好消息。拉伤的情况很多时候都会自然康复，不需要接受手术，而手术是我最害怕的。我的膝盖依然很疼，但还好伤情没有更严重。

我可能将缺席2－4周。我很失望，因为我本赛季原本想打81场(之前曾缺席一场常规赛--注)，在受伤前我觉得身体状况非常好。我的缺阵将让巴丁格获得更多的上场时间和比赛经验。我将在替补席上学着做一名教练，支持我的球队，你必须随时调整自己的角色。我们还有13场比赛，我们必须要创造奇迹才能杀入季后赛。机会不在我们这一边，但你永远不知道联盟中会发生什么。

我很抱歉和大家分享这个坏消息，但没有风雨怎能见到彩虹？我很乐观，相信自己能够很快回到场上，相信这次受伤不会影响我的状态。

回见，

肖恩

I have some bad news to share with you today. While playing the New York Knicks a few days ago, my teammate Kyle Lowry drove to the hoop and was fouled and knocked off balance. He collided into a few Knicks players and the whole pile of players collided right into my left knee. Unfortunately, my foot was planted at the time and my knee bowed to the side. I immediately felt pain on the side of my knee and fell to the ground. It was one of the scariest moments of my career because I know how fragile knees can be. Although my knee hurt, I instinctively rose up and continued to play. Trevor Ariza, my teammate, stole the ball and passed it to me. Although I knew my knee was injured I still shot the ball. Like I said, instinct took over. I then followed my shot and got the rebound and passed to my teammate Jordan Hill, but before I could get the pass off, I was fouled and went to the ground again. When my teammates rushed over to help me up, I told them "Just give me a minute, I have to figure out if my knee was still in place." I think my teammates thought I was joking because I always bounce up when I go to the ground. Some of my teammates knew that I was injured because I had a look in my eye that they had not seen before. I was scared. I shot the free throws, I actually missed the second one which made me mad because its a running joke on our team that if you miss free throws when you are hurt, you must not be that tough, haha. I fouled one of the Knicks players and immediately ran off the court to the locker room where I waited for the team doctors to check me out.

I was praying and hoping that all of the ligaments in my knee were intact and that nothing was torn or needed surgery. When the doctor came in and examined my knee, he thought that my knee was stable, but I had sprained the MCL, which is the ligament on the inside of your knee. I was relieved to hear this news, although I wanted an MRI to confirm what the doctor thought.

In Chicago, the next day I had an MRI that confirmed that I indeed had sprained the MCL. I actually thought this was great news. Sprains heal themselves over time and do not require surgery, which was my biggest fear. My knee is still very sore, but it could have been much, much worse.

It looks like I will miss the next 2-4 weeks. I am disappointed that I became injured because I was looking forward to playing 81 games this year and I felt physically great before the knee injury. This will give the opportunity for Chase Budinger to play more and get more experience. I will do my best to be a coach on the sideline and support my team, you have to try to make the best of your situation. We have 13 games left and we need to have a great record to make a push for the playoffs. The odds are not in our favor, but you just never know what's going to happen in this league.

I am sorry I have to share bad news with you today, but without some rainy days, how can you appreciate the sunny ones? I am optimistic that I will return soon and have no long lasting effects of this injury.

Talk to you soon,
