New Zealand's star point guard Cedric Jackson has sustained an injury at training heading into game 2 of the semi finals series against the Townsville Crocodiles. NBL.com.au stated "Jackson reportedly took a bump from centre Alex Pledger on a drive to the hoop and appeared to land awkwardly on the left ankle that has given him problems all year." The injury looks to be serious as Cedric Jackson was reportedly writhing in agony and had to be carried from the court and was taken immediately to the hospital.
Andrej Lemanis was seemingly not upset about the injury and stated that Cedric would travel with the squad and depending on the outcome from the hospital whether he would play.We'll find out won't we," Lemanis said. "It didn't look good when he went down but Mika (Vukona) didn't look good last year either when he went down. So we'll see.
"You travel him, and if he's any chance of playing you make a decision five minutes before the game."
I hope there not trying to do some ploy to make Townsville unprepared for the match up and his not really injured. That would be a sad show for the Breakers.
But hopefully its not a serious injury and we'll see Cedric Jackson back on the court to finish off the series and maybe the finals. He's a very talented player and it will have a big impact on how the breakers play there next game, but having a backup point guard like CJ Bruton they are still a very talented team and i think can still take it to a third game.
