Isaac situation never changes, he is always a ways from being ready...guess he'll have more time to do podcast with Ben Shapiro.

And really stub your toe at home and it breaks???? Come on now...

And Suggs may be balding but he is a millionaire now so won't really matter lol.

Isaac's like nuclear fusion. Always 10 years away from being the best thing ever.

Good.

Nah but he’ll be ready for training camp. We all know they don’t give timelines.

I'm sure the players would want to bring their families too.

This could be one of the worst Hurricanes to ever hit Orlando if it stays on the current track.

It'll dump a ton of rain for sure, but it would be far from the worst. Remember Charley in 2004? It's sustained winds were higher than Ian's predicted gusts. The gusts from Charley were 100mph+ even after it made landfall...made places like Winter Park look like a war zone.

It could take the Charlie path and be a major Hurricane also. Charlie traveled through the state in a few hours and this one might be stationary for a couple of days.

True. You can't really drive to it with wind gusts over 100 mph for two days.

I’m sure that facility is probably safer than any home right about now.

It's funny that JI says he's "healthy" (I mean in a JI healthy way) and there's video of him as well and people are still stuck on the "HE ISN'T READY!" part by Weltman which.. of course they're going to work him in slowly. Haven't we been predicting he'd come off the bench with a minutes restriction? He's going to have to shake two years of rust so I have no issues with what they're doing or what was said. Unless it comes out they're not playing him until January or something then let's calm a bit with the panic

Knightro - Maybe it is just my phone, but all these posts of yours, just have a link that says "read on twitter" but the link goes no where.

Would you mind summarizing please?

There were about 7 posts of yours I really wanted to read!

He probably is healthy, but that just means he’s able to start rehabbing his game instead of his body. I think they’ll want him to relearn some of his movements to help protect his body more, before they throw him into contact and drills that might see him falling into old habits which increase injury potential.

When I have " bad internet connection" it does the same to me. I just refreshed it when I have better connection and it can read the twitter posts.

Exactly this!!!

A lot of us were in the mindset that JI would get probably 15mins a game for a month or 2 and then by all-star break probably reach to 25mins.

Its for the best really.

Yep. We can moan about how it's been two years - but reinjuring a knee will do that to you, and he's had setbacks as well. So did Jaren Jackson, Porzingis, Zion, Ben Simmons, etc. Different lengths but different severities of injury too. We play it very cautiously with injuries in the first place and it's not like Isaac is hiding away somewhere. He's literally practicing drills on the court and being pretty fluid. Way different from not hearing any updates at all or seeing him anywhere.
