Dlo out with the same quad injury

Sweet more DLo v Rubio fodder. KAT is really taking his sweet time in coming back. I dont get this soft tank strategy. Rosas will have wasted 2 years of KAT for maintenance. Hes keeping his action figures in the box I guess.

If the alternative to D-Lo sitting out the second half of back-to-backs is sitting out for extended periods of time and missing numerous games, then I guess I'll take this. We need him. It sucks that we just haven't seen enough of healthy D-Lo with healthy KAT yet and the two have been teamed up for almost a whole year now.

Have we gotten the Thunder's injury report yet? Tough to win any game without KAT, and even tougher with DLO and Culver joining him on the sidelines, but I still like our chances if SGA sits.

This franchise is so freakin' soft. KAT's been on the road trip and clearly has to be symptom-free (not sure if he even had any symptoms to begin with) for multiple days now since he's sitting on the bench. You mean he can't even play with a minutes restriction at this point? What happened to the sense of urgency we saw when he came back early from the wrist injury?

Glad to see Nowell isn't on the injury report. He was really heating up when he came down on Horford's foot. We might be witnessing the permanent displacement of Okogie and Culver in favor of McDaniels and Nowell.

This board and entire fan base should be outraged whenever Juan Hernangomez eventually returns to the starting lineup and pushes Jarred Vanderbilt or Jaden McDaniels back to the end of the bench. You know it'll happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see Josh Okogie starting at the three either. It's the starting lineup from the beginning of the season. Ryan Saunders just won't be able to help himself.

I so wish you were wrong, but I know you're right. I'd almost forgotten about H-Gomez. I'd love to forget about him and his $7M per year contract.

Nice shot last night DLO, I guess you deserve another rest. Honestly I don't think we miss him at all. If it means Nowell gets more run and the ball movement and defense are better, we should be net positive. FNG is right about SGA. If he plays I think we lose, if he doesn't I'm betting on the Wolves.

Do we think it's D-Lo that's holding himself out of games (unlikely) or is it a combination of the front office, coaching staff, and medical team? Probably the same applies for KAT. I don't understand it, but I also don't know the severity of these guys' issues.

I think it's the staff, but if these guys really wanted to play, I think they could influence things more (example being KAT coming back early from the wrist injury). You'll disagree with me, but I don't think winning is a big priority for DLO. Obviously he doesn't throw games, but I just don't think that's what drives him. The money, getting shots up, the stature, the lifestyle, etc. is a bigger factor for him. As for KAT, hard to know where his head is at these days.
