Notice Blazers announce Jusuf Nurkic suffered a non-displacement fibular fracture in his right leg.

First round schedule: Game one-April 15th (2 weeks). Game 7-April 30th (4 weeks). Perfect....

You would think we'd get used to this shit after all these years.....

 

[Scalma]

Seems like 4 weeks is standard

Here's the thing though, Capela had a fractured fibula, but I don't think it was non displaced fracture like Nurkic. There's a difference there. Just not sure how much.

Ill take the blame. I got a joel przybilla jersey long ago. A week later he slipped jn the shower and re injured his knee. I bought a matthews jersey. A week later he tore his achillies. I bought a lamucus jersey, and he bolted to san anotonio. Guess what i ordered yesterday? Unfortunately, not a meyers leonard jersey. Yeah that was mean. Fuck it. Im in a bad mood now.

What the Fuck were you thinking? Damn u! Sly ban this MF asap.

 

[Sinobas]

If he can't make it back in time for the playoffs, there's no point in even making the playoffs. Sans Nurkic, I see us probably winning 3 of the next 7 games. But we have a 2 game lead on Denver plus tie breaker. So if we go 3-4, they'd need to go 6-1 to overtake us...which looks very unlikely given their schedule.

Capelas original press release said he'd be reevaluated in four weeks. He was back playing the same week.

There's hope here.

This is why I only rock retro jerseys

Sigh.....

 

[BBert]

This is what happens when we get even a taste of the good life. You get too high, there's further to fall.

I saw that injury yesterday and figured it would be an ankle sprain at worse. ugh

Or did it happen when he took the ball the length of the court and ended up crashing out of bounds under the basket? I was worried he'd injured himself at the time.

 

[Hobbesarable]

damn, all we got left is Meyers with two herniated discs? and Noah for some PF/C, we are in friggin trouble

I am impressed by our team this season, but we need to have Nurkic completely healthy for next season. Shut him down for the rest of this season and get him ready for next year.

That's just another example of a 4 week healing time, which would mean Nurk would probably miss the playoffs. We'll be swept without him. May as well tank now. Fuck...how many times are we going to flip flop between tanking and wanting to make the playoffs?

 

[Sinobas]

The rest of the season needs to be operation "Pump up Crabbe and Turner's Trade Value"

 

[oldfisherman]

Its April 1st somewhere now. Hope this is a very bad sick prank.

 

[PDXFonz]

Its April 1st somewhere now. How this is a very bad sick prank.

It's April 1st in Bosnia. I'm not holding my breath but if it is a joke then somebody should be fired!

Who said it'll be 4 weeks though? Press release says he'll be reevaluated in two. Capelas press release said he'd be reevaluated in four and he was playing that same week. My guess is Capelas injury was not a non displaced fracture.

Cursed.

 

[Binx]

Here we go again. Good Lord. I can't take this. I really can't. What a cursed franchise. I've never seen anything like it.

Re-evaluated, not return. Another poster found other examples of this injury and they were all out around 4 weeks. It's dangerous to rush back too soon.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

This should make it crystal clear. NOBODY EVER EVER EVER SAY THE K WORD WHEN TALKING ABOUT A CENTER ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!

A couple of you said that word when you 'hoped' nothing would happen to Nurk's *****. Don't do that anymore. No more saying it to be funny, No more saying knock on wood after saying that curse word. Don't fucking say it!!!!!

Utterance of that word should be a ban able offence of 1 year. I am serious about this. @SlyPokerDog, @DennyCrane.

I am livid right now.

and Nurks 280, what's Capela 215-220?

K word?

Kursed?

 

[Pinwheel1]

I am not that bummed........yet.

If it is minor and the worst case scenario is we miss the playoffs this year, that is not that bad. With Nurk we were winning one game at the most against the Warriors. Either way I am still excited about the future.

If the injury is somehow worse than it sounds, well then I will freak. But for now we can lose and still head into the off season feeling good about the team.

Either way they need to shut him down for the season

Right, but there are different types of fractures, and in Capelas case I couldn't find anything that suggested it was a non displaced one. I guess we'll find out.

 

[Po'sFinest]

I don't see what the big deal is. They'll re-evaluate in 2 weeks then we'll go from there. We are not winning the championship this year. Even with Nurk.

This is about next year and beyond. Who gives a damn. We have a center of the future that's all it matters

The best case scenario is that we miss the playoffs and get a higher lotto pick. Because there's a good chance we won't have Nurk for the playoffs even if we do make it. But now, it's very unlikely that we miss the playoffs even with his injury.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

K word?

Kursed?

Now is not the time for jokes. You know exactly the word I mean. Ban it.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Nurkic felt this is the only fair given KD is injured also, so he injured himself
says he doesnt want to beat them in 4

 

[KingSpeed]

We will make playoffs. Hopefully, we don't start playoffs til Sunday and then game 2 isn't til like Wednesday. He could easily be back by then. I'm not too worried. He won't miss the whole series. First game at home isn't til like 3 weeks from now.
