So That’s Why DeShawn Stevenson Sucks This Year

by JC on January 2, 2009


He’s been injured. Since training camp.

-Wiz G DeShawn Stevenson is out with a lower back issue that he said has been bothering him since training camp. Steveonson said an x-ray revealed a disk problem that in turn is causing him problems with his legs.

As someone who has had disc problems in the lower back and resulting surgery, I can tell you that prior to the surgery “problems with your legs” usually means you can’t feel them. Bulging discs that press against nerves pretty much put you out.

Forget lifting, running or jumping, you pretty much can’t sneeze or sleep without extreme discomfort.

To that point, it would’ve been nice if the Wizards let everybody know that the guy was trying to play through back problems. That would’ve saved him a lot of scorn in blogs and in the papers, and we probably would’ve lauded his heart for a couple of weeks knowing that he couldn’t feel his face or his legs.

Speedy recovery to the Locksmith.
