Rockets forward Carl Landry shot in leg, hand

HOUSTON Rockets forward Carl Landry was shot in the leg yesterday and is expected to miss between one and three weeks of play, the NBA team said.
Landry and a female passenger were driving southeast of downtown Houston about 2.30am yesterday (18.30 AEST) in Landry's sport utility vehicle when it was first sideswiped then struck by another car, Houston Police Department spokesman Kese Smith said.
Two men got out of the car and confronted Landry.
One of the men twice fired a gun at the 25-year-old basketball player, Mr Smith said.
Landry was briefly chased by the men, but they gave up. Landry's passenger was unhurt.
"Carl was treated and released at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center for a surface wound in his left calf and a dislocated finger on his left hand," Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey said.
"We expect him to make a full recovery and return in one to three weeks," he added.
Landry is in his second season with the Rockets and played in Monday's night win over the New Orleans Hornets.
Landry has averaged 9.3 points and five rebounds per game.

My meter is fine Lathum, but your timing and sense of humor perhaps need adjustment

Guess it's good they didn't do anything to the female companion he left behind...at least that's the implication in the story.

RendeR · 03-17-2009, 06:58 PM

Sounds to me like they knew who he was and that he had money and set up a mugging. Doubt they gave a shit who he was with.

SFL Cat · 03-17-2009, 07:00 PM

Or maybe he wouldn't sign an autograph...it's wide open for speculation, isn't it?!!

He is a pro athlete who was not sitting at home at 2:30am. Fair game.
