anybody know what recovery time is required for this surgery?

Part of being a good athlete is being durable. You have to take the bumps and bruises and fatigue and recover quickly. In hindsight, Collins may not have played enough at Gonzaga to really demonstrate whether he had that quality. :dunno:

Grant Hill
 
This is concerning. He's effectively had two season-ending injuries this year, and both times, it's not particularly obvious that anything happened. Routine movements with no major impact shouldn't result in surgery.
 
The worst part is our idiot GM will probably give him big contract. He is useless. And made out of glass. Get rid of him

huh?

Hill was a 4 year starter at Duke IIRC

ok....maybe you're saying Hill spent the first 10 years in college and the NBA being really healthy, then fell apart?

So you're saying Hill wasn't injury prone and didn't have any major issues with injuries during his career?
 
Why is it that the bigs who don’t get injured either get traded or leave Portland?

ZACH COLLINS TO MISS REMAINDER OF 2020 PLAYOFFS


PORTLAND, Ore. (August 21, 2020)–Further imaging shows Portland forward Zach Collins with a hairline medial malleolus stress fracture of his left ankle, it was announced today by Trail Blazers president of basketball operations Neil Olshey. The injury will require surgery to repair. A date for surgery is to be determined. Collins will miss the remainder of the postseason.


Collins, 22, appeared in 11 games (all starts) for the Trail Blazers this season, posting averages of 7.0 points (47.1% FG, 36.8% 3-PT, 75.0% FT), 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.45 blocks.

Can we replace him since he's got a season ending injury? Can we bring Ariza back now?

That would be huge, we definitely should be able to get someone in here. Unfortunately, if we do bring someone in I think the quarantine process won't allow them in games soon enough to help us with the Lakers. If we advance though that would be great.
 
With the 16th pick we need to draft a power forward or trade for a veteran. He obviously can't stay healthy and when he's not injured he's allways in foul trouble. That's just facts.

Neil better be on the phone right now to bring Ariza to the bubble
 
well, sure makes it tough to justify spending a lot of money for his second contract. is extension eligible after the season.

where did I say that?

I really don't see how Hill, who was extremely durable for his 4 year college career and first 6 years in the NBA, but started to have injury issues at 28 is a good comp for 22 year old Zach. Hill broke down after about 600 games and 10 seasons. Zach might be breaking down after 200 games and a little over 2 seasons

Where did I say that's what you said? It was a question. He was able to recover and get healthy to finish his career after missing so many games as Hill had 4 consecutive seasons where he averaged less than 12 games per season (missed one complete season). I would call that injury prone. Collins has missed most of one season, He hardly has that much of a history. The point is, players who have a history of injuries can recover and can have a long career still but I see the likes of you and others essentially writing him off.

Is Ariza eligible? The answer to that question should tell you why Olshey isn't trying to talk Ariza into joining the team.

See, I think this is just something that is unfortunate. I know Zach hasn't been durable up to this point but I don't know if any of his injuries are symptomatic of him having an injury plagued career. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super attached to him but I don't think this thing with his ankle decreases his long term value to the team in any significant way.
