Whelp.....he's young, hope he heals quickly. Didn't Meyers have the same thing happen a couple seasons ago?

Pretty much derailed his career for the most part. Took all of one season and part of the next to start playing well again. At least Zack's injury was early in the season.

The difference is, was Leonards struggles due to the surgery or due to his mental state as he has always been fragile mentally. Collins is a tough kid so I don't anticipate that being an issue with him.

Can’t disagree but there is no question Meyers was playing well when he got injured.

I question your definition of well.

Reports say that Hood and Whiteside are probable. That's our best case scenario for a win.
