People should be fired for this.

Anybody who's played with a strain not fully recovered knows how that feels like. You can feel great and healthy but all it takes is one twitch move to re-aggravate it.

Happened to me multiple times playing soccer. That was the hammy though.


Wait did AD have this same injury when he was on the Lakers? Is this why he was out?


yes

Who reported that and how do we know the report was true? I can tell you that every abdominal injury is tricky and should be treated with caution, doesn't make me an insider.

Looking at what Redick was saying along with the doc whose tweet I posted said about the timeline, it looked like AD suffered a grade 1 ABDOMINAL strain which takes 10 days to recover from at most. He returned 2 weeks after an injury so I have no idea why would anyone think he was rushed back. In his first game back he suffered a different injury, an ADDUCTOR injury.

Since we're making uneducated guesses, going from 2 weeks of very little physical activity to playing 30 minutes and going all out in his 1st game back is what probably caused an injury. Especially when we all know AD is also very prone to picking up small injuries, they don't call him Day to Davis for nothing.

This is just me guessing we would not have played him until the post ASB break. But him being out 2 weeks without training and then playing all out would also explain it to be honest.


So why make it seem like you have first hand info that the Mavs knew AD wasn't fully healed and rushed him back anyway LMAO?

Poor AD. Can't this just be the worse trade of all time without him getting hurt?

I'm still surprised that they didn't shop Luka around the league to start a bidding war and that they didn't get more from LA. At least get Knecht and every pick you can. I don't care if they didn't let them talk to Luka's age. Get those assets.


Why bother having a bidding war when a team like the Lakers will give you 30% of the value?

This is like a guy having a $10 million dollar mansion and he wants to sell it, and he doesn't put it up on the market just selling it to a random guy for $3 million.


Imagine if you're a stock holder or part owner of the Mavs? I'd be upset that they didnt do their due dilligence before trading Luka.

stop lol

he magically injures his abductor on the first game after exerting himself like never before with a different abdominal strain?
it's common for related muscle groups to "compensate" etc. if he didn't have the pre-existing injury - he wouldn't have injured his abductor so yes, in essence one could could it the same injury. there's a causal link between the two :)

yeah, Mavs are missing the play-in now. no fault of Davis personally and he doesn't deserve it but every basketball fan in the world wants the Mavs to implode, they deserve it.

Kings are hosting them tonight and and will basically tie with the Mavs, Warriors are going to be picking up more wins with Jimmy, even PDX whose won like 9 of the last 11 are only a couple of games back and the miserable Suns will still win at a higher win-rate this month. even if they somehow fall to 10th and still be in the play-in, they're not beating OKC after basically not playing together

justice is served

Is it common for the abductor and abdominal to be related though? When it comes to compensatng?

I fully believe he wasn't recovered from the abdominal btw. Lakers medical staff are notorious for not being transparent with injuries.

If he was a laker he wouldn't have sniffed a game until post asb.

If I were a GM looking to win a title, I would move guys who can't stay on the court, not acquire them.

True i should have said this is my belief. However i dont think anybody in here thinks a random dude on a forum has any first hand info about anything. That goes without saying.

Yeah it's connected, Dr. Brian Sutterer gave an explanation.

He decided to dismantle the champioship team, and basically shiped Brunson out of Dallas, everybody's got some bodies in the closet.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

The owners were in on the trade. They knew. Some are even wondering if they were the driving force.
