Update on Kanter's health

[Natebishop3]

They played some audio on the Afternoon Drive with Travis and Chad Doing.

It's not sounding good. He can't move his arm. He said the doctors told him he could hurt it worse. Not sounding good at all.

 

[Chris Craig]

Shit

[Chris Craig]

Didn't they relocate it

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I’m not sure that’s how it works haha

 

[Natebishop3]

I almost wonder if you sit him for this series in hopes that you can still get past Denver or San Antonio.

And thus the legend of Meyers is born. First player with a quintuple double you heard it here first

Well his shoulder was dislocated or out of place. You put it back in place

Now I'm really, Really, REALLY hoping to face the Spurs. Meyers vs. Poetl, fine. Meyers vs. Jokic - we're probably swept (not Hyperbole).

Meyers may actually be semi-effective against Jokic. He does decent against slow plodding centers.

 

[SIeepwalker]

It will get us used to having to start Meyers when the Finals are in Toronto later

Dwight was tweeting the opposite earlier today.

They played an actual clip from Kanter..... so I don't know

[Chris Craig]

I see

Thanks for ruining our strategy Dwight

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Is this some gamesmanship possibily?

It wouldn't surprise me.

It also wouldn't surprise me if he was in fact working out his injured arm, and then the pain got steadily worse.

No way to know.

I read your post then.... I looked at your avatar...

I imagine there is a certain amount of pain. I’m no medical professional, wonder what the difference is between a separated and dislocated shoulder is.

Seperated shoulder is damage to the ligaments that help hold your shoulder together. The ligaments are either stretched or torn. A discolated shoulder is when the bones (your upper arm and shoulder socket) seperate.

I seem to remember Przybilla dislocating his shoulder and missing 2-3 weeks. Pretty sure that Steve Blake had a dislocated shoulder and missed several weeks too. If Kanter is back playing in 5 days, it would have to have been a minor dislocation

speaking of Przybilla, anybody else remember when he had a contusion on his....ahem...jewels, and missed a couple of weeks?

It’s a separation, not a dislocation. Different part of the shoulder.

thanks!

 

[BlayZa]

my body is not ready for Meyers vs Jokic

 

[Wade Garrett]

But Damian's still playing, right?
Man injuries....the fucking equalizer.
The way he was celebrating in the dogpile I'm guessing he'll play.

He said that he was heavily drugged and he was so excited about the win that he just tuned it out, but his shoulder hurt a lot.

Yes. Wookee and I were talking to Barrett and Rice after a game and they gave some pretty vivid detail. Big as a volleyball IIRC

Well, considering how often Mike said players would add 15 pounds of pure muscle during the off season, I'm sure that was embellished a bit.

In addition to seemingly being a terrific person, I'm guessing Enes is one tough SOB..that coupled with his pure joy of this team he'll probably play, but to what effectiveness?
Now on the other hand if he flat out can't go, then he's really really hurt.
