Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Conspiracy theory: This is a made up injury so he can do conditioning and get back into rythm/shape.
Actual theory: He hurt his wrist ): this was supossed to be his MVP year, sucks man.
Man wtf happened I don’t recall seeing him smack his hand on something or anything.
Kai about to put the team on his back more! Thankfully we have more ball handling players and can manage hopefully with Spence and Hardy facilitating along with some Naji.
How long have wrist injuries needed to recover?
More ball movement for us and to get the offensive system in place. Hope this will make him recover his high level game.
He might have hurt it gaming or having hookah
Fuck
This team can win without him. Not a HUGE deal like it would have been 2 years ago. Hopefully Luka can get some conditioning in and heal his lower body injuries as well.
Made no sense having him play in a gimme game at home against a tanking New Orleans team. Now here we are. Training staff should be fired
Saw this initial tweet and assumed the worst. Then saw Stein’s follow up and I feel a little better. Sounds like it’ll only be a few weeks and some time off might actually be good for Luka. Also a soft part of the schedule coming up should help.
Didn’t see this coming.
I think this is good. He’s clearly still hurt and not in great shape anyway, and they don’t look awful without him.
Fuck. There likely goes our NBA Cup chances, unless Denver implodes tomorrow night. Need to finish 3-1 with a good PD (which we have right now) to have a chance at 1st in the group or one of the best 2nd place teams. Hopefully isn’t much more than a week that he’s out.
Luka plays through way too many injuries man. He’s so fucking stubborn. Literally played through a wrist strain against the hospital Pelicans.
Mavs medical team just lets him do that when they should be sitting him more consistently, very annoying.
Sending healing energy to the Don.
Could be the best thing for him to be honest. Lighter schedule and hopefully taking time to heal and or strength and condition.
Ok this tweet made it sound much more serious but other sites are reporting that he’s only expected to miss a week or so and will be reevaluated on Thanksgiving.
Having said that, this is the second season in the row where we’ve gotten hit with the injury bug. We’re about to start seeing the “our starters have only played X games together” comments soon.
I find it a little weird that he doesn’t know how it happened and said it just started hurting and got worse…
Next 10 games or so we should be able to win without him. Hope he come back fit 🙏🏼
Could this be the year that Luka breaks his 1st team all NBA streak? Society
just hope he stays on top of his conditioning
The funny thing is he had the most rest during this offseason so far and one would think he would be in great shape, no injuries and had condition to play.
But he looks worse in every way possible, not efficient, not playing defence, his 2nd or 3rd injury so far, out of shape(not visibly but he gets tired soooo fast)
Dang it man, not great…at least the rest of our team is better now as far as staying afloat without him
Rest well, king. You’ll be back stronger and healthier.
Am I the only one that thinks the team will be okay? With the depth on this team, I feel like they can hold on while he’s out.
I don’t mind Luka being out for a bit. I hope he spends his off time wisely.
This might be a blessing, let him heal up and rest.
Carpal tunnel syndrome from to much overwatch
Right after the first game where he didn‘t move like a 40 year old, yikes. But it doesn‘t sound too bad, think 4-5 games and he should be back.
Need him well rested in the playoffs. Get your sleep king.
At least it’s only a week potentially. Really need to not fall behind in seeding and win majority of these games that are coming up, the okc game gave me legit hope thinking they can stay afloat but the clutch time towards the end of the game is very concerning seeing as we don’t have anyone besides Kai that can get everyone a good shot and settle everyone down. We make a lot of dumb mistakes so hopefully this will be some learning curves here to help them there
Pain, Anger, Rage, Sadness
Hopefully an opportunity for his leg to heal up and maybe get into better shape
Our next few games. Decent time for him to rest up, get in shape etc
Nuggets
Heat
Hawks
Knicks
Jazz
Blazers
It’s not that bad. No surgery, or anything like that. Expected to miss “multiple games” seems more like a 3-5 game thing.
If you care about that stuff, doesn’t rule out MVP or 1st team all NBA in the slightest.
What will rule him out is media narratives, which y’all seem to like going along with.
Anyway I expect, if anything this will help his shot immensely.
Of course I have tickets to the Knicks game.
If Luka is to miss multiple weeks, he might miss playing against Brunson and the Knicks AGAIN.
We have waited YEARS for Luka and Brunson to face off since Brunson left and it still hasn’t fucking happened.
Hopefully he is back by then and both are healthy November 27.
