In his first-ever playoff game, Golden State Warriors star power forward David Lee fell victim to the NBA playoff damage insect on Saturday afternoon. After a hard spill attacking the container in the last quarter of Golden State's Game 1 series with the Denver Nuggets, Lee stepped gingerly off the court and needed to be evaluated by group doctors on the bench. The team's Twitter consideration had an initial post to report things were serious: It then revealed this tweet to verify that Lee the examination was a right hip flexor strain and that he'd not go back to action as the Warriors failed to support a fourth-quarter comeback: Lee had 10 points and 14 rebounds in 29 minutes before making the game, which Golden State could drop in tragic fashion after Andre Miller's game-winning layup with only 1.3 seconds to play. Going for a move from Stephen Curry after a large screen in the last, Lee attacked the color hard, drawing a foul and getting a trip to the free-throw line in the process. But, he landed awkwardly on his right knee, and it looks as if he says when falling to the floor he heard a pop if you look closely at the movie. If X-rays do keep coming back and force Lee to miss significant time in any one of Golden State's next three games, it may spell trouble for the Warriors' already bad playoff odds. Therefore eager to show herself as a consistent producer on a good team, Lee has enjoyed his best-ever time through the 2012-13 campaign. While his numbers (18.5 factors, 11.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 51.9 % firing) are right around job earnings, his team is in the postseasona'making annually where Lee made the All-Star team for the initial time better still. The final chapter on this damage has not yet been written, but if it involves Lee missing the rest of this postseason it'd be described as a sad end to an otherwise good strategy for starters of the NBA's most underrated power forwards.
