He did wear it in the playoffs.Stanford wrote:TYO23 wrote:Is the brace going to be something he has to wear for the rest of his career? Kind of worried about it restricting his movement a bit.
As some have speculated in this thread, it's likely that the Sixers made it a condition of his participation, which makes sense to me. I don't think it's a indication he'll be wearing it in the NBA for the rest of his career. He would have worn it in the playoffs, if so.

The other part of me doesn't want this wear and tear on Maxey. He is better than Jrue and White, you can also make a case for Jaylon on this team.
It made my day that Tatum was DNP. Sitting there with his pretty ass hairline on the bench. Classic.

I can definitely see Maxey making the 2028 squad barring injury of course. By then most of the older players (LeBron, KD, Curry, etc.) should be retired.

Lebron will probably play as long as he wants, although the Lakers will probably make him retire as they will be mediocre at best. How long does he want to play in that situation? If it was me, I'd leave. But he won't, he is playing for his legacy in this Olympics really hard right now probably cause he knows he won't win sh...t for the Lakers anymore.
I'm still happy Tatum was DNP, did I mention that?

And then I would expect Silver to proclaim that the in-season tournament wins would now be considered championships, complete with rings, allowing LeKing to "match" Jordan's six rings.
