Wow, that sucks. Recovery seems to be 2-10 weeks depending on severity.

Pistons are likely going to fall into the 3rd seed right now. Should be an easy win for the Lakers but it would have been a good test.

 

Wow. Thats huge.

 

It seems a wizard player fell on his back and he did not return after

 

Why aren't B2B games strictly home games? Seems ridiculous teams have to travel, get a few hours rest, and be expected to play a grueling game.

Would be less of an issue if they're both home games. NBA could totally schedule it that way or start the season a bit earlier to avoid B2B games.

 

Damn, what an awful thing to happen. Hope he gets better quickly.

 

I think the Pistons are cooked, he’ll miss the rest of the regular season

 

CJ McCollum missed 5 weeks with a collapsed lung a few years ago. That was the 2nd time it happened (odds increase for injury to repeat each time it happens).

Bad timing but the injury sounds worse than it is. I once walked around with a collapsed lung for nearly a week before I went to a Dr and learned what was wrong.

Will likely just have to wait a couple weeks for imaging to show it’s healed and then get back into game shape. Definitely possible he’s back by the start of the 1st round.
