X rays negative.
MRI today.
Let’s hope it’s a sprain he can come back from in weeks rather than months.

Indeed, let's hope. My fear is he tore something that will require surgery.

In other news.....

Of course it's VERY early but......

The Cavs, Magic, or Pacers are the only undefeated teams in the East and at least one if not all three of the following teams would not be in the playoffs if the regular season were to end today - the Celtics, Bucks, and Raptors.

In the West, 8 teams are 2-1 right now. The Lakers, Mavs, and Nuggets would not be in the playoffs if the regular season ended today.

One year ago today I took these photos. If I'm not mistaken, it was the last time he (and GiGi) were in the Staples Center. Heartbreaking.

3-5 weeks.
So not great - but it looked a lot worse.

Dwane Casey and Scott Brooks watch.
Will either be fired by Valentine's Day?

Golden State is a completely different team now that Draymond is back healthy and playing 30mpg+. Looking good against a solid Pacers team tonight.

Embiid was a monster tonight.

Yup. Helped that Miami had a skeleton crew and only had Achiuwa and Olynk healthy in the front court...but sixers are still without Harris and Melton, so a win is win!

Lost by 9 to a "solid" Pacers team last night.
The Warriors shouldn't be losing to the Pacers by anything with the players they (the Warriors) had playing last night.
FIRE KERR!

The Pacers are 4th in the East.
They finished last season 4th in the East, with 45 wins.
Golden State finished last season 15-50.

Curry > anyone on the Pacers.
The rest of the Pacers starters/roster > Golden State's.
I know Brogdon isn't a well known name but he was solid last season and this season is one of the better points in the league. Sabonis is young and currently averaging 21.8 PPG, 12.5 RPG and 5.8 APG.

Pacers don't have an All Star but they have a starting lineup of probably 3 top 50 players.

Yes. Brogdon is quietly becoming a great PG. Oladipo (out last night) is starting to get himself back into form. Sabonis is a beast. Brogdon Sabonis Oladipo and Turner are a really good core of players.

Not to mention TJ Warren - who is out a while with an injury.

God totally forgot about him. 1-5 they may have the best roster in the east once he gets back (especially since Kyrie doesn't want to be in brooklyn anymore already). I guess I would still give the edge to the Bucks and Brooklyn starting 5s, but not by a ton and mainly due to their high end players being Giannis and KD/Kyrie.

Harden to the Nets and they kept Kyrie!

4 1st rounders and some solid pieces to Houston. Cavs got in on the deal and got some guys too.

Just wild.

[pdub]

Wow.

Two headcases ( Harden, Kyrie ) and a dude who doesn't take shit/drama ( Durant ).
The talent is immense.
And while different ( b/c Deron and Pierce and Garnett were past their primes ), the Nets did this before.

[Deleted User 289]

Obviously I'm not 100% sure but my strong suspicion is the Nets are looking to move Kyrie.

[pdub]

Pacers involved in the trade too?

I’d think so too. Pieces don’t fit.
