Delfino Heads Home

Carlos Delfino has gone home to Argentina for a second opinion on his knee. While he was there they did a quick exploration inside the knee, and found no damage to the ligaments or cartilage.

The next stop for Delfino will be back in Detroit where he will resume his rehab. Delfino had the same procedure here in the states, but being in a new country, he felt more at peace with another opinion from his hometown doctor.

Delfino was averaging 5.2 points per game in the 13 games he played in. He will be evaluated when he returns, and hopes to be practicing soon. Delfino is an important part of the bench. At 6-6, Delfino gives the Pistons a backup at SG and an option at the Forward position.

I think that he probably should go home and see the doctors he trusts, that would be good for him. If he is uncertain of his knee then it should be checked out by someone he knows better for that second opinion.

I also heard the "waiver" part of the Elden deal on the radio. If that could work out, just like they did with Lindsey last year, then it is a perfect trade.

I responded to your comment on my site the best I could. I didn't mean to offend you about hockey, sorry if I did. Later - T.S.D.

Agreed. To him, this is a strange country, and people are speaking a different language. Getting the same diagnosis there will help him feel more comfortable next time.
