Harrington heading on? By Sekou Smith Tuesday, February 14, 2006, 03:50 PM Well, the games have officially begun. Expect the rumors and speculation about Al Harrington’s future with the Hawks to heat up considerably in the next week. Harrington, who is struggling with a nasty case of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, had an MRI on his knee and ankle here in LA Monday. He said he’s fine and that there is no cause for concern. But already the drama has kicked into high gear. Another NBA writer emailed me to let me know that he heard Harrington has a knee problem and that’s why he had it checked out. Not true. If a team is asking a guy to have his knee checked out, and he was asked by the Hawks to have the tests, I’d imagine that’s a precautionary measure to make sure he’ll pass a physical if they’re intending to move him. This of course, is just me doing my part to contribute to the rumor and speculation. And Hawks coach Mike Woodson would say only that Harrington was having the tests, not why. But it’s a logical assumption at this stage of the game. Harrington, however, assured me late Monday night that he’s fine. Stay tuned because with the Feb. 23 trade deadline fast approaching and all the NBA brass that’ll be in Houston this weekend for the All-Star festivities, I’d expect the real chatter between decision makers to heat up. That doesn’t mean anything will get done. But it’s worth keeping an eye on. 资料来源 http://0rz.net/5313Y --
