Basketball News & NBA Rumors

There are conflicting reports about a knee injury suffered by Cavaliers forward Omri Casspi during training with the Israeli basketball team. Because of the NBA lockout, the Cavaliers cannot contact Casspi or comment on the reports.

According to eurobasket.com, Casspi, the first Israeli-born player in the NBA, slipped during practice on Wednesday, will have physical therapy for two weeks and is questionable for the EuroBasket championships in Lithuania.

However, a source close to Casspi said the injury was minor and the player was fine. A call to Casspi’s agent, Steve Heumann, was not returned.
