I am going to guess your username was based on this game. Reed gets the credit but Frazier was the one who went off lol.

Man, if he's healthy and playing tonight...the rest of the series is a free roll.

Long term though, this series doesn't mean much. He's got to remain healthy.

I think that not going all in on a playoff series is a dangerous road to go down. At what point does that stop? If it was the second round would you still hold him out if he wasn't 100%

Does the organization really want to message to it's players that they won't try and win at any cost in the playoffs?

It's an ankle sprain it's not like he tore his ACL.. He'll be fine.

His long term health is the cornerstone of the franchise. I get that argument with a normal player, not with a ROTY.

Yeah, if he's playing he's probably good. We have a good medical staff.

36 points, 19 assists, took the ball off the Logo at midcourt. Yeah pretty good game for a game 7 Finals.

its one thing to start walking without a walking boot without a limp, and another to jump, run, lateral quick movements of that foot

i dont think hes playing tonight guys

This isn't a torn ligament. If he can play, he will.

If the team thought there was the potential that he could aggravate the injury and potentially turn this into a long term issue he would have already been ruled out.

This is the playoffs.

Target date should be Saturday, I would be extremely surprised if he plays tonight, but you never know with the Raptors.

Wasn't Scottie at shootaround today? Of course they want to win. But you also have to see the bigger picture. They are going to do a ton of testing on Scottie. If it's okay for Scottie to be out there then he will be out there. If not, then he won't. They aren't going to send out an injured player and risk his health just to try and satisfy Raptor fan's desire to win a playoff round at the beginning of our rebuild. lol.

Any sprain/strain are little tears in the tissue. The word "tear" always sounds bad, it's all about the severity.

Walking boot was precautionary and over kill, but that's what you do with a young franchise cornerstone, you play it safe. The fact that he ditched the walking boot and engaged in some sort of practice tells me it's a grade 1 sprain.

He'll be taped up and go through all the stress tests to determine if he's playing, wouldn't surprise me if he plays.

does anyone here actually think they would risk his longterm health by playing him when if wasnt ready? lol
if they believe he can play safely, he will, if not...he wont.

GO RAPS!

Scottie's health is #1 priority. Remember no one thought we would make the playoffs and no one thought Scottie would be this good in his first year. We should all be happy moving forward even if we get swept.

I'm sure some actually do. There are lots of doctors on here though.

I'm in agreement with those who think Sat makes a lot of sense.

It gives the crowd a chance to see Scottie one more time in person.
Gives Scottie at least one more game of playoff experience, in an elimination situation, assuming we lose Wed
And gives Scottie one whole week to recover.

If these ufc dudes can fight with broken arms and torn acls in both knees one would assume scotty can hoop on a bum ankle

Not all players are equal on this roster, that's just how it is.

If there is a risk for re-injury for the future face of your 2.5 billion dollar franchise, it's not happening.

Slicing and dicing!

I read about Clyde when I was a young kid but seeing these stats and the YouTube as an adult, I'm in awe.
