Notice The CJ injury update thread

[Orion Bailey]

this gives Anfernee a chance to go nuts and dominate.

This.

Were not winnjng it all anyhow and have the excuse of cj going down if we slip and get bounced in the first round.

Lets see what we hsve in this kid.

 

[tlongII]

What the hell is that? Lol

 

[hoopsjock]

I know it's not funny but I pictured about 87 of us simultaneously googling what the fuck a popliteous sprain is and laughed out loud.

Seriously I've never heard of that.

 

[H.C.]

Just stability then.
Hopefully he'll be good to go in a week or two.

 

[Chris Craig]

3-6 weeks is the healing time I am seeing for that

I kinda did the same thing though. Haha.

Per Woj....

C.J. McCollum has a strained popliteus in his left knee and will be re-evaluated in a week, per Adrian Wojnarowski.

Ive seen everything from 3-5 days to 2-6 weeks. Seems to depend a lot on how bad the strain is. One thing that seems common though is people say that coming back early causes it to happen again.

I don't have a twitter account but I surely hope those who do. Go troll that Basketballrehab twitter guy.
@SlyPokerDog @PtldPlatypus @Chris Craig @BonesJones

I don't know of any other twitter users or rather can't think of any.

 

[tlongII]

Well that sounds encouraging. We’re still in it.

Let me do it for you... I’m good on trolling lol

Okay then, lets not pull a Brandon Roy (bring him back too soon) and let him rest until the playoffs (or close to).

 

[noknobs]

Playoffs begin in four weeks. Hope is still alive.

 

[cityofroses]

Wow thank god! Looks like couple of weeks of rest should do him good with cj returning the last couple games to get ready for the playoffs

 

[CupWizier]

There is a huge difference between people who want to trade CJ, people who want CJ to use his skills more as a playmaker than a scorer, and a small percentage that just want him gone.

Please don't lump all 3 together. I'm guessing even the group that firmly wants CJ off the team didn't want him injured after the trade deadline and possibly killing his value this summer. The Blazers haven't had to deal with many serious injuries lately so this one would be pretty devastating.

There were several posts by some that claimed CJ was one of the worst players on the team. I'm sure that's who they are referencing.

Now let’s win all our home games.

That's encouraging. Steph Curry had an MCL sprain and he missed 15 days before back on the floor playing.

 

[Propagandist]

I know a doctor expert. Waiting on best/worse case news...will post if it's different than what we are reading.

 

[CupWizier]

Now let’s win all our games.

fify

 

[Chris Craig]

In the mean time we will have guys stepping up...could do good for our chemistry. Got to look at the positives.

 

[hoopsjock]

Yes, that "several" would be the small percentage I referenced in my post. I find it hard to believe anyone would have wanted to just cut him or for him to get injured.

 

[James lamphear]

If just a 1grade he will probably be back in couple weeks
If it is Grade 2 3 to 6 weeks
Grade 3 3 to 6 months

 

[DDolla]

Hood starting as our SG? Yes or No?

Neither do I. Did someone say that?

 

[tlongII]

Sure why not? Curry should get some run too.

 

[James lamphear]

That's what I would do but I am not Stotts.
