Lucky they got Batum & PJ to fill that position while the Jeremys can switch at shooting guards

I blame this on poor minutes management!

Surely Thibbs is somehow responsible.

At least the offense won't suffer....
And I wasn't starting MKG in my NBA2k16 Hornets anyway,

Good thing he got the contract first, so it wouldn't hurt his value.

ahhh preseason injuries suck

IMO its a wrap for him. He's literally consistently been hurt the past 2-3 years. Not that he can't be productive. I was a huge fan of his coming out of Kentucky.
