Crazy. How can they miss this for 18month? no single blood test in 18month?
I thought pro athlets have tons of medical checks and blood tests.

McGee on a diet where they make him eat at least one steak a week. Poor guy.

Not sure a regular blood test would check iron levels. You'd have to specifically test for it. With an injury not sure it would come across the radar. Could be wrong

Carlisle on Parsons: "Everybody wants a nice cooked steak, but nobody wants to see you chopping up the cows in the back. The last five or six months, Parsons has been in the back butchering the cows -- that's the kind of work he's had to do."

Parsons had a nice game. I'm especially encouraged by the assists and rebounding numbers. That is about the strongest quote I've heard from Carlisle about a player, and I'm glad that that's how RC feels about Parsons. It gives me hope that Chandler is going to get back to where he was or better since he's been putting in the work.
