I think it's unlikely because the NBA wants to be in the Olympics and they won't be in the Olympics if they don't do the FIBA championships.soxhop411 said:I said this in the other thread but I wonder if this injury causes the NBA to pull out of the tourney.
Are you insane? It's a scrimmage.Dropkick Izzy said:Definitely brutal, but you cancel the game over it? Really?
Kinda my (admittedly undereducated) thought as well. Obviously will take a while, but that's gotta be a pure tibia fracture, with hopefully not much else.Blacken said:I guess the best news is that that's a bone. Bones can heal.
I only know a bit from really fucking up my shin a few years ago. (Not to this degree, but well off-plumb.) Where's DRS when you (wish you didn't) need him?DannyDarwinism said:Kinda my (admittedly undereducated) thought as well.

I believe Radsoxfan is a Port Cellar dweller MD who could shed some light. There's just something more visceral to see these fractures as opposed to even severe ACL/MCL's. It's hard to grok that the prognosis can actually be better.Blacken said:I only know a bit from really fucking up my shin a few years ago. (Not to this degree, but well off-plumb.)

Would a hug help? I think you need a hug.

If I was there and saw that, I would be leaving anyway. That's a fucking mood killer if there ever was one.Dropkick Izzy said:If people paid FUCKING MONEY to watch said scrimmage, I hope they were all refunded.
And yeah, you definitely need a hug.

Laughter is the best medicine, right?I haven't seen an NBA player broke that badly in Vegas since Antoine Walker.
For some bewildering reason I decided to click on this link. I then saw the still they provided of his landing and immediately changed my mind. Jesus Christ.cheekydave said:

Probably was a crack like a gunshot. Bones do that especially the big ones.bosoxsue said:If we think seeing it was bad, I can only imagine being near him and hearing it.
Shows what I know: it's not closer in FIBA. Four feet backboard-to-baseline for both.Blacken said:Windhorst reporting the stanchion was closer to the court (I know it's closer than in the NBA but I thought he said closer than FIBA rules?). If that's the case…I don't really want to follow that up.
Oy.BigSoxFan said:The bone made an appearance, yes. Tough to see in real time though.
