Shams: AD has surgery for detached retina he suffered “during the season” last year

If he doesn't paint a solid black line over the top of his goggles the Brow brand is dead

There is a zero chance I would continue playing during the season of my retina was detached. We’re talking about messing with ability to see. I guess props to him for pushing through the pain.

Dude needed a wheel chair after getting tapped on the head.

Not saying he isn't legit injured but he isn't that guy

As a RealGM eye doctor of 18 years, I say he'll be fine.

Is it the left eye injury against the Raptors?

Two things can be true. He has historically been soft at moments and I can respect him playing through it.

Maybe it doesn’t hurt to play through? I dunno. But I’m not messing with my eyes if I was a player. I’d rather play on a torn ligament than have the chance that I messed up my vision permanently. That’s just me though.

Break out the goggles

Is this not the same injury amare had? He had to be lying face down for many days if I’m not mistaken

Rest will manage, though, and I expect him to be rocking the goggles when the season starts, heh.

If it's the same injury amare had I remember it clearly impacting his game, especially early on. Amare had developed a decent mid range tame during his previous injury which side lined him for some time, and his shot looked off for some time when he returned from eye surgery.

This is the play he likely sustained the injury

Yeah, I mean, his eye was screwed up. Of course it will affect him. But it's manageable and he can heal from it. We're not talking about him having a blown-out Achilles or like microfracture surgery on his knee or whatever, is all I was saying.

On a way to become the most hated Mavs player ever among Dallas fan base. People who were disappointed in Luka for missing November and January games will feel ashamed of themselves.

Now read all the injury slander in this thread, and realize he has played more games in his early 30s than Mark Williams in his early 20s. Then health doesn’t generally improve with increasing age and more NBA mileage. Yet a lot of people act like others are missing the boat on Williams.

(Yes, a mini thread hijack, but for how long can people really talk about AD’s retina?)
