Richaun Holmes Fractures His Elbow

Just incredibly disappointing.  Richaun Holmes was blocking a shot last night in the 3rd game of the NBA Summer League and he fell and broke his elbow.  He will miss 6-8 weeks.  This is heartbreaking.  He was playing well and the word was he was going to the Las Vegas Summer League.  I thought he was earning himself a roster slot or at least a d-league opportunity.  Not that those things are gone, but having an injury before you have completely proved yourself is a difficult position to be in.

The good news is that there is no one in a more developmental mode than Philly, so let's hope they keep looking at Richaun as someone they can develop as the franchise rebounds.  Even if he gets some more visibility, there's a chance of another team picking him up.

Wishing Richaun the best for a speedy recovery.  I am incredibly proud he was a Falcon, and I know that if he gets his shot he is going to continue to show the growth in his game that has been his hallmark.
