I don't think it's good for the league,
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
I got us off to a bad start from the beginning of the game. The magnitude of the game and being in so many games like that, for me to be the one to act like I had never been in a game like that is unacceptable. I fully take responsibility for this one.
I don't have a problem with it. I'll do it for the rest of the season.
Obviously, it's bad if I couldn't return. I'll just get the MRI and see what it really is... I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't go. It's real swollen and sore.
