I’m honestly unsure how everyone isnt concerned about this guy’s durability.

This is awful news. They "protected" him down the stretch because they wanted him to get to the off-season. He missed the first month and a half of the off-season with a PRP injection. Now he'll miss the remainder of the off-season because of a torn meniscus.

Meniscus tears are fairly minor injuries but it doesn't give much hope for his durability.

Kid is soft... Played 50 games as a rookie now hurt in his “big offseason”... He will be an injury risk for his entire career...

Is Lavar the source?? I bet it's the same knee with that Swag Pad. Seriously concerned about his durability... there's a clear injury pattern.

This is horrible news.. he basically misses the entirety of "his most important offseason"
but the timing of this is very suspicious to me :noway:

I believe Jahlil Okafor had a meniscus tear and he wasn't 100% for a while. So who knows.

Ramona is putting the release of this info squarely on Lonzo’s camp. Not something the lakers released.
