    Oh crap I didn't see he had an ankle tweak. See there you go .... he caught that from all the horsing around with Lonzo.

    Vogel will need to zen something with Kuzma. He was completely out of it even before the ankle injury. Something is wrong with him mentally.

    It’s either a family health issue, a woman, or the shoes. Make your pick...

    We need him to be the legit 3rd scoring option, and right now he’s not cutting it. We might have some decisions to make by the trade deadline on bringing in some reinforcements.

    Yup

    Been saying it for a while and I was getting trashed for it

    Hes not a bad player and has good value. But he is not consistent or ready enough to be a true #3 guy on a legit contender.

    He is that 4th guy who can guy off once in a while if your guys get cold

    I think that ankle tweak was bothering his shot. Well, that's the excuse I'm giving him at least.

    Does this guy get an excuse every time?

    And if he has injury problems, then hes an injury prone guy. I wonder how serious he takes his conditioning and strength training.

    He turned his ankle. Basically the most common basketball injury. What does strength training and conditioning have to do with a turned ankle?

    Yet it does matter, im not talking about just lifting weights.

    But there are exercises for ankle and feet mobility and strengthening.

    On top of usual lower body workouts.

    Aside from that, yes we can't get FVV. Not with how bad Kuzma has s*** THE BED.

    Need someone who is unhappy with the team/role or a team trying to change things up.

    If we could move Kuzma and small assets for Bogdan, I would sign up to help him pack his bags.

    Can't rely on Mr. Social Media to be the 3rd scorer on this team. Just too inconsistent enough and his defense isn't good enough to warrant that

    I really don't think that ankle and foot mobility stretches and strengthening will change your chances of landing on someone's foot and turning your ankle. It literally happens to every basketball player regardless of anything they are doing just because that's what happens in the game. Have you never done this? If you have you know it takes a little while to get back 100%. It's only been one game (2 days). That kind of tweak can take up to a week or two depending on the severity. Sometimes it's only a few days. All depends.

    I'm glad that he played in some ways but he sucked so maybe he should have waited till next game to come back.

    Yup - was thinking the same - going plant based while playing basketball is a horrible move.

    Again, I really don't think that someone's diet will alter the chances that you will land on an opponent's foot and turn your ankle.

    Agreed but I was saying that statement more as a standalone statement...
