[Crooked-I]

EZ made the game thread, expect a 30 point loss lol.

Lonzo practiced today so hopefully he plays. He needs some reps with Brooke.

So that means he def isn't playing. Not really worth it. Too bad tho.

That sprain didn't look bad at all though..... Dear lord, some of the players around the league these days. I used to get sprains all the time playing soccer and not once did I ever miss a game because of it.

Ya man these days players such wimps ... Bring back the 80's 90's please

Everyone soo cautious these days

Edit: when I played in highschool (in Aus) I once played with a bruised finger taped up, banged up knee and while playing a game ended up getting a black eye, 2nd quarter from a guy who elbowed me coming down from a rebound (accident) and still kept playing even coach was like WTF u still playing. Me: Well I can still walk and run and + u need a PG

[ROballer]

He better man up and **** play, my fantasy team is already pretty beaten up by injuries.

It all depends on how it feels the day of.
When Lonzo was talking about it yesterday after practice he said he felt a little “discomfort”. I know that word is medical code for “pain”. Not sure if Lonzo meant uncomfortable or pain.

I gotta stop watching Grey’s anatomy

[Sushisensei26]

Lonzo usually downplays injuries. If he's using the word discomfort means he is definitely feeling pain. I hope there hasn't been a setback of some sort. The sprain didn't "look" that bad when it happened.

Hope he makes it for the season opener or at least game 2.

[TwoStarz]

Something about lonzos body type and frame tells me he is going to be injury prone. Oh and he also seems like he has a very low pain tolerance if that ankle sprain is still bothering him. It didn’t even look serious

I remember spraining my ankle for the first time it hurt like hell and felt like my ankle broke. After playing basketball for a couple of years and routinely tweaking or spraining my ankle, the injury hurt less and I've been able to recover faster. Just from my personal experience.

Lonzo has barely ever hurt his ankle so it'll take some time to recover.

[tugs]

Lonzo's ankle injury reminds me of glass ankle Steph.

[danfantastk32]

Im intrigued to see the team across the hall. Will be funny to see them sans-Paul after all these years.

Really hoping we dont get thrashed by 40 points. I HATE getting worked by them, more than anything.

When he did it he was rubbing and pointing to the outside of his leg above the ankle.... or in the area of a "high ankle sprain". Those can linger a little.

I read on Hoops Hype he's out tonight.

[SlimShady83]

Q) Do you guys think that Ingram would be able to handle being on the bench OR would he complain/bitch or would it stuff up his mind a bit and make it worse?

Just not so sure sitting him on the bench would be good

[SlimShady83]
