New Wolves center Jason Collins is expected to miss eight weeks after undergoing surgery on a triceps tendon in his elbow on Monday in California. He was injured in what a team spokesman called a "freak" accident that occured when his golf cart skidded on wet ground and tipped over. If he's sidelined for exactly eight weeks, Collins, acquired from Memphis in the draft-night Love-for-O.J. Mayo deal, would miss all of training camp and the regular season's first week.

i don't think golf carts are made for seven footers tryin' to dip around corners quick...

Why is this even a topic? They make it seem like he's still bmoc in Stanford.

Jason, don't mess with sasquatch! Freak accidents like yours tend to happen...

You gotta be moving pretty fast to flip over a golf cart.

Nice fekking driving there niwit...............

And this is news because............................Last time I checked he was a towel boy errrr bench warmer

September 13, 2008  02:46 PM ET

He is still in the NBA so he has to live the life that comes with it... Anything can happen but I don't know why this is such a big deal cos he is not part of the rotation anyway... I thought he retired or something...

Apparently, golf cart driving skills were not covered at this year's rookie symposium.......

September 13, 2008  03:03 PM ET

Oh wait, he's not a rookie - I hope they cover that next year though, I'd hate to see a rash of NBA golf cart driving incidents...

Jason Collins is a pro-golfer not a basketball player? He must know how to drive his funny car. **** Him.
