Has anyone heard any updates?

He's been one of my favorite players. I did a report on him in one of my college classes as a freshman when he was in his 2nd year with the Warriors.

I remember going to sleep after hearing Sean Taylor (Redskins safety) was shot and then woke up to hear that he didn't make it. I don't want this to happen wit Pietrus.

Just found this posted a few minutes ago:

The Boston Celtics offered encouraging news on the health of Mickael Pietrus late Friday night noting he would not be admitted to a Philadelphia-area hospital, instead he'll simply undergo further testing, remain in the area overnight, and be reevaluated on Saturday.

Pietrus suffered what is officially being dubbed a questionable closed head injury (concussion) during Friday's loss to the 76ers at Wells Fargo Arena. After being taken by ambulance to an area hospital, Pietrus underwent an x-Ray, CT scan, and was scheduled for an MRI.

I read something about it being type of injury where brain slams into inside of the scull... I do not know what is better, but if it's not a neck injury, that's encouring, right...

I'm glad as well. I'm not a fan of the guy, but I never wish any harm to any human, so I'm glad he is going to be okay.

Apparently he suffered a concussion, and feels ready to get back on the court but first has to be tested due to the NBA's new concussion rules. THere is no timetable for his return but i would'nt be surprised if he came back within a week. Such a horredous injury for such a nice guy

[maybeshewill13]

He should really have AT LEAST a week off for a concussion of that severity.

In Australia's main sport if players go off with concussion it's mandatory they miss the next week, which I think is good. It's not worth risking the health of players, especially with head injuries.
