Mann Up: The Tre Mann thread

[Bassman]

If Tre Mann asks for a 3/27 this summer what are you doing? Or signs an offersheet with Brooklyn for that amount. What are you doing?

With a long lingering back problem that has not responded well to efforts so far? I’m taking a long look at all risk factors, options of where to put that money, etc. I loved having Mann here, but back problems can be chronic all too quickly.

Tre spinal surgery, LaMelo snubbed, federal investigation involving our team. Gotta love Hornets basketball, never know what great news you’ll get any given day

Mark didn't need surgery. So Mann's injury must be worse. Which means he's going to be out at the start of next season too, maybe longer.

I'm not sure it works that way. Surgery doesn't necessarily mean a longer recovery time, especially if you don't respond well to non-surgical stuff.

Conversation further down:

"Is tre close to coming back?

From what I’ve seen/heard, no. Mann continues to nurse the disc irritation in his lower back, and the Hornets most recent update did not indicate a return to the court in the near future."

This whole thing is confusing. I thought they had already reported that he was going to have back surgery. Did they walk that back and are now trying to do non-surgical options again? Or is he still waiting to have the back surgery but he's okay movement wise to get shots up while waiting for surgery. And there was never really an elaboration on what kind of surgery it would be? Are we just talking about a cortisone shot in the disk or some type of nerve block shot? Or are we talking full on go in do a disk replacement to fix the bulging disk?

Not sure how many of you have had issues with bulging disks or herniated disks in your neck or spine. I had I had a disk rupture in my neck, C7, back in 2021. It was the most excruciating painful thing I've ever experienced in my life. I couldn't lay on my back. I couldn't lay on my stomach. I couldn't lay on my left side. I could only lay on my right side. I was getting maybe two hours of sleep a night. No amount of non opioid medicine could even begin to dull that pain. And the nerve pain was all the way down my left arm into the hand and it felt like my muscles were being clamped by a vice. I couldn't look up. I could only look down. I couldn't ride in a car without a bolster pillow on my spine and even then every bump in the road felt like a knife in the neck. This went on for about six weeks before I finally got a nerve block injection. Thankfully since the disk had ruptured it repaired itself and eventually the new disk slotted back into place in the right spot and I didn't have to have surgery. But I still have minor issues with that spot on my neck from time to time.

So I don't know what he or Mark went through with their bulging disk issues in their back. But if it was anything like when I went through then playing basketball was the furthest thing for my mind. But getting surgery at that age is obviously a scary thing when you're talking about anything in and around your spine.

Spencer Percy has been throwing **** at the wall and hoping it sticks on injury “inside info” for close to a decade. It’s not hard to hypothesize a guy who’s been out with disc issues for months now is going to need a surgery and be out, and nobody would care if he’s wrong so might as well post it

[wilson115]

Was it ever listed as a hernia before?

I think we've only ever seen it listed as disc irritation. A herniated disc seems to imply that disc has slipped out of place or has ruptured, which if true is incredibly painful and pretty debilitating in the short term. And I can totally understand not wanting to jump into surgery so they're probably hoping that the disc regenerates itself back into the correct position.

They had said he was out for the year about a month ago

who is "they"
If that came directly from the Hornets I missed that. I only saw the rumor that he was going to have back surgery. But then we saw him a few days later in some practice clips shooting around.

I don't think the team did that, think he's remembering that Spencer Percy tweet.

[JMAC3]

I would be fine moving on from him, we already have enough guys that don't play. Why take the risk for a guy that was pretty bad in the limited games he played this year outside of shooting a hot three ball to start year.

[HornetJail]

Tre feels like a prime QO candidate to me. One additional year to get healthy and prove he can play at a pretty low price.

However, I'm game planning and building the roster as if he's not there. We need to add playmakers, several of them, and we can't just assume he's going to play.

[GiggitySmalls]

It sucks because I was really enjoying him since we got him til when he got injured. He's a quality player that we could definitely use and need, but if this is a long term thing for him, he is replaceable.
