Lower back pain sidelines Milicic

Magic power forward Darko Milicic missed his first game of the season Wednesday night, complaining of lower back pain.
Milicic, 21, was laboring through portions of Monday night's road game at Charlotte, N.C., and was trying to stretch out after the shootaround.
Averaging 8.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.78 blocks per game, Milicic replaced Tony Battie in the starting lineup after Battie fractured his right thumb Feb. 6.

Milicic, 21, was laboring
I've been saying for years that I think European basketballers are soft. Nowitzki took it up a notch a bit last year, but ran into the Dwanye Wade Free Throw Shooting Marathon.
The only one I might take if I was building a team is Genobli, but I'd have to tell him to stop acting like a soccer player all the time, otherwise I'd line up the other twelve players on my team to kick him in the junk (I'd probably do that anyway).
Milicic, fuck him. He sucks.
Stop me if this sounds familiar.
"He has to be somewhere where he’s going to be allowed to do what he can do."
LMMFAO!!
Also, he's "injured" and will possibly miss the playoffs.Quote:
Here's an update on the Magic-Milicic contract situation I wrote before he got hurt:
While Magic General Manager Otis Smith doesn’t foresee a problem re-signing power forward Darko Milicic, Milicic’s agent said Tuesday that the biggest issue might not necessarily be financial.
Marc Cornstein, Milicic’s agent, says Milicic’s decision also depends on which teams will allow him to display more of his his shooting and passing skills. He has been used more as a post-up player with the Magic.
"I know Darko," agent Marc Cornstein said by phone from Philadelphia. "Wherever he winds up for his second contract, it has to be somewhere where he’s going to be allowed to do what he can do. That’s extremely important to him.
"I think that has to be part of the recruiting pitch. That, to me, is the key to this summer, to find somewhere where he is a central figure or can maximize his talents."
Milicic said he hasn’t played as well as he can, but also feels his skills could be utilized better.
"I still don’t think we’ve tapped into what Darko can do," Smith said. "He’s still learning how to play. He’s 21."
Cornstein hasn’t talked about Milicic’s contract status with Smith since October, but Cornstein said he’d "a little surprised" if Milicic isn’t re-signed.
So if he wants to play outside, he better find a team with a post up PF. Maybe someone like Brand, Gasol, etc on the team. Trouble is he's either going to have to take the MLE or play on a team that doesn't have that post player already.
DNP = Darko No Play
But he just vants to play.
Its really ridiculous how much of a Mehmet this kid has become. To think we had both those two on the same team. What a weird front line that would have been. Billups and Tay posting up on the low block and Memo and Darko floating to the elbows with Rip running all over the place.Quote:
