Fab Melo suffers concussion from running into a hotel door

Fab Melo was recalled from Maine of the Development League, but it was to get treatment for a concussion he received when he ran into a hotel door. Melo missed the Red Claws’ Dec. 31 win over Springfield and is questionable for Friday’s game with Erie.

Melo said he still feels concussion symptoms and is unsure when he can return.

“I still have a little headache sometimes. I can only focus on things for a certain time,” he said.

Melo, a first-round pick from Syracuse, has been making headlines, blocking 23 shots over a two-game period, including a league-record 14 Dec. 22 against Erie. In 12 games, the 7-footer is averaging 10.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks.

– Reported by Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe

2102536, No surprise. Anyone who actually gets suspended by the SU B-ball

program is EXTREMELY dumb. I went there and saw suspension worthy acts being committed in public multiple times. Nothing ever came of those incidents. If the program decides they actually have to take action against you, then you're damn near incorrigible.

I remember reading that in SI back then & thinking 'damn, this is not a good sign for his career trajectory'.

Dude's rookie year actually started pretty well too.

He was a Philly legend, you couldn't have told anybody he wasn't gonna be a star at the next level even if he only played at Lasalle.
