out indefinitely, sounds like a weekly thing they have to check until it goes away.
Aaaand it’s over. That explains his poor play lately
Dame will be out indefinitely. DVT can take weeks or months to fully recover from, so it is fair to assume that Dame’s season could be finished.
We’re actually cursed… why couldn’t we just have had 2 more months of no injuries? Every fucking season this happens
good i didn’t want to enjoy basketball anymore anyway
get well soon
As if we weren’t fucked already…
See you all next year!
That’s what has Wemby out for the season, no?
Jesus, that is… Rough. Likely season ender, hopefully not a career ender.
4th straight year ruined by injuries. Can we catch a break
oh man we’re so cooked
Edit: Bucks really cannot just have a single healthy playoff run after that ‘21 title. Hell, even that run Giannis bent his knee the wrong way.
We’re never going to see Dame and Giannis play a playoff series together
As someone who’s been hospitalized for embolisms twice… how does this happen to NBA players? For most of us it seems like the cause is ‘just not moving around enough’ but clearly not the case with them.
Must be that clotting disorder factor V leiden?
Extremely sad day. Love Dame, hope he can bounce back
Giannis luck has been brutal man.
Are you fucking kidding me
Can we be healthy in the playoffs
ONE FUCKING YEAR?????
We are cooked
Seasons over
Once again I ask, who else is thankful they were in the building for game 6 in 2021? Looking like a looooong time before we see anything like that again around here.
Well, fuck!
NOOOOOO
Welp, at least opening day is Thursday I guess.
Mother fucker god dammit. Get well soon Dame
Sucks for Dame. I’m sure he’s devastated.
We weren’t championship contenders, though. This isn’t like a legit chance at a ring was snatched from us or anything like that.
It will be interesting what his long term prognosis is.
Sold our soul for 2021.
Wow. We really did make a deal with the devil for that ring
On a human level, Dame has had a rough couple of years. He went through a bitter divorce with too. I hope he has a strong support system around him.
I remember where I was at work when I heard we traded for dame. I started shaking. I told everyone who would listen to me. I work in Illinois around people who don’t watch the NBA lmao
Really sad how it’s all worked out.
God damn it dude…and there’s nothing he could have done to realistically “prevent” this either. Just crappy luck.
However it’s good they caught it and are treating it, bc if that clot were to dislodge it can cause some pretty serious and life threatening issues. Hopefully he can get cleared at some point, but if not, that’s totally understandable…this is not something you should fuck around with.
The silver lining—
Usually the Bucks medical staff is great, which would give Dame time to fully recover.
I can’t speak as to whether he came back too early last year.
All in all, from what I can tell Dame is a good person, and we should all wish him well.
With luck, at some point we may actually see Dame and Giannis in a playoff series together, maybe 2026.
I’ve often been the hopium/ copium guy. My hopium / copium now is for Dame to make a full recovery no matter how long it takes.
These meds are serious and are taken for several months. Get well, Dame
