티맥 기자회견 내용

[Third Eye]

“Got and MRI this morning and kinda didn’t like what we saw.  

“Right now, I’ll get a second opinion and we’ll see what happens after that.

“It’s been there.   The thing is, rest, feel good and when you come back just regress.   My leg hasn’t gotten better since I had surgery.   The same injury is there.

“The thing is I’ve never really had any problems majorly with my body.   Pretty much my whole career I’ve been healthy. But this a bad time in my career to come up with this.”

Question:   Can this cost you the season?

“No.   I’m optimistic about it.   I can get some good news and get some bad news from different people.   So I’m confused.”

Question:   Will you have surgery?

“No.  I’m not even thinking about surgery right now.   Like I said, to me that will be the last option.   I’m gonna try to go through everything possible to try to avoid surgery.”

Question:   What did you mean they didn’t like what they saw?

“Well, it’s because it didn’t get any better prior to surgery and post-surgery.”

Question:   A year ago the test looked just the same as it does now?

“Yes.   For everybody that thought I’m playing with some bull(bleep) ass knee injury, my (bleep) is real.   It’s not just some pain.   I’ve got a real significant problem with my knee.   So everybody that was questioning my injury, it’s real.”

Question:   Did you see the statement the Rockets put out saying there’s been no change from the last MRI?

“Everything’s the same. That’s the problem.”

Question:   Did you feel any better after being out for the two weeks and coming back?

“Yes.   With rest, I feel better. But where’s that gonna get me?   It’s not fair to the guys to rest and come back and, what, five, six games later I’m feeling the same?

“I have to, for myself and for this team, I have to fix the problem to where I don’t have it no more.”

Question:   You said yesterday that you just didn’t feel confident on the missed dunk in Milwaukee.   Was it no confidence or did you feel pain?

“The last couple of games, I’ve regressed.   I’ve felt pain.   I’ve regressed.   That’s what it is.”

Question:   Will you see other doctors?

“Today, tomorrow, I’ll try to get as many answers as possible.”

Question:   Will you come back after the All-Star break?

“Playing?   I don’t know.   I don’t know. I’m just trying to get all the information I can to try to get back.”

Question:   Has anybody said you’re done for the year?

“Done for the year?   No."

일단 급한 김에 그대로 긁어왔습니다.

일단, 티맥은 수술을 받을 의사도 없고, 시즌아웃될 가능성도 배제하고 있네요. 이 정도면 그다지 심한 부상으로 보이지는 않는데요? 몇 주 쉬고 3월 쯤 복귀할 것 같은 느낌입니다.

무릎이 안좋은 건 사실이지만, 큰 문제가 있는 건 아니라네요. 수술을 선택하진 않을 거고, 다른 의사를 만나보면서 가능한한 다른 해결책을 찾아볼 거랍니다. 일단 시즌 아웃은 아니라네요.

감사합니다. 결국 확실한 답은 없군요. 티맥이 자꾸 이랬다 저랬다 하는 건 맘에 안 드네요. 덩크 후에는 자신감을 되찾았다, 이젠 고통도 없다. 이제 와서 저런 말은 정말... 팬들 들었다 놓았다 하는 건 잘하네요. 일단은 돌아오지 말고 수술도 하지 말고 재활로서 옛 능력을 찾으려 노력했으면 합니다.

9번째 질문에 대답을 봐서는..어쩌면 티맥이 말바꾸기를 할 가능성도 있지 않을까요..
