He’s a game-time decision.

If he can’t play tonight, he’ll probably play tomorrow.

And if not tomorrow Friday for sure.

There has to be something. I cant believe that ankle thingy is minor if it takes him out for more than 2 weeks.

I’ll take a Fultz lineup over the Houstan/Okeke tank lineup. It never made sense from the get go.

Eh, I guess they are giving this lineup one last try but tbh I like WCJ off the bench and Fultz with no jumpshot should not start. I hope they stagger the minutes, I like WCJ and Fultz on the court at all times with no Paolo on the floor.

Franz only ended up missing 8 games with a sprained ankle.

In the grand scheme of things that isn’t that many.

Ingles missed 13 games with his ankle sprain originally, ya know?
