Man these guys (Zach, Lonzo) are brittal, minor or not they're both already claiming pain and injuries just 5 games into the season...

At least they are upper body things...bright side?

Still better off than Toronto.

I thought as much with the bad shooting, and then after halftime he came back his entire left side was padded up.
On the positive side there was a reason for the bad shooting night, but on the negative side this doesn't help other teams wary of him due to being injury prone.

It’s a long season. Plenty of players are already hurt.

Injury concerns hardly seem to matter in trade talks anyway as long as the guy can still run and jump. Butler, Lillard, Kawhi, PG, etc. all still have big value even though they're part time players.

The knock on Zach was always that he's a one way player that doesn't impact winning, Lonzo is the one where teams are (rightly) concerned his career could end any given night.

Well honestly we got so many guards that need and deserve PT we would be fine as long as it’s not a front court rotational guy

Lonzo's injury doesn't exactly seem minor, it's giving off some red flags IMO.

And it might require surgery (which he will surely opt to do)

I mean i use to sprain every few hours back in my teenage years, you can get over it rather quickly lol

But in all seriousness, a sprained wrist usually doesn't mean multiple weeks out, most i could see is a week usually a few days. More often than not when they have minor injuries reported it is more serious and they dont want anyone to know

They were throwing around the word surgery...

Good lord he disclocated his shoulder and played the entire game? I've dislocated an arm during a basketball game and I don't know how a training staff allows a player to continue playing, he continually charged into the paint for fouls since his shot was off.

Yep. Always bumps and bruises. Knock on wood... so far he hasn't missed a minute of play.

Which guard deserves playing time that isn't getting it?

I just saw that follow-up. Yep, that would explain his body language during the game better than a bruise.

Lavine has always been tough playing through injuries. Played half a season basically on one leg. But if the current couple days off isn't enough I would rather they sit him for a couple more and let that sucker heal up.

Agreed he plays through a lot of injuries, while that's great if we were a contender I feel it just lowers his stats & perception around the league on his value.
