Injury Report: Drew Doughty

[HookKing]

Also, this:

Jon Rosen ‏@lakingsinsider 28m
Doughty still with the team. Did not see a doctor in Vancouver this morning. Team is guardedly optimistic that the injury is not long term.

Huh? So the team is just hoping it isn't a long term injury and he isn't seeing a doctor but Sutter might play him anyway in a meaningless game? What is this some kind of Obamacare thing?

Teams have doctors on staff.

maybe a bad bruise or a pulled muscle. wouldn't be surprised to see him scratched tomorrow.

You are probably right. It might just be a deep "Fat Tissue" bruised that Doughty is suffering after that hit.

I must have missed out on something, but why are there so many "Doughty is fat" posts lately? Hell we had a thread last week.

But that one was started by some clown who got pasted soon enough by the mods here.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Doughty is a healthy...er, injury scratch tonight.

 

[triplcrown]

Good thing Doughty didn't hurt his updock.

Doughty (upper-body) practiced with the Kings this morning.

Doughty missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, but could be back in the lineup on Wednesday. He is listed as day-to-day, and he could be held out on Wednesday to rest prior to the post-season.

I'd rest him one more game just to be safe.

Anyone think Doughty keeps extra weight on to help match up with and play in the corners with larger forwards?

Has Doughty listed at 6'1" and 213. That isn't exactly huge.

Doughty Scratched for tonight's game

Doughty will be on the shelf tonight again.

Doughty: I'm ready to go whenever

However...

...the article seems to still say its up to the team's doctors.

Also, doesn't give the Anaheim game a likely shot for his return.

We shall see...

 

[kingsfan]

If he's not back for Anaheim, then I worry. I can't see Doughty wanting to take off that much time and I can't see DS not wanting to get Doughty at least one game in before the playoffs start.

Its a meaningless game for the Kings, its not like he has been out for a month..
Don't see him getting that rusty that he needs a tune up game.

I'm sure he and the coaching staff would like to know how his injury takes a few body checks before the playoffs

 

[Ron*]

His moves in the Coyotes game on April 2 were just unbelievable. Talk about a guy just priming himself for the playoffs...

...I don't care if he plays against Anaheim or not. I think two weeks rest is just what the doctor ordered.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Yeah, no sense in having him play against the dux. I'll gladly take Doughty with the extra days rest, even if it means he may be a bit rusty.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Why start anyone?

pull the old switcharoo bring up manchester.

So, Kings fans, what's the story with Doughty and his injury? Can I take him in my playoff draft tonight or what?

We know that he is currently dealing with an inju.

Yes, management has gotten so vague that they won't even finish the word for us. Quite frankly, we have been told nothing.

(but yes, draft him, we all suspect despite lack of tangible evidence that he will miss few to no playoff games)

he will play but if he will be an effective point producer is yet to be seen. I would only take him with a later pick if it's a draft style.

Don't pick him for points, Drew is not Yandle or Keith.

I wouldn't pick Doughty in the regular season.

Playoffs or Olympics? Yes please.
