DJ has tendinitis???

I just caught this little bit of info from Brian Windhorst in today's ABJ:

"Damon Jones had an MRI on his knees, which have been bothering him, and it confirmed he has tendinitis. He also did not practice, but is expected to be on the active roster tonight."
Now I'm not a doctor, I just play one on this blog. But in my expert medical opinion, this is definitely related to the death of the Hawk. One of the following two theories is undoubtedly true:

1) His body was used to the extra weight of the Hawk, and now that it is gone his knees tried to adjust to the difference, he ran slightly different, and thus the onset of tendinitis.

2) Probably the more plausible theory - he was just much more aerodynamic with the Hawk and cut through the wind resistance. Obviously this ease of motion was much less stressful on the knee joints.

chiefwahoo56, M.D. says less aerodynamic = more injury prone :(
