OG Anunoby injury updates

[LFGK]

Very minor ankle sprain and might even play tomorrow. Bad news for wishing for achilles tear in order to be right on the Internet gang lol

Nobody wishes for this lol… you Thibs lovers are crazy!

They all make the same arguments which makes me think they have a group chat to come up with a defense. Nobody who is called "Minutes Police" wants OG or anyone to get hurt, it's these bozos that seem to think playing guys 40+ mpg is perfectly fine. They're the ones that actually want guys to get hurt, since that's the most logical outcome of overuse. If you're fine with the minutes, you're fine with the injuries, that simple.

Minutes since he's gone to a 9 man rotation

Bridges-33MPG
OG-37MPG
Brunson-36MPG
KAT-34MPG
Hart-36MPG

what are people still complaining about minutes for exactly? the minutes they are playing currently is still to much?

Probably because you’re celebrating and posting gifs when players get injured. You’re so caught up in the board discourse, it supersedes fan hood. An important player spraining his foot is not a trolling opportunity. It’s weird

Nobody is posting gifs in a celebratory way about the injury. These spinning attempts are what’s weird. After every single win the 5 or 6 of you sprint to the post game thread to troll and give all the praise to Thibs and knock his critics acting like you got the authority to strip those who don’t like his decisions of their fanhood, which is like 99% of the board. It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen on here.

Now you’re crying the blues trying to spin posting a gif during conversations as celebrating just because almost everyone else was right about Thibs. That’s a pretty desperate attempt at some sort of win to save face. People been warning about it all season… doesn’t mean they were wishing for it or happy it happened. Big difference.

Stop the crying, stop the whining when people criticize Thibs, and stop the trolling when the team wins.

i like the bold. just the bold.

Thibs Critics: “Guy runs players into the ground his whole career causing injuries, and he’s doing it again right now”

*injury happens*




Thibs Fanatics: “It’s not Tom’s fault stop celebrating! Stop posting gifs!!!!”

What sucks is that we can't trust the reports from the Knicks. They lie about injury stuff more than they dont

so, in the interest of a non-trolling conversation like i said in my post that you just liked and before you continued to troll post...

is there a way to have this conversation without it only looking like this?

i'd like to hone in a bit on "injury happens."

i recall seeing OG kind of shuffle his feet. (body and foot kind of temporarily moving in opposite directions.) i've actually done the same move and experienced a similar injury playing. OG can be a bit awkward and indecisive. none of us know anything yet, but it seems so far the sprain may not be as extreme an injury as originally feared. amen.

i don't understand the certainty of the injury being minutes related. as a thibs fan, that's the big part that i struggle with for his detractors.

total minutes: if the total minutes are too high today, then we'd reach this minutes total in a matter of games under a per game minutes that thibs critics find appropriate. so, he'd experience the injury later this month instead? not being spicy here. the logic genuinely escapes me.

i then try to reconcile that against the many similar injuries not only our team has not experienced, but that young teams with tighter minutes management have experienced. the lack of evidence of difference in health based on minutes and games played takes a lot away from this argument for me.

being gassed late in games and being able to keep up intensity is another completely undestandable conversation. same with being in games that are already won. that last one i be in here yelling right next to the MPs.

for a moment, before anyone knew anything, OG being hurt became a celebratory validation of belabored points. hard to see some of that as genuine.

looking forward to more insights on OG's health and timeline. not a continuation of the incessant thibs war.

Celebrating?

Who is trolling? You and your stan community literally put the coach above the health of the team, you all have the same exact defense now where it's become a discussion about trolling, celebrating and people hoping he was injured more when none of that is the case. You all are sad, you spent months/years defending such an idiotic practice by a coach and now have egg on your face and are desperately trying to make it about something else.

Again, nobody is celebrating an injury, if anything it highlights how delusional some of you are. It's all fun and games when guys are healthy and you can joke about "minutes police" being wrong as your god coach plays guys 24 mins straight, but the second a guy gets hurt on a non contact injury it's a different story. You were having fun a few days ago, where'd that fun guy go my boy?

You really gunna get on me when clearly I posted this the exact same time as you posted that? There’s a 1 minute difference in the times and it obviously takes more than a minute to post two gifs. Just sayin

6 games doesn't erase the 43 previous games and the funniest part is that OGs minutes were increasing. OG is playing a career high in minutes, the last time he played 36mpg or more he only played 48 games.

heard. wasn't clear. thanks for speaking to it.

am I tripping or did I hear he felt something in the foot in the 1st but kept playing?

These guys talking like a 9-man rotation in February isn't ridiculous?

I bet they would be dumbfounded about how Harold Godwinson managed to lose the battle of Hastings.

He went back to the locker room late in the 2nd qtr but came back to the bench before the end of the half. Thibs said in the post-game presser that he wasn't informed if it had to do with the foot or not.

Their new group think defense was that OG is injury prone, so you can't put that on the coach, as though playing an injury prone guy the most minutes in his career isn't a problem


It was all fun and games the last couple days in the Thibs has to go thread.

Mitch left the game against the Celtics in the 2nd quarter, he came back out for the 3rd quarter and gave it a go before leaving. He had a fractured ankle.

Zach LaVine played 6 minutes with a torn ACL before Thibs pulled him. Nothing to see here.

I think Thibs has done an excellent job overall since joining the Knicks, and that he'll be remembered as one of the franchise's most relevant figures in this century.

I don't think any of us will ever have irrefutable evidence that OG's injury was or wasn't minutes-related.

However, I think it is at the very least plausible that it was.

OG's one of the most brittle players in the NBA, yet he ranks in the top 10 in minutes per game. That he suffered a non-contact injury doesn't seem purely coincidental to me. I don't think it came from nowhere or from sheer bad luck.

The discourse sometimes tilts too far in the extremes but I think it's fair to point out that Thibs has been unwise on various occasions when it comes to leaving his players for too long on the court. OG should never be in the top 10 in the NBA in minutes per game. His career has taught us that he cannot be trusted to carry a heavy load and stay healthy. And whether or not this outcome i.e. the injury was directly caused by the total minutes he has played, I don't think the process is right to begin with.

thanks chanel. for real.

i find everything you said fair and valid at a minimum. i agree with the complete plausibilty that the injury is related to too many minutes, even if it's not the sole cause. i also think it's important to consider and respect the complexity of it all.

plausibility. well said. there's a neutral zone of uncertainty. and i understand both "sides" of how folks feel about it.

[G_K_F]

The most important thing here is that OG definitely does not have a ‘sprained foot’.

He hasn’t taken an MRI. We don’t know the results yet. Most likely will be much worse than a sprained foot.
