He's a slick guy . He could ahve used that as a cover up for the fracture . It could have been just as conceivable that FF had that micro fracture and they knew it . So give him 7 weeks off . FF did not run to form in the slop, a surface he relishes, in KD. He stunk in the Preakness . After those 2 duds they find a fracture . Very curious and imo it's time for Jones to go away for a while .
