KAT is important but have also an history of poor play off game. I feel sorry he got injured but if this help ANT to move to next step , I take it.

His wrist? Possible concussion? If Ant is out tomorrow our slim chance goes to no chance.

Are you trying to win the Doom and Gloom Presidential election?

This one got to make the Sports Center #1 play. A play in the same league with MJ, LBJ and Giannis.

Dude, at his age I used to think it was funny to jam or sprain my wrist.

Anthony Edwards thank you!

Wish he could make his crunch time free throws but that block at the end was pure will to win and one of the most athletic plays I have ever seen. My word.

Put the team on his back tonight. I know you're built like a tank man, but please stay healthy, we need you..

We need more from slo-mo and Conley, tonight they combined for 8 points on 14 shots.
Jaden 11-8-6 on 7 FGA with zero turnovers, a quietly very solid all around game from him tonight and several tough rebounds in traffic was really nice to see.
Sucks Morris aggravated his hammy. I expect him to miss some time.

Nice minutes from TJ Warren. He was turning into a really good player before the injuries derailed his career.
If he can add a little scoring, it will help a lot.

I thought we would run out of gas for sure after the Pacers finally woke up and erased that 17 point lead, but we had just enough to win.
Rudy owned their big men in the first half and that helped us build enough of a lead to win.

This feels like the best possible scenario right ?

I don't know. Are they removing it? I hear that is bad long term, I'd rather have him do repair and miss the rest of the whole season and playoffs and be back for years healthy. If its an actual repair that wont affect him long term, then this is great.

So repair is the more time consuming procedure. Miniscus are basically pads at the knee joint on the ends of your Tibia and femur. Without them you get bone on bone action. Each knee having two means one can be removed and the knee will still be OK in the short to medium term but sooner or later your knee will go bad, arthritis will set in, structural degradation will begin and eventually the knee will need to be replaced. The upside being that removing it means a quick recovery because there's nothing there to heal.

Repair means they're trying to save the knees long term structural integrity and you therefore have to wait for cartilage to heal, if it heals at all which is not guaranteed.

Woj says repair, and that's the longer term recovery.
But that repair isn't 100% guaranteed to stick either, could eventually end up with a re-injury and removal.

If he had chosen the removal he would have been able to start rehabbing in a couple weeks, with repair it will probably be 6+ weeks before he can do any activity, so he is going to be out of shape too when he returns.

This choice will hopefully be good for him long term, but it's bad news for our goals for this season.

I appreciate getting the news this way, right after watching the Wolves win in dramatic fashion without KAT.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
