You're just a Luka hater cause he was drafted in the same class as ayton and is better than him.

If it wasn't for that you would 'preciate his game. Cause we know being fat and not playing any d isn't a deal breaker for you.

I’m pretty sure that’s what ended Chris Bosh’s career. I hope Wemby is able to make a full recovery. Scary stuff and such a shame for the potential face of the league to experience so early in his career

IIRC, the thing that was the issue with Bosh was that he needed to be on blood thinners, meaning if he had internal bleeding from bruising, the blood wouldn't be able to coagulate and he would essentially bleed out

So long as Wemby's clot is a 1-time thing and not something he needs constant medication for, he should be fine. But it's just something that's more common the taller you get.

Yeah, initial prognosis sounds like it should be manageable but Wemby is worth hot take panicking over.

Yikes, I was just talking to a friend earlier that I don't think Fox is a real needle mover for them to make the playoffs. I'm getting real Bradley Beal vibes from him. I'm not on the Wemby train, but sad to hear none the less.

If it’s just an isolated blood clot and doesn’t spread he should be fine. Ingram had one in his shoulder too a couple years ago. Hopefully it’s just a one time thing. Def would suck to see his career be over. He is a generational player that we’ll likely never see ever again in our life time.

That is some wild spin control there when comparing toradol to tramadol. Not sure if a single use will show up on a test, so this might be a case of usage during a prolong period. It was recently banned, but Bobby or his agent or his sports doctor or the team doctor should have put this on their radar ASAP. Tough break if this was indeed an honest mistake, which very well could be. I know people who still pain killers years after being prescribed it.

WTF Wemby no!!!!!!!

DVT in a 21 year old is so alarming. I hope he'll be alright

Like Wemby is not only the future but he is just different man in terms of how he goes about stuff. I said it before, but after he stopped to chill out with fans here in the park playing chess in the rain I immediately became a fan of the kid. It's always the good ones man damn
