    Both will play but having what could be nagging injuries in Round 1 is far from being ideal .

    Hopefully we'll win in 5 and Blazers/Nuggets will go 7

    Nagging injuries are a part of the game. Play thru them and rest in offseason. Can't worry about them now. Only the offseason can help with these nagging injuries.

    Issue is healthy enough to beat either the Nets or Philly in the Finals.

    I'm not worried about anyone in the West if they finish the Suns in 5.

    It's called compensating for the other injuries and then his groin got injured. Learn how the body works.

    Hope he's alright. I admire the fact that he still gave it a go even though he was questionable. We don't know how many foot or leg injuries he has and the severity of it.

    Everybody complaining about AD standing out by the 3 point line, well he didn’t reinjure himself until he went to the basket.

    AD really needs to work on his lower body strength in the offseason. This year it is what it is, but it should be his priority #1.

    Was a predictable outcome given how his season went.

    He'll get a pass this season but better come back with a revenge the next one

    Honestly, I don't know that we'll ever get AD for a full season. I think he made it last season because the break before the bubble helped AD mend up so he only had to survive a couple months.

    Damn. I’m not sure we are good enough to finish this out without AD. Suns are good. Can we win 2 of the next 3 without him? I wouldn’t bet on it.

    Sounds somewhat promising? But then again... pretty sure we called Lebron’s groin injury back in 2018 “day-to-day” as well, and that ended up being a very lengthy injury.

    Also, even if we knew we needed to hold AD out, it would be in our best interest to report it like this to keep the Suns guessing.

    Even if he plays, this will linger on. But let's see if he can help us beat PHX and we'll go from there.

    Groin is the worst injury i had. And I had sprain knee and broken hand. It lingers. With ADs pain threshold being the way it is, he will need to get to another level mentally.
