    Is it weird that I'm more worried about Grayson's injury than Giles's knee tune-up?

    It is weird, yeah--to this guy, at least. I don't even think it's weird because of some hidden it's-worse-than-they're-leading-on kind of pessimism*. It's just that Giles is likely to miss six weeks for a commonplace scope, and Grayson may have nothing more than a sore muscle.

    K said today that they (coaching staff, training team) were just resting Grayson, because his style of play dictates that they need to give him rest sometimes. If you take that at face value, it sounds essentially like a veteran day off. Of course, you may not take what's said at a coach's presser at face value, and I wouldn't blame you.

    * Not to mention the add'l missed time for Giles learning the system, especially the defensive system.

    As you mentioned, Duke had a Media Day this afternoon. Coach K had a presser and then the players were made available to the media.

    According to Grayson via ABC11 sports anchor Joe Mazur, it's a hamstring.

    Greyson [sic] Allen has been out "about a week" nursing a hamstring. Plan is to give him breaks throughout the year

    That WaDuke burger may set rehab back a few days...

    Well given that Grayson is a proven leading scorer, the likely best ball handler and has a tendency to throw his body around- no.

    Ugh . . . now there's a Grayson injury? Does anyone know the severity? If they think it will linger throughout the year, that worries me quite a bit. Bad hamstring injuries are no joke

    I think the implication is that it's very minor. Grayson was not a fan of sitting out these practices.

    Actually no. Grayson is fine. He may or may not be nursing a minor injury, but nothing to lose sleep over.

    Supposedly the staff is intentionally resting him on certain practice days to save his body for the regular season. As K put it "We already know what Grayson can do on the court"...

    You can relax...

    Especially ones caused by the semitendinosus muscle, which kind of have a tendency to linger(sorry for the pun but it's a slow day so far on EK).

    More info on Giles's knee and progress

    Dana O'Neil with an update: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...l-start-season

    Supposed to be about Tatum, but it turned into a Giles piece. Bottomline, Giles isn't engaging in contact but focusing on elastic bands. Nice.

    Can never be too focused on elastic band work.

    Does that make Giles a stretch 4?
