Will Booker thrash talk again? Stupid little ****

Yeah, stupid punk got totally exposed. Just 44 points on 17/23 shooting in 27:30 minutes. What a loser!

Although I love to point out his postseason against Dallas, I don't want to divert too much off topic.

Its always sad to see a guy injured, especially someone as good as KD.. This is gonna hurt the Suns title chances even if he comes back before the postseason, at the Suns will likely drop games and fall into the mix again of contending for playoff position.

that's like, two games of bad performances by Book among otherwise great ones in his two years of playoffs so far. 47 points against the lakers? 40 point triple double against the Clips? back to back 40 point games against the Bucks? 31 points in a half against the Pels? those performances cant get swept under the rug, even by a bizarrely bad g7. he is still early in his playoff career so to categorize Booker as some kind of perennial loser that early is weird.

But yeah didn't he also play or finish out the Finals game vs TOR or something like that then it ended up being a significant injury thus causing the torn Achilles?

Same as LeBron playing the rest of the game vs DAL or even the Hawks (groin) but ended up being a bad injury.

And who is this Doctor? A team Dr or is he observing just like us?

He's a sports doctor. Several NBA reporters follow him on twitter.

Not sure what's taking so long for a definitive answer, but I'm hopeful for some good news for KD and the Suns. Such bad luck with this guy.

Brian Stutterer is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic, and has a fairly significant following based on subscriber count. he is usually pretty quick to post videos that analyze sports injuries, sometimes within minutes of them happening,

I initially came across him during the 2021 playoffs when CP3 went down with the stinger. His analysis turned out to be fairly spot on.

Rub some dirt on it and get back in the game.

The Suns don't have a practice today, so we probably won't hear anything from the team until tomorrow.

2-3 weeks without KD. https://www.facebook.com/NBAonESPN/photos/a.140148703642/10161282565638643

Bye, bye All-NBA Team for KD.

Lakers are the favorites in the West now.

LeBron and Durant haven't played each other since Christmas 2018 and now may not face each other in either of the two Lakers/Suns games remaining in the regular season. They never played each other in a Lakers/Nets matchup. Pretty crazy.

I think we keep forgetting that Durant is an old guy.

At least he'll get to finish the season out with the team. KD being out until the playoffs was an almost impossible task, even for him, the best player in the world.

At least three weeks out.

Reevaluated in three weeks means he is at least four weeks out. Will need to ramp him up before he comes back. So the 4-6 weeks was kinda right on

This is gonna burn out their team since they’re already so thin, but then a top seed is going to have to face them with a rested Durant.

With the way he’s constantly getting injured, do y’all think he’ll be able to surpass MJ or Kobe on the NBA’s all-time leading scoring list?
