Yeah, they called it a mild ankle sprain. What sucked though was that he had 30 points at halftime on like 11/13 shooting. It was nuts, I wanted to see how much he'd finish with but he didn't play after that.
Most likely. PPG goes a long way ... its either him or Zach LaVine, but Wiggins has a bigger name. So many guys are injured! Not what we were expecting for this rookie class it seems.

What the hell with the rash of ruptured achilles tendons? Maybe not a rash but used to be a rare injury. Or is 4 in 3 years not out of the ordinary? Billups, Bryant, Henry, Varejao.

Joel Embiid "no likee" rehab work and conditioning? Top NBA Draft Pick Joel Embiid Has Put On 50 Pounds Since College, And The Sixers Are Worried By Tony ManfredJanuary 18, 2015 5:09 PM Philadelphia 76ers are concerned about Joel Embiid's work ethic and conditioning, according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Sixers drafted Embiid with the No. 3 pick in June knowing that he had a foot injury that would likely keep him sidelined for the entire 2014-15 season. The seven-foot-tall center has yet to play in a game or participate in a full practice. According to Pompey, his rehab has been bumpy. Pompey reports that he has "blown off" conditioning drills and now weighs nearly 300 pounds: Because of the foot injury, his conditioning has been limited. Embiid can only do things such as use the antigravity treadmill and take long walks to generate a rapid heart rate. In the process, he has become noticeably heavier than the chiseled 250 pounds he carried in college. The Sixers are trying to address the added weight. Embiid, however, hasn't always been a willing workout participant, according to sources. He's even blown off conditioning drills, one source added. Pompey adds that Embiid was sent home from a recent road trip because he had a "blowup" with the team's strength and conditioning coach. Embiid, a 20-year-old from Cameroon, told CSN Philly in September that his weight has fluctuated since he graduated from Kansas. "When I left Kansas I weighed 230 pounds," he told CSN's Dei Lynam. “When I got hurt (in a predraft workout) I was 280 pounds. I gained 50 pounds in three months. At Kansas, I wanted to play at 250. I wanted to be strong and not get pushed around. Right now I am at 270, so I have lost 10 pounds." http://sports.yahoo.com/news/top-nba-draft-pick-joel-220900703.html
