CBS sports says he is still out tonight. I also read that the two weeks was too avoid a season ending surgery. They need to re-evaluate his wrist to see if it is healing well enough and how long it will take to fully heal. I doubt he plays anytime soon.

He was to be evaluated in two weeks after the team came back from the break. After that he will likely miss more time, if it looks great then maybe another week if it not so great then maybe the season. It's up in the air, we will see what the evaluation says soon. He probably wont be back for at least a week minimum from today but likely longer.

"pursue a non-operative strategy"

Whatever. You can't just break something and let it heal anymore. Did a car drive over his wrist and explode everything?

Is this like the "strategy" last season when RoCo waited from January until the offseason to have a knee scoped? Just tape it up or cut it off and get back in the games. Tanking McTankers.

These bench rotations are so fun...

J Mac - Culver - Layman - Johnson - Jauncho ... that is the system right there. Long/switchable/athletic

This 3-point offense does look pretty horrible when the shots aren't falling, you can shoot yourself out of a game pretty quickly. I suppose if enough guys heat up the hope is that you can shoot yourself back in to a game that traditionally looks hopeless. Not really that much fun to watch though.

Actually, looking at the stats it seems like they haven't really shot as many as they usually do by this point in the game. Well, I'm not really paying much attention to it, I probably shouldn't bother to comment.

Pay Malik Beasley.

Watching him after struggling through Wiggins for years is like rediscovering basketball.

And he's 2 years younger.

Fourth quarter should be Nowell time. Just let him shoot until he finds his game.

I think tonight is a tank job..dlo should be benched for his lousy shooting but Beasley balling but not playing in 4th at all. I pray dlo will have better game Sunday. But unlikely with Ingram guarding him. Just hope he dont shoot 2-14 like tonight.

If Steve Clifford has Covid 19 this would be really really bad. I seriously, seriously, seriously doubt it, but worth mentioning.

That was my first thought too when they mentioned he had an illness and was hospitalized for it.
