Probably doesn't become really painful until its cools down. Or he just had adrenaline because so aroused to be playing his first home game.

Too many “Unlucky” injuries. He’s Mr. Glass until proven otherwise

Rolling your ankle like that sucks but better than what Lebron did

This.

It’s the biggest question mark I have towards Phoenix making it out of the West. Can KD stay healthy? Great player obviously, but he’s not exactly an iron man.

Gotta have pretty loose ankles to roll it on a warm-up lay-up like that.

Do people usually finish their warm ups and dunk after really bad ankle sprains?

Naw that's crazy bad luck. Reminds of klay thompson getting hurt in the offseason when he tried to prepare for his comeback.

WTF?

Why are you connecting the two? you think its karma?
Booker, just like everyone else, is allowed to trash talk. The NBA is better with players talking it up.
Psychotic. It didn’t make sense. I don’t know how you make it make sense

He won't make All NBA team if he misses rest of the season.

Tough luck, but the Suns still have a chance this year, and it's not like KD is going anywhere after the season.

This is what always scares me about guys with the height and body composition similar to Durant. Whether it's AD, Ingram or anybody 6'10 and up who's slight but plays like a guard/wing you just wonder about the rigors of the game on their bodies. And I'm sure they all do whatever's necessary to keep their bodies in peak condition but something nagging always happens. This is why as elite a prospect as Wembanyama is I'm sure that has to be in the back of every lottery team's mind.
