ATLANTA: There was a large, dark red and blue bruise and swelling on the top of Anderson Varejao's left knee as his left foot rested in a bucket of ice in the locker room after the game Wednesday night.
But the Cavaliers' frantic forward was smiling despite a 90-81 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. After what looked like a very scary fall in the fourth quarter, the initial diagnosis is that Varejao avoided what could've been an extremely serious injury to his left leg.
Doctors at Philips Arena put Varejao through a battery of tests. They declared his knee to be fine, save for the bruise. There is a little more concern about his Achilles tendon, but the doctors told Varejao that they didn't believe that it was serious and termed it a sprain.
He will likely have an MRI done today at the Cleveland Clinic to confirm the extent of the injury.
''I want to think positive; I think I will be fine,'' Varejao said. ''My knee is perfect and I hope the Achilles will be perfect.''

We are so dependent on Boobie and AV off the bench. Our D with Gooden just collapsed last night after AV got hurt. We probably would have won that with AV in there since he actually knows to rotate

Thank god. That had me VERY worried when it happened.

Secretly we all know he is worth as much or more than he was demanding this summer. I think he's show enough offensively to become the full-time starting power forward for us, honestly.

maybe we'll get lucky one day and see both boobie and AV rotated into the starting lineup

I'd have to agree. AV wasn't worth $8MM on the open market for what he had done so far, but for what he means to OUR team, he basically is invaluable..
