Admin Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_10398517?source=rss Warriors' Ellis admits he lied about injury The saga surrounding the left ankle of Warriors guard Monta Ellis has taken a step toward a conclusion. The Contra Costa Times has learned that Ellis has admitted to the Warriors that he wasn't truthful about how he hurt his ankle, and the two sides are in talks about how to put the situation behind them. According to a team source, the Warriors now know that Ellis' ankle injury _ which was repaired during surgery on Aug. 27 _ was not sustained "in a gym," and "it happened out doors and not while playing basketball." The source did not reveal what Ellis told Warriors management he was doing when he got hurt, only that he "was scared to tell the truth at first," but eventually did. At first, Ellis told the team he was working out in Jackson, Miss., when he injured his ankle on Aug. 21, tearing a deltoid ligament and suffering a severe high ankle sprain. But he has been in regular communication with Chris Mullin, the executive vice president of basketball operations, with whom Ellis has a close relationship. The team can fine and/or suspend Ellis if he injured his ankle by participating in a prohibited activity, such as motorcycle riding or snowboarding. Should he somehow not be able to play again, the Warriors could terminate the six-year, $66 million contract they signed Ellis to in July. Ellis will be out for a minimum of three months.

It's sad to see him risk his career over something stupid. I would guess that it was water skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Coleman tore up his knee doing that same thing a few years ago. Trey Lewis with the Falcons retore his ACL walking down the steps. Freak accidents happen all the time.
