Jorge Garbajosa Might Be Done, Spanish-Canadian War Forthcoming - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog
Can Toronto seek out the insurance payment if Garbajosa misses the year? Their argument: If he’d stayed off the leg during the summer and had the second surgery we requested, he wouldn’t be hurt again. The insurer’s likely counter: He didn’t get hurt again during FIBA Europe, he got hurt during the NBA season. Who knows whether Toronto would pursue this avenue to recoup the $4 million due Jorge this year; and hey, it might not get that far if Garbajosa’s OK. But this could be a disastrous case going forward for international players seeking their team’s permission to play abroad in the summer.
