I mean... Paolo and Dell are in the injured list..now it seems Suggs is too.

Grant, like lowry and embiid, kinda injures those he guards. And he kinda guards the SF which is Franz...

Hamstrings can be tricky. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if he missed time. Better safe than have him injury it worse and he misses weeks.

Grant Williams was trying to hurt our players last season when we played Charlotte.

Yeah... whats good for Suggs is usually a 3 missed games for an average NBA player.

Let him rest ang back 100%

Jett was nice in regular time but was not great in garbage time, but nobody was. He's a play off the stars kind of guy.

Great chance for Jett, Harris will get his injury going soon as usual, only Cole to beat to rotation which doesn't look hard

It has been shocking how poor Caldwell-Pope's three-ball has been. Here's hoping that his family is safe and that his mind can now focus on his work!

You might be right that this pregnancy was causal to his 3pt%. We'll see soon!

Black has beaten Anthony out of backup PG minutes and Harris has beaten Anthony out of backup SG minutes. The issue now is that both Black and Harris have been getting SF minutes with Banchero out. i.e. when Banchero comes back, Anthony's minutes should go to zero.

Gotta say, TdS has been getting a lot of minutes...which I like. He's an older rookie, so, to some degree, he is already much of what we can expect him to be...but all of this PT in meaningful games will only help us in the medium-term. Great pick, imo.

He's not ROY, but if you look at the Rookie Rankings on NBA.com, his numbers aren't blown away by anyone...he should have consideration for some All-Rookie teams if he just improves his efficiency a bit as the season goes on.

Shout out to Gary Harris, another good game. 3 steals, a three, 3 FTA, and an offensive rebound in 18 mins is fine work. Among rotation players that puts him 4th in game score and 3rd in BPM.

Solid win the end, our depth is really helping us this year. Franz being on a tear helps too, of course.

This was another game where the offense looked a lot better when Suggs was off the court. I love his defence and effort, but it's becoming pretty clear him handling the ball a lot and taking plenty of shots off the dribble isn't good for our offense.

Cole is just hard to watch currently, he seems totally lost on the court.

He doesn't handle the ball much at all since we switched Franz on-ball basically.
