Justise Winslow in Portland

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

...I think he hurt his tankle

You've inspired me to write a Blazer Xmas carol:
Ankles, Cankles, and Tankles

 

[Haakzilla]

Did he though?

...what's a tankle though?!

 

[Chris Craig]

He must have died

 

[TBpup]

Longest sprained ankle injury ever?

I think it got run over by a tank.

I think it got run over by a tank.

Tank goodness its not career threatening/ending!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Might be dealing with some tanker sores, too.

 

[MickZagger]

This is kind of how Winslow’s career has gone. Nothing new.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Or maybe he got caught up watching Forest Gump. I heard he’s a big fan of Tom Tanks.

And I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat...

It has been since Dec 21 when he injured the ankle. What is the present status? Is he practicing yet? At what level?

No doubt.



I wouldn't be shocked if this isn't even the longest absence for an ankle he's had in the last four years or so.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Someone actually said last summer that he would turn an ankle and would be out 40 games. I cannot remember who posted that but i sure would love to find it.

don't forget Micro-Frankle

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Im moving slow asF today. Woke up with tankle sores on my feet.

 

[julius]

I imagine that Neil would sign him to a 4 year contract if he was still the GM.

Caddy Shack quotes always work....

When did Olshey ever offer a big contract to an injured player? He let Collins walk.

Imagine if somebody told you on Dec 21 his sprained ankle would be season ending. Everybody would be shocked lol

• July 8, 2016: Signed Festus Ezeli to a multi-year contract.

pretty sure that was a two year(half of the four year mentioned) with a team option on the second year?

not a big contract in my book.

I know I’ve said in the past this is who he is and exactly why he never stays on teams long after he left Miami

i believe that the procedure is actually a surgery.

PORTLAND, Ore. (March. 17, 2023) – Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow sustained a left ankle sprain Dec. 21 at Oklahoma City. Post All-Star break, Winslow received a second opinion, and a subsequent bone morrow aspirate concentrate procedure was performed in March to address continued left ankle discomfort.

He will continue his rehab regimen and be re-evaluated in the coming weeks.

 

[Cugel]

Unload him. Can't stay healthy.

At his price I'd keep him for bench depth if his ankle heals. Not a lot of vets with his skill set that come that cheap.

Seriously? Over a sprained ankle? The Blazers don't need this.

 

[BassPlaya]

Thats not an ankle....it's a cankle!

This is exactly what they need. More ping pong balls.

We don't need him back anyway, but he needs to be gone next year.

 

[Pinwheel1]

That is too bad. I like his physicality for his position. But it is hard to ignore his weird ass injuries. Still, for the cheapest vet salary possible, (1.5? ) I would still consider bringing him back next year if the medical staff felt good about it.

I read that as "upload him" at first. Like, he'd be more useful as an AI chat bot than as a basketball player, at this point.
