DeRozan injures ankle; unlikely to play vs. Heat

[barrist]

Most likely it'll be Wright to start as Jay won't want to mess up the rotations i'm guessing.

[Nothingface]

I hope we can see Beli start.

As much as I support and agree with the idea of DD starting, I think we would be better off with Beli starting.

Now is the time to get some wins under our belt.

[Nostradunkus]

Im guessing its career ending.

[Paperclip]

Nooooooooooooooo

i love that show.

Yeah not good news, hopefully it is not serious. I`d like to see Wright start out and Belli continue off the bench but play more.

[MrBojangelz71]

Brought back memories of

"Andrea Rushed to Hospital for Emergency Appendectomy."

If I read right, they said he was putting weight on it, which is good. Hopefully it's nothing more than a strain.

[Greg Stink]

I like Beli coming off the bench, we need him there, but he should play 30+ for sure.

If Sonny is healthy I'd like to see him start. He gives us a similar look to our regular starting unit, even if he doesn't play much outside the 1st and 3rd. Particularly against Miami, It's not like Wright has a better chance of guarding someone as quick as Wade, athletically Weems is at least on the same planet. Wright couldn't even foul Wade in time.

I'd rather see Jack or Banks check Wade over Wright, even. I'd actually really like to see Banks pressure Wade and play a PG on Rafer off-the-ball if Wade is carving us up.

Here's a little more info:

Damn you Hedo!!!!!!!!!!

[Spragga]

This means more cack.

Might even mean Banks if he's out for a couple of games.

[koolguy]

hopefully he's okay.

I wouldn't touch the bench so we may see CACK inserted in the starting lineup

[RomaniaLuvTR]

not DD

[CapeCrusader]

Or we could start Antoine Wright for defence against Wade.

Might not be a bad idea; however, if Hedo is still in his shooting funk we might need Marco for his shooting.

Ew Wade would eat Wright up off the bounce horribly.

Wright is best off the primary Ball handler as he has great awareness.

I wonder if Banks at the 2 could contain Wade.

Banks would know how to play Wade from their Miami days.

No chance I want Banks on Wade.

[CapeCrusader]

Hopefully its nothing serious and we see him back this week.

[J-Roc]

This team has been lucky wrt to injuries this year.

[Kabookalu]

I knew that 3apg didn't look right. For him to average that amount in just 21 minutes while not being that great of a passer (yet) without having the ball in his hands most of the time, yeah.

[Major_9000]

Noooo, that does not sound good.

[sumsimdimgun]

some of you don't seem to get how this works yet....

the person that will get the start (if derozan is absent) will be Wright. triano will not mess up the rotations. beli will continue to be the spark off the bench because that's what he is and does. sonny gets more minutes as well, but Wright will start if derozan is absent.

[GamePoint]

Dammit. Hopefully it's not too serious or of the lingering nature, because DD comes of as the type to take part in the All Star events regardless of injury.

[HiMyNameIsTrey]

Nooooooo...

Hopefully it's nothing big

[Lionel Messi]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
