    No footage of the injury actually happening in game, but DMo was seen guiltily stuffing a hammer in his kit bag in the locker room. 5 minutes later he was overheard on his cell phone to BJ muttering about his rights.

    Would they have waived T-Jones had Casspi's injury occurred 24 hours earlier?

    What's truly weird is that Casspi played limited minutes lately in SAC due to a phantom injury. And then after getting miraculously healthy for his pels debut, he now suffered an actual injury.

    Tough luck

    Though as long as the pels guard play is trash, i expect Casspi to have a a solid opportunity

    That sucks. Casspi is one of their better player off the bench and in fact could even eat into minutes of that Salmon dude who has a 4 yr $48MM contract

    How'd it happen? Must have been a freak thing, because Casspri's pretty sturdy.

    Swiped at Gordon, going for a steal apparently. You get a bit overexcited, first game for a new team. It happens.

    Pels just waived him. Way to kick a man while he's down!

    Well, waiving now lets him sign with another team for the playoffs. He doesn't lose any money.

    He got cut because he got injured and Pels can use that spot for someone else. Pels did him a favor actually. He can recover and sign with another team in time for the playoffs.
