Wasn't he actively holding the injured area with two hands at different points? I just couldn't tell what leg it was in the moment.
Of course he’s going to say that but KP went to the locker room with what looked like two separate lower body injuries on two different legs. He also was absent from the locker room post-game speech unless he was off to the side but every other player was visible.
I saw him use his right hand to hold the outside of his right knee when he was in a defensive crouch. I did not love that.
Yeah the only good thing is that if wasn’t the calf but Joe knows nothing yet.
He didn’t go to the locker room. He was on the bench no warmup on for the rest of the game and seemed to be walking fine into the locker room after the game ended.
He was on the bench after he was pulled from the game. He may have briefly went to the locker room, but he did stay for the end of the game.
I assumed he went to the locker room after the left knee/lower leg but he def went following his previous 2H rotation as it was reported.
Yeah I did think that but you guys saw him on the bench. It sure looked like one of those “directly to the locker room w staff” type of injuries.
The way we respond without him and having Kornet/Horford to take his minutes don’t give me any concern whatsoever if he can’t go.
Keep in mind that Wemby makes Kristaps look small both in height and wingspan. What a world we live in.
Exactly: no KP isn't going to magically help Dallas to contain the dribble. The Cs have plenty of sets to create offense with Kornet, and Horford can play more minutes with the nice rest between 2 and 3 and (if necessary) 4, 5, 6 and 7.
When he gets pushed off balance it looks like Bambi on skates.. legs going everywhere. His legs are so long that it looks like if takes forever for joints to rotate to get back in position to land correctly to support him. Kind of looked like he caught an edge of his sneaker as well which further threw him off balance.
Kristaps could have a leg amputation scheduled for next week and Mazzulla would have him listed as questionable for G3 and beyond. Let’s not forget he said KP was “fine” in his postgame presser. These are not words to be taken at face value.
KP is done. Initial words from Joe were likely KP/docs indicating it was a minor ankle sprain, then they ran imaging and saw this horseshit.
Never a bad time to mention this charity that we were pointed to when Chris passed away. He would have had some lengthy explanation and then a dumbed down version us stupid folks would understand either giving us hope or have us running for the bottle.
