Mahinmi injured, Wizards not expected to win title without him 

Post#1 » by penbeast0 » Thu Oct 3, 2019 9:09 pm

Ian Mahinmi is out with a strained right Achilles tendon.

Mahinmi will be treated conservatively before being re-evaluated in six weeks.

A strained achilles for an NBA player... eh, he'll be fine. Wiz world title hopes are still in tact... in a galaxy far far away.

Anyway, that's not what got Achilles -- the gods were against him.

Be nice if no one else gets injured during TC!

I would think its a more Fake injury. Save a roster sport for someone else not milking the clock for a bunch of money?????

?? Mahinmi has a guaranteed contract. We could cut him (& owe him his money of course) or trade him. But calling him "injured" when he's not wouldn't provide any kind of help.

Not only the worst free agency signing in Wizards history, probably also the dumbest.

I hate to be a downer. But I think the Wiz have no chance for a championship this year if Ian is out for an extended period of time.

There goes our season. Officially out of the hunt even before the season starts.
