Q: "When you hurt yourself with the France team last summer, we talked a month or a month and a half away. Now it's January and you ~~do not always play~~ have not played yet. Was there a misdiagnosis?"

Rodrigue Beaubois: "The France national team told me 'a month and a half'. But Dallas then it made me realize that this type of injury (fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot) required two or three months off. Then it was completely healed, [we] no longer saw the wound on the radio, but when doing an exercise, a small crack reappeared. The second injury takes longer to heal so it's annoying, but that's life."

Q: "How did you hurt yourself at the France NT?"
Roddy: " In fact, I felt a pain in the early summer, but I did not know what it was. It disappears and it came back, so I kept playing it. I did not feel pain recurring, but it came and went. I should('ve) worried about it a little more. And during a workout, I do a sprint and change direction and it was too bad. A big pain, I never had pain like that."

Basketnews.net's Pascal Giberne interviewed Rodrigue Beaubois. Roddy basically validates what everybody expected and some more. There's other good stuff in the interview as well (click on contents for the iview) Keep in mind that it's a ggl translation, but still, the message is clear.

so it seems to have all started with the injury that he had early on in the summer league.

iirc

that was bumping knees (left knee) and called left knee contusion.
I’m not sure if that relates to breaking a non-weightbearing bone in your foot later, but contrary to infamous reports, i’m not a doctor.
The interesting quote in that fanhouse-link is

“I just bumped knee to knee,” he told reporters, speaking with a bag of ice taped to his knee. “I had a previous injury [there], so it just hurt. But it’s not bad, it’s not bad.”

Find out what that previous one was, maybe that’s related, maybe not.

I thought I remember him rolling his ankle which is often associated with the fifth metatarsal, but I musta misremembered

I wonder

if Cuban/Donnie are going to get on to him for leaking the re-break information. They seemed to have been holding that pretty close to the vest.

You have to think other teams are going to be very interested in this interview..

i mean it was basically an open secret

he had the boot off, was running and planting and cutting and then had the boot back on, bam. Your guess why is as good as mine….

However, this illustrates how overprotective teams are with injury informations.
It’s a business, after all.
Remember what the Celtics said of KG’s knees 2 yrs ago?
Also, if they would’ve said that he re-broke it, his [potential] tradevalue [for, say, Melo or any other kind of sup-star] would’ve dropped a little harder because the public is quick to dish out the label “injury-prone” when you injure the same thing twice.

As for any repercussions, i feel like they’ll let it slide and subside…dependent on ~~the closeness~~ his timetable.

Roddy will also be pretty out of shape [when he returns], so enthusiasm be slow.
We’ll be all a little smarter in a month from now.
