With a season, and potentially a coaching tenure, on the line, Mike Woodson could not have been happy to lose his leading scorer and one of his most proven veterans in Malik Reneau. It would not be the first time in recent years that Indiana has lost a key player to a long-term injury.
The good news is that Reneau’s injury doesn’t appear to be serious. He sat out today, but the broadcast crew mentioned that Woodson does not believe Reneau will miss a big chunk of the season.
The less good news is that a lot of things have worked better for Indiana with Reneau missing some time.
