1 Month Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot) will not return this season. Gortat was hoping to make a one-game cameo, but his conditioning simply isn't there and he doesn't have enough practice time to get right before the regular season finale. | 1 Month Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat, who would like to come back and play in one more game for the Suns, will not suit up on Monday night due to conditioning issues. Maybe he'll play in Wednesday's finale, but he hasn't played since March 6 due to a foot injury, so we're not expecting much if he does make an appearance on Wednesday. | 1 Month Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot), who is hoping to make a one-game cameo before the season ends, is not a lock to play again this season. "I'm coming back fast. I just need a little more time," he said. "I need to get in basketball shape. My jumper is so messed up. I don't have a feel for the ball much. I'll be back. I don't know if it's this year or next year." Even if he does return for one game, it will be for limited minutes and he's not an option for fantasy owners. | 1 Month Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot) shot Thursday without a walking boot and hopes to return for a one-game cameo before the end of the season. Gortat has said he needs to learn how to walk again, so we're a little skeptical of him being able to return to actual game action with just seven games left on Phoenix's schedule A cameo, on the other hand, seems more feasible, although also doesn't appear very practical or useful. Whether he does appear in a game or not, Gortat is, for all intents and purposes, done for the season. | 2 Months Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot) is going to have his walking boot removed at the end of the week and hopes to play in the final two or three games of the season. Gortat was previously deemed doubtful to return this season just a few days ago, so this is a mild surprise. However, Gortat said he's "just trying to learn to walk again because it's difficult to put that foot on the ground," so he's got a ways to go before he's cleared to return to action this season. It's still possible he won't make enough progress to get back on the floor. | 2 Months Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot) is still in a walking boot and is doubtful to play again this season. This isn't a huge surprise as this was the popular assumption, and although Gortat was optimsitic he'd be able to return, Lindsey Hunter squashed that notion. Without him, Luis Scola, Jermaine O'Neal and Hamed Haddadi will spend time inside. | 2 Months Phoenix Suns Marcin Gortat (foot) is still in a walking boot, but he's ditched the cast that was protecting his injury. Gortat was supposed to get the cast off on Monday, "but he took matters into his own hands on Sunday and cut it off himself." Maybe Gortat is eager to get back to action, or maybe he just couldn't deal with the cast anymore. Either way, it's good to hear he's cast-free, but he's still got several hurdles to clear before he has a realistic chance of playing again this year. | |
