To leave at that point of the game, it is definitely serious. He showed the potential once again but I am dubious he can ever put it together for a long enough stretch to be one of the greats.

His poor legs can only take so much weight.

I'm guessing it's a hamstring issue?

He immediately knew something was wrong too, just no hesitation in asking out of the game. Don't know what it is yet but "soreness" doesn't fit the bill.

To be out so quick without hesitation and not coming back at that point of a must win game he was dominating.

Yeah it must be something really serious.

At least he pulled the hamstring.

Silver promised him free cheeseburgers for life if he allowed the Lakers to win.

There’s no way you get an mri for “leg soreness”. This is serious.

They’re better off not even saying anything til the mri cause if it’s serious, “leg soreness” was a terrible insufficient description.

For now Zion just looks weak as hell to be kept out with simple “soreness”. How is that even acceptable to be kept out cause of soreness.

Echoing the fact it can't be leg soreness. You don't get MRI's for leg soreness.

I mean his frustration and how pissed he was shows that he knows he's done something serious enough.

Yup yup, which makes it so weird Green would tell the media it’s something as innocent as soreness before even having an mri. Makes Zion look bad.

Checks Fanduel and sees that someone bet heavy on the under 41 pts for Zion...
