I feared Melo’s ankle issues may be chronic. I also pointed out how ankles in his condition can become weakened and never fully recover. I HOPE this is not happening with our best player.

Thank goodness Moose is the great surprise of our season.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

The simple fact is our 2 of our core players, Melo and Mark (I guess?) seem to have some sort of chronic injury issues.

Eric’s Jimmy Stewart impression was worth all of this.

Moose got too powerful, so he had to be stopped.

its why Lakers pulled out of the trade, they realised they went for the wrong Charlotte centre

That photo was a left ankle roll and he misses the game for right ankle soreness? Bad reporting or what

Also standard Hornets operating procedure, bringing a guy back from injury early just for them to immediately go down again with the same issue. Our medical staff is truly a disaster man. Telling me we couldn’t get Moose some goggles? LaMelos chronic soreness is just gonna go away by playing every other game?

This team is unlucky as hell but they do themselves absolutely no favors with how they manage their players, diabolical mismanagement

These issues have spanned 2 medial staffs. I think we just have a bunch of glassware players.

it doesnt take a sports medicine PhD to make the guy with an eye abrasion wear a pair of goggles the day after his injury

Moose didn’t want to wear them. More concerning thing is chronic ankle soreness. Dell **** curry is on the plane with the team every game. He needs to tell Lamelo whatever Steph did

Bro it’s Moussa Diabate the g league guy who’s been fighting all year for a shred of guaranteed money not LeBron. Tell him to put the **** goggles on lol.

What’s the point of a 10 person medical staff if they let the players decide what they want to do anyway, this is the same reason LaMelos ankles are ruined and the same crappy logic was used with Miles bone bruise reinjury

What Curry did was get in the workout room, lift weights and get stronger. Specifically did squats and built up to some heavy levels for his frame. For Melo’s diagnosis strengthening his legs and wearing braces is about all he can do. If they continue to weaken from repeated damage it may be too late.
