Austin Rivers Suffers Sprained Ankle
Hooped Up | October 27, 2012Even if he tried Austin Rivers couldn’t have sprained his right ankle for the second time in four days, more awkwardly.

There has been no word if Rivers will be available for the Hornets first game of the season, but if he is I expect him to play with a temporary robotic ankle.
