Bruh this is crazy. I know the game isn't over yet but congrats Hawks fans on being way less grumpy than you must have been two hours ago when they said Trae wasn't playing.

(And get well quick Giannis, of course.)

You're likely more suseptible to injuries if you don't let your body rest properly.
Yeah but this sort of injury is a freak injury. Not something like a hamstring or ankle.


True but in general, there seems to be more injuries this year than normal.

You're crazy, he damaged the knee. I tore my meniscus, didn't really realize it at the moment, but later that night when the adrenaline faded and my the knee cooled down, I couldn't put weight on it. I'm quite certain he's done. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't see a chance in hell that he could of hyperextended the knee like that and it be fine.

Not sure what they were thinking when I saw that too.


I think Klay was walking and then jumping up and down to test his knee immediately after his first injury.


Yep I remember that and he even came back in the game to take his free throws.

Then he missed the entire next season.

Couldn't resist and found a still photo on twitter. Nauseating. No way he should've been putting weight on that.

You know i've been waiting for this Reddish is my guy being a duke fan and hawks fan. He was the guy i wanted in that draft and his defense is very very good and his length is severely needed out there for guys like middleton. If Cam get out of his own head and believe he is a great player he has the most upside of any player on the entire team.

This is true but that looked more like a accident, similar to Kyrie falling on his foot.those type of plays can always happen.


I get that, more of a sign against the compressed scheduling this season. With how pervasive injuries (whether nagging or one-off) have been this season to major stars or contributors - Giannis/Mitchell/Conley/Kawhi/AD/CP3/Embiid among others - it feels somewhat unfortunately karmic agains the league’s decision in that regard.

I ripped my achilles from my calf muscle and still walked off a soccer field on my own power. There was no writhing in pain, there was no injury stopping play. The ball was naturally kicked out, and I turned to my coach and said, "I just ripped my **** achilles." You have no clue what you're talking about.

No asterisk necessary, it’s fair if literally every team’s best player is hurting…
