Hope he sits until this is healed very well.

I don't want to see the Blazers have another case of what happened to Hood or myself.

The patellar tendon isn't thin like the the Achilles it's so thick it's almost unheard of that it would rupture ( it's so thick and strong that sometimes they take the middle third out of it to build someone a new ligament). He could further aggravate what's already going on or theoretically tear it (which would be really bad) but try to find an NBA player who ruptured their patellar tendon... I don't think it's happened.

Jeremy Lin and Andre Roberson had complete ruptures in the same season and it effectively ended both of their careers.

But, I think there's been only one other case in NBA history so it's very rare.

For example, Jaylen Brown has been dealing with it and he sat one game and was back against the Hornets.

I’m the case of Snell, why do we keep signing free agents who are injured?

was he injured when Portland signed him?

Please don't let facts get in the way of unfair criticism.

Was he not?

Apparently not. He was signed August 10th. This CBS Sports article says he was injured the 3rd week of September:

Did they have any update pre or post game yesterday of how Norm recovery is going?
