The Internets are alive: Ellis out 3 months with ankle sprain
Ball Don't Lie —
... back until at least the start of December meaning he misses the first month of the season and training camp. If he misses more than that, we may not seem him back on the court until January 2009. And we may not see him fully healthy until next season. With that beginning schedule loaded with road games and without our #1 scoring option for up to a 1/3 of the season, you can kiss the playoffs goodbye. Hanging around .500 without Monta? I'll pray, but it's doubtful." Tim Kawakami, Talking Points: "Before Monta Ellis' shattering ankle ...

... Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News: "Now that Ellis is gone, probably until January or February, I would NOT say that it should be no-holds-barred for Shaun Livingston. Hey, he's not likely to be ready, either, for the start of the season and it gets a little dicey when you have TWO young point guards with shaky knee/ankle situations.

The Curious Case of Shaun Livingston
sportingnews.com 8/28/2008 — Shaun Livington was a basketball dream -- before his traumatic injury, at least. Now, he's not just damaged goods; Livingston, while working his way back to respectability, still makes people vaguely queasy, like walking past a corner where you once got mugged. Thus, he's had some trouble securing a roster spot for 2008-09. Sure, there's the calculated risk of his recovery, but honestly, dude ...

myespn.go.com 8/28/2008 — I know, I know, this is not any time for a first cup of coffee. Still wrestling technical issues. Cam Inman of the Contra Costa Times: "Guard Monta Ellis is hurt. Ankle surgery will shelve him for at least three months, but likely four or more, and only Chuck Taylor himself knows how this impacts Ellis' long-term hop-ability.
