Ford on IR

[SweetD]

Do to Penney being activated the Suns placed Ford on the IR with Back Spasms. I don't think this got posted with the Hardway news. Who will go next? When Jake comes back. Do you put Casey or Dan L. ??? I would have to go with Casey right now.???

 

[JS22]

Either Casey or Brown.

 

[SweetD]

I forgot about Brown. It will be Brown that is why we have not seen him and a few games.

 

[Joe Mama]

This is a nice problem to have. My guess is that Randy Brown will go on the IL when Jake returns.

so you think brown will get a sudden case of "back spasms" ??

 

[Chaplin]

Penny's return makes Brown the most likely candidate--in fact, I was surprised it wasn't Brown who went on when Penny came back.

Im not really surprised that it was Ford. He hasnt seen the court in forever anyways.

I just wish ONCE that he would get atleast 30 minutes. Id like to see his numbers. Im not one of the seemingly millions of Ford supporters but Id like to see what he can do in a game situation just once.

Well, you can start with 15 fouls.

It seems to me that Ford is someone who could really benefit from the developmental league. I don't understand why the Suns keep hanging onto him when they obviously don't want to develop him themselves.

Ah, wait, it happened once. March 16, 2002, at Charlotte. The Suns lost 87-76.

Ford scored 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-6 FT), and had five rebounds, four fouls, and three turnovers. His career highs are 14 points (vs. Detroit, March 21, 2002) and 10 rebounds (vs. Golden State, February 1, 2002).
