”He came to me and said, `My leg hurts; I`m not going,` ” trainer Mark Pfeil said.
With a strained and bruised Achilles` tendon, Hodges is questionable for Friday`s key game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
”We put him on the bike, in the whirlpool and on ice,” Pfeil said. ”I would hope he will just be out tonight, but we`ll have to see. He was in pain, but the first day of a sprain or strain is always the worst.”
– Hodges` absence gave John Paxson his 10th start of the year. ”One year I get 64 starts, another I get 10; it`s all the same to me,” Paxson said.
”Pax plays similarly to Craig,” coach Doug Collins noted. ”He`s got that long range.”
