Man, you could have been a 18 ppg kind of guy if you could just avoid injuries and make your free throws.

had high hopes for him too but... his career is probably over... or probably will never play the same again.

One of the few moments I remembered from last year. Hope he can recover fully and continue his career.

Ton of talent and a wonderful guy. Hopefully he still has an NBA career left in him but achilles injuries are no joke even to the best of them. He never really regained any athleticism and burst.

Shame that injured ruined his career. Hope he bounces back when he's healthy. Thanks X.

You brought excitement to a lost season. Thanks for being a bright spot.

Lakers is really experimenting a tough seasons. Many young talents got injured. Henry is my favorite kind of player, he's explosive and the way he plays reminds me of Shannon Brown. I hope he can recover quickly and spot it again. Another important thing is to recover you muscles at a gym.

I thought X played really well for us when he wasn't injured, and I wish him all the best and that he recovers and finds a spot back in the league

Definitely. The thinking here is that LA still wants Henry around, the same way he essentially rehabbed his wrist(?) injury while technically being a free agent over the summer.
