This is more of an essay question, but seriously the Celts have been plagued in recent years. That's two bad injuries to Perk on his shoulder, two bad injuries of ankles to Al, a bad injury last year to Delonte, and an bad injury to Tony Allen which robbed him of a year. Oh yeah. And that Dickau thing. And Raef isn't eactly iron man. If Gerald Green, our draft pick, or Gomes get hurt we are officially cursed with injuries. At what point do you consider a player brittle and trade him? I say Perk has to go two years now without anything bad or I consider him fragile. Also one more lingering one for Al and I consider him fragile too. Delonte is tough in my book. The jury is out on Allen.

I don't think you can go by how many games they miss in one season because a player could get hurt on a fluke thing and miss half the season and then never get hurt again. I think they are injury prone when it happens time after time year after year. Bill Walton was injury prone.

Like Delonte said, he was never seriously injured in the past, but now finds himself having to prove that he isn't injury prone because of freak accidents that have occured to him over the past two years.
I'm sure Perk isn't injury prone. Its hard to injure a rock. But shoulder injuries are quite bothersome, much like back injuries. Once those tendons get loose, the only way to tighten them up again is to have surgery (no I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night).
Al's ankle injuries can happen to anyone, especially if you don't tape your ankles.
We've just run into some bad luck that's all.
