Read that link and he is talking about ankle, unfortunately.He could've wrote that more accurately but i think thats what he meant.

Real bummer, considering he would've got more time if you decide to tank at last.

Yes. Its pretty clear. I would guess that the word means more "joint" than "wrist" and it is therefore talking about his ankle.

No. This is how you develop young players. Their bodies are not accustomed to a long NBA season. You have to evaluate alot of things to determine if they are able to play extended minutes. They also develop poorly if you play them all together. We are obviously not trying to make the playoffs.

What they are doing with playing time makes perfect sense to me.

Alex Len is in his 4th year, he is fully capable of playing more minutes. The Suns are last in the West and they are giving all the center minutes to 34 year old Tyson Chandler over a 23 year old. That makes perfect sense to me. :crazy:

Yes, he means ankle, we sometimes use the same word for wrist and ankle and google translates it as joint. I've searched and couldn't find any word about it in Croatian nor Suns media so I hope it is false alarm.

I hope Bender works on his body while recovering. He already has BBIQ and feel for the game.

Pretty incredible that 3 of 4 of the suns top draft picks have sustained major injuries in their first two years in the league. This franchise man.... sometimes i feel like a masochist rooting for them.

Dragan Bender because of wrist injury and surgery that requires recovery from 3-4 months completed his first NBA season

That's weird. I just used google translate and it says "ankle". Maybe he edited the word or something.

Anyways, that sucks. Less likely to be traded I guess though.

That is crazy. Of our last four first picks, 3 with big injuries. Booker with that damn turf toe.

Lol, goddammit.... so does that mean a space opens up for us to try to also develop Jones Junior? Does he now get Court time?

Doubt it, aside from athleticism, I'm not sure he has any NBA level skill.

I don't understand. I do trust Pick as a source, but he's having surgery today? And there's no word about it from the Suns? What the hell is going on with injury information this year?

Yes, that is strange unless it has something to do with HIPAA. But very mysterious once again.
