Hornets coach Monty Williams lost his head over how the NBA is handling a head injury to Anthony Davis. The number one overall pick suffered a mild concussion last Friday and has been held out of two games, as per the league's protocol. "It's just that now you treat everybody like they have on white gloves and pink drawers," Williams whined. It sounds like Williams is the one with his New York Knickers in a twist. The league, with its white gloves, reached into Williams' bank account and removed $25K, on Tuesday.
Williams placed blame on the precautionary policies of the NFL pervading the NBA. One glitch in his gripe: there are no helmets in the association. Although cranium contact is less frequent in basketball, players are also less protected, so when it does occur, the collision isn't cushioned by any equipment. If Williams believes Davis should start before he's symptom-free, maybe he should be the one having his head examined.
