Injury updates thread

Ant is day to day, practicing, and probably available this week. JMAC is practicing but not with contact yet. Could be back end of this week to end of next week. MCD is not practicing or playing this week. Finch is hoping to get him back to practice next week.

Jaden played 78 games last yr, so he seemed durable but missing a month for the 2nd time this year is concerning. It’s a rolled ankle this time. A week off and get back out there.

I always wanted to ask .. why don’t NBA players wear more protective gear to prevent injuries?

Can impact movement and actually cause injury. For example, nut cups can dig into the skin of the thighs. Knee pads could injure an opposing player in a knee to knee or knee to thigh.
