Malone Hopes for Fast Return
In 18 seasons, plus his first two months as a Laker, Malone had sat out 11 games, only six because of illness or injury. He didn't lose a game to injury in the '90s. And, yet, by the time he has sat out the next three — tonight's at Golden State, Thursday's against Houston and Sunday's against Boston — he will have sat out four of his first 28 Laker games, and four of the last nine.
He had never sat out more than two games in a season. The last time he sat out consecutive games was April 21 and 22, 1989, because of a sprained ankle.
What goes around comes around; injury will be remembered as the beginning of the end for the old man.
