what about the concussion?

Concussion symptoms can sometimes later, but are typically present right after. Either they weren't there immediately, they missed them, or they tried to cover it up so he didn't have to go through the concussion protocol.

Regardless, they did the right thing by sending him to the hospital to get a CT scan, as they likely don't have that equipment at WFC.

How much would this sort of surgery limit his ability to train? Is it really just contact that is the problem? Jojo tends to lose his fitness pretty quickly, so if he can get some work into his legs he might be okay.

I think Im working through the stages of grief. I can't believe I allowed myself to look too far ahead with this team.

Can you even perform surgery on the head of a person with concussion like symptoms?

I expected better but I should have known that wouldn't be the case.

This 2-4 week estimate I see thrown around is that starting from today or is that starting from the day he has surgery?

Waive Demetrius Jackson and sign Christian Wood or Shawn Long.

We should have an open roster spot already after waiving James Young.

It's got to be from the surgery I'd think

He showed signs of a concussion right away. He opened his eyes and you could tell he couldn't see. His eyes were fluttering up and down with a confused look. Then he fell to a knee in the tunnel. I was shocked when they announced "no concussion".

Yeah....when he went down to one knee in the tunnel that should have been a clear indicator. Not for our team of incompetents though.

If we sign Shawn Long we will soon be playing without Embiid and Simmons.

Idk, these week to week and half estimates after surgery of other players make me assume it's from now.

Early indications are [Jason] Terry could miss seven to 10 days following Friday morning's surgery, according to a source. The Mavs, winners of nine of 10 games since the All-Star break and seeking a 10th straight home victory Friday night against Sacramento, know the time frame could grow depending on the severity of the damage, and that won't be known until the surgeons complete their work.

"He [Joe Johnson] underwent reconstructive surgery for an orbital fracture,"
Dr. Edward Joganic, who performed the operation, said in a
statement.

"Surgery went smoothly and he is expected to recover fully,"
Joganic said. "We will continue to evaluate Joe and assess his
ability to play in the remainder of the playoffs in one week."

Could be lengthier, but seems like initial estimates.

If only we had a guy who could roll out of bed and give us 20 and 10 but we traded him away lol. Trade back for Okafor lmao.

That's messed up, if not exactly surprising.

Y'all need to get him healed up. I want that crazy 2nd round matchup I was promised.

I really hate the term blessing in disguise when talking about injuries because there’s never any blessing in disguise however this should allow Brett to play Fultz more. It should also allow Simmons be more assertive scoring. If they both step up then when Embiid comes back we should be that much better.

Love the element Kelle will eventually bring to the team but I'm not sure he's ready for that level of responsibility just yet. I would assume he needs to get back into playing shape and get comfortable with finding his spot on the floor. I'm guessing the Simmons Saric show is on full display.

Seriously!!! Am I wrong for thinking he should be going in for the procedure tonight?

At the very least it should be scheduled by now. Each day of recovery is crucial.
