Is Williams holding him out because he thinks we'll walk away from OKC? I'm sure a lot of people paid good money to see his home debut. I realize he's coming off an injury and all... but come on.

He slipped on a wet spot in warmups and tweaked his ankle. There's video on previous page.

Damn I definitely expected at least 10 games from KD before his injuries appeared. Durability is so underrated, it’s a gem to find guys that can consistently stay healthy for the most part. But in KD’s case, he’s been a walking injury the last 3-4 years and as he gets older it’s only gonna get worse.

What you mentioned is why, despite his all-world skill and financial draw, I didn't want him in trade and especially because we seemed to have grossly overpaid.

To make it worse we traded THE GOAT DURABILITY DUDE for him.

Is this NBA or a late pickup game at the park?

I mean... this looks pretty tame and was absolutely a freak incident that could have happened to anyone. Whoever was responsible for sweeping the court and keeping it dry should be worried for their job though.

No KD, Drysdale, and Wheezy just yelling constantly during game breaks is making this one hard to watch.

If the refs didn't hate Booker he'd be going for 72 points.

I understand it being a totally random event. I just don't understand how that could have occurred and especially seeing it's likely that others stepped in that same spot.

Well, **** happens sometimes.

Wheezy and Drysdale can save any game tho.
Such amazing personalities

Monty wanted to sit KD and see if Torrey was playoff ready and now he has his answer.
