Hurt himself at beginning of SL and then before training camp. Maybe setbacks while rehabbing.

He will be a while.

There haven’t been any surgeries that we know of so the long recovery from a bone bruise and no updates from the team are just odd. That he is on the bench and traveling with the team is also odd to me. There has been no updates on his condition or his timeline. I’m not saying it’s anything but I am curious. We could use another defensive minded guard on the depth chart. Hopefully he is in the gym putting up 1000 3’s a day

Maybe, but let's be honest. Would you trust any updates given by the team anyway seeing how theyve handled past injuries? Instead of feeding us BS, they've decided to say nothing.

Teams are obligated to tell regular health updates of the athletes when they injured? Was that signed off on by the players union?

This a new one for me?

https://official.nba.com/nba-injury-report-2024-25-season/#:~:text=NBA%20teams%20must%20report%20information,the%20day%20of%20the%20game

NBA teams must report information concerning player injuries, illnesses and rest for all NBA games. By 5 p.m. local time on the day before a game (other than the second day of a back-to-back), teams must designate a participation status and identify a specific injury, illness or potential instance of a healthy player resting for any player whose participation in the game may be affected by such injury, illness or rest. For the second game of a back-to-back, teams must report the above information by 1 p.m. local time on the day of the game.0the%20game.

I was on the McCullar train for a lot of the year as he seemed to be the perfect Grimes replacement - a wing who does a lot of things well and plays like a Vet. Was thrilled to get him so late, even with the injury issue. We just have no idea what's going on here. I think he absolutely could be a contributor at some point - if healthy he was probably the most NBA ready of our draft group, which is saying a lot. I guess it won't be this year, but who knows?

I think sometimes with injuries even the player and team don't even know?

This article is misleading. He provides zero clarity. The original author Edwards is just guessing at this point. No one is asking questions to the Knicks about McCullar or offering anything other than vague, wide ranging guess.

What more are you expecting? I’m honesty curious what level of injury reporting folks are expecting?

Like weekly updates on activity level?

Dude is injured 🤷‍♂️

He’s been on the bench for home games all season, I think. Seen him a bit, but can’t confirm every game.

Aren't reporters able to see some parts of a team's practice?

If healthy, he did appear to be NBA ready.

I'll be honest...I haven't thought of him at all since SL, until I saw this thread.

Strange, and a bit annoying, but it is what it is.
