Hamstring injury for Detroit Pistons’ Chauncey Billups

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the usefulness of stretching before and after exercise. It’s hard to imagine that stretching *doesn’t* help prevent sports and athletic injuries. 
Basketball player Chauncey Billups has been playing for 11 years in the NBA and, for the first time, has strained his hamstring. The accident happened as he got tangled up under the basket in a game in Orlando, FL.
What worries me is the rush that the management has in getting Billups back on the court. I know he’s an important player, but rushing him back too soon will only cause more damage to his leg.
