Marc Stein ready to report it soon


Man that's gotta hurt, if Kidd gets them in the playoffs

Then he'll get COY, no doubt about it


How sad we won't be capable of catching them

That's how EPICALLY HORRIFIC this season has been

They could still land on their feet

But I think Orlando-Boston may start to make a push

Damn, first Randle now Parker. Brandon Knight playing like a star is the reason why they have been winning though.

Injuries truly are a terrible part of the game. The poor Bucks fans--they finally get it going and bang 25 games in--what a travesty.
RIP Crushalot😞

You can feel sad for both- it's not like sadness has to be rationed and only given out based on a hierarchy.

I hate injuries- they are ruining the league.

Unrealized potential is always sad. Hopefully he comes back strong.

ACL good reason to go pro but do this injury seems almost epidemic among younger guys?

If so, is the rigors of the pro game too much for youthier legs?
Not so much the daily play, but he strength of "Men" vs teens?

This is another reason why high draft picks don't mean nothing, these kids are dropping like fliees. The top 7 picks are all injured, and lets not even talk about Bennette, noel, shump, Early, I mean if i think hard, it's been a lot of young kids getting major injuries during their rookie season.

I don't understand why this is happening so frequent..It's crazy

Union wants these kids in the league at age 16 if they could but not every kid can handle the physical rigors.
Im sure the tens of millions that are invested in these kids that the league is concerned.

Back in the day Rookies were 22 years old and only the superstars got to start right away. Fans will scream a coach is keeping the hoot down once a kid breaks out. Fact is sometimes holding them back until they adjust is why players succeed. Fans rarely consider that.

I'm not sure about that, Kg, jr, kobe, kemp, just to name a few high school players that came straight to the league. ACL injuries are at a all time high, and i have been watching basketball (very closely) since the early 90's. I never seen this many season ending injuries to rookies.

I guess those Melo comparisons don't hold water anymore. Anyways he will make it back in a year or two.

The bucks really shouldn't have drafted Parker with that Greek kid on the roster. GIANNIS is a very scary dude at the 3.

Mavs could have drafted him, but they gave up their pick for cap space!

You guys may be on to something. These young guys are going from 0-100 at 19-20yrs old

We had our own problems with Shumpert and Lin
