This is part of the NBA. Every injury in this game is quite shocking, especially when it involves someone as special as he is. We&rsquo;ll know more tomorrow. We&rsquo;ll move forward as a team. Honestly, right now I&rsquo;m most concerned about him as a person and the disappointment that comes with these things,&rdquo; Adelman said.&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t get definitive answers right after situations like this. I know he&rsquo;s an incredibly special player and people want information as soon as possible, and I completely understand that. But we&rsquo;ll go through the whole process properly, for his sake and for the team,&rdquo; Adelman added.
