Zach Collins underwent revision surgery today to repair a left medial malleolus stress fracture.

nurk has played more minutes too.

I think, don’t quote me

He has but just saying Nurk also get in foul trouble but nobody questions that because what he does in other catorogry of the game. But bigs get in foul trouble due to cover up from our guards. Plus Zach was doing better not committing silly fouls.

How the fuck does Ja Morant jump so high come down on his ankle like crazy bad and only projected to miss couple weeks ?

Different injury. Collins has a stress fracture.

Sam Bowie Part Deux?

Is Collins absolutely out for the rest of the season? Could he still be back for the playoffs? The playoffs start at end of may, that's stil 5 months

Possible be I would say that's a stretch though if the blazers was smart they would file for a injury exception on him. But don't know how that would effect the cap.

Luckliy we didn't take Zach with the second pick just ahead of the best guy to ever do it.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

He’s projected to miss 3-5 weeks and it’s a grade 2 ankle sprain, not a stress fracture to a part of the ankle that can be tricky to heal.

Yeah, I was going to say because it’s a completely different injury but reading that dude’s angry posts toward Collins, I didn’t think he’d care. His Collins narrative is set in stone.

 

[BBert]

Really though? He helped us win some big games in the playoffs... Games we would have likely lost without him.

I have a hard time labeling a player who has been instrumental in a team's success a bust because of injuries. Injuries happen.

To me, bust mains failure to help your team by not playing well. Not being as good as you could have been, due to being overhyped or failing to put in the work.

A guy who can't walk can't be good. There is no potential there.

I don't know... Just my thoughts on "bust".

Dude if he could land us a Buck Williams I’d be ECSTATIC.

 

[James lamphear]

Yeah that pick, especially moving up for it, was a bit of a head scratcher but I didn't know enough about Zach or the other bigs I liked (Giles, Bam, and Ivan Rabb) to be too pissed. The only players I liked in that draft were Josh Jackson, Lauri Markkanen and Bam... so I was in wait and see mode for Zach and we just never really got to see because of injuries.

Right now out those players Bam the only has produce. Markkenen had down season last year but still can't defend.

At some point, if you're a big man, don't you beg the Blazers not to pick you just to preserve your leg health?

Sam Bowie Part Deux?

I'd love for that to happen.

1. Bowie had a fairly respectable career for New Jersey.

2. Bowie got us Buck Williams!

If we end up trading Collins for a Buck type player I'd be ecstatic!

If Zach can be as good a player as Sam Bowie, I'd be ecstatic.

Yes because you've done such a bang up job running the Timbers forum.

Come on, man, try to be better than this with your posts. Setbacks with recovery from injuries happen. At the start of camp, Zach was working on his game and recovery. He was expected back by the end of January. Obviously, as he ramped up his workouts, he started having some pain and when they checked it out they found the injury wasn’t healed right. How is that lying?

You didn't have to type all that. Just kick him in the Tunchi.

 

[Natebishop3]

We have a timbers forum!?!?!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He's the definition of bust - he seems like a great kid, but we have gotten very little return for such a high draft pick.

76ers, Suns, Magic, Knicks and Mavs say "hi"

 

[Wheels]

We have a timbers forum!?!?!

That was my thought as well lol!

I quit trying cause your never come to a game with me. Me and @ehizzy3 have partied like 20 times. But sly... nothing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Do we get an injury exception?

 

[Natebishop3]

That was my thought as well lol!

Sly is just mad because he doesn't have an entire forum to himself.

I do remember trying with Ducks though. But that was too much work, so I pay a guy now lol. And it was just spraying @tlongII repellent every day anyway lol. Jk heart you and your avatar!

The amount of money I’d pay to have Sly be shadowbanned, and somehow follow his descent into madness as no one responds to his posts!
