Keep wondering what "tore a ligament" means. Achilles? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like you'd say that Donte tore "x' ligament in his left ankle, and it was a grade 'x' tear. Wondering what the secrecy has always been here?

Donte's injury happened May 27th, so tomorrow it will have been 5 full months he's been on the mend with still no definite (or at least publicly revealed) timetable. That's a pretty significant amount of time for anything other than a complete tear.

The whole thing has been strange. Like PP said, I don't see why you wouldn't just come out say he tore X ligament in his ankle. Makes you wonder if they originally misdiagnosed the injury or there was a setback.

nba really needs to come up with a streaming service without blackout rules. its exhausting having to find illegal streams because their normal services dont work.

It's terrible. I am even willing to pay. **** cable companies. Nobody gives a **** if they get their money. I spend so much energy clicking ads only for the stream to drop right before a major play. I'm convinced heightened energy is connected to technological failures. There needs to be a solution - THIS YEAR. Sick of this ****.

NBA league pass is - by far - the worst of the available sports league services, too. The interface is terrible on all platforms, poor quality, the blackout rules themselves are stupid, and bad customer service. I ranted at them last year when TNT pulled a Bucks game because we were winning by too much; I couldn't "just turn on the local" because I was in GA and pay for league pass. They literally just sent me a link to their TOS.

Happily back in WI so I don't have to deal with that bull anymore.

I enjoy League Pass without blackout issues, and only paid $20 for it (included all teams and NBA TV).

Requires 1) an India VPN (I use Nord VPN myself) while watching games.
2) Purchase League Pass in Indian Rupees while on the India VPN on nba.com

Works great, and feels like I paid for something expensive when I only paid $20. My Amazon Fire TV stick brings up my NBA and Nord VPN apps.

God damn that is a steal

I remember asking that at the start with no definitive answer. It's definitely not a tendon, as in the Achilles, as that has force-production and therefore athletic performance implications vs passive restraint role of a ligament. If they said ligament and it was a tendon in reality I can't imagine the NBA would be ok with that as it would even have betting implications.

I think this is an example of a championship team with crappy reporters who haven't actually gone digging for any info. Kane and Frank are probably our best bet, but they (rightly) have been looking at other stuff around the team.

Nwora has actually been really good, he just hasn't shot well. However, we've played 3 of 4 on the road.

I'm guessing the shooting numbers for both Grayson and Nwora will go up a after a few home games. Giannis will probably hit more 3s too.

Yep... I've enjoyed reading your Nwora stuff. You nailed it!
