He only missed 1 game during the lockout year however.
We were talking about this in the other thread but I don't think Gio is injury prone at all.
It has been 4 significant injuries that kept him out for huge chunks.
2009-Missed last 24 games and playoffs w. shoulder surgery
2011- Missed 21 straight games with leg injury
2013-Missed 18 straight games- LBI
2015- Missed last 21 games and playoffs- Biceps injury
If you take out those 4 occasions the ONLY other game he has missed was in April 2013 for personal reasons (birth?/death?)
He's the exact opposite of Lupul, this is the guy FDW could make an argument around saying he isn't injury prone, just has bad luck.
