A blunder by former Michigan basketball player Manny Harris cost him a shot at a roster spot with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris was waived by the Cavs last week after being unable to practice because of an injury to his right foot. The guard …

Andy Murray has done it again. Those of you who are avid LBS readers know we love using our weird injuries tag. While unfortunate, most of the injuries are completely hilarious so we feel the need to rip on the victims. Today, however, is a …

Damn, that was quick. When Rafael Nadal suffered a childish injury just a few shorts days ago, we were expressing how relieved we are that MLB athletes aren’t the only ones who suffer from strange injuries. It took less than a week for …
