Mutombo's Career May Be Over

Dikembe Mutombo
Last night's Blazers/Rockets game was on NBA TV so I didn't get to see it, but later on when TNT did a game update during the Lakers/Jazz game I got to see that Dikembe Mutombo got carted off with a devastating knee injury.

After 18 years in the league and at age 42, it'd be hard to see Mutombo wanting to even attempt a comeback, similar to his good friend Alonzo Mourning when he got hurt a couple years ago. Dikembe himself even said, "For me, basketball is over." So the Rockets are gonna need to find a good back up center quick fast before Yao inevitibly gets hurt again.
