We live and learn.Shouldnt probaby be playing over 30 mins a game.Should also invest in another young big from now on.
He played 71 his rookie year tbh.
70 games should be considered like a "healthy" season for Wemby ..HE will never have the durability of bigs like Jokic or the longevity of Duncan which makes taking more aggressive roster moves is the right approach (Fox trade is in that line of thinking)..We have no years to waste with Wemby.. Put #6 in the rafters and let the chips (no pun intended) fall where they may after..
got it ... fixed my post
I tore my calf training for the marathon in 2011, grade 2. It took 3 months to recover and was never the same after, I kept pulling it. Granted that I drank probably more than these guys and I was a lot older (37 when it happened).I had a few calf strains (obviously nowhere near the level of athlete these guys are with their freakish abilities and athleticism), but I just played through it. Have any of you guys had calf injuries that lingered or had a more serious injury off of one? If they're going to start sitting NBA players now for these, it could really affect the NBA as a product overall.
Unreal. Season could be over before it even really got started.
This what it boiled down to, tbh. No medical staff team would want to be associated with ruining the career of the future face of league: "Wemby, my guy, it is in everyone's utmost interest, that you don't play basketball for next couple of weeks until we get to bottom of this minor calf swollenness!"
don't think you can make any such assessment based on a blood cloth or a strain
, does not have any issues with his bones so far, and most specifically bones in the lower half of his body.
It might be from a single play where Podziemski swept him and crouched down behind him on a play.
That was always the question when he got drafted. Players that are that tall typically don’t have great longevity, but I’m keeping positive. A couple of weeks let’s hang in there and get him back. He’s very young. We have enough on this roster to win games without him for a bit.
What’s worse? Every usual suspect from the Cliff Diving Message Board Veterans’ Club is leaping in to declare, “Wemby’s injury-prone, just like so-and-so, we can’t build around him.” Terrible take. Terrible troll attempt. If that’s the excuse you’re selling yourselves, Cliff Jumpers, it’s flimsier than a pool noodle at high tide. This is the kind of play the NFL literally outlawed because it racked up injuries faster than a buffet racks up empty plates.
I wasn't denying that. I'm saying the team likes to be super cautious, and with his history of clots I would be super careful with a calf pain to rule it out. There's a decent chance they did an ultrasound. But I haven't heard any details yet.
Like someone said above, a couple years ago Wemby and others would be playing on this type of injury after 3-4 days of rest, but everyone now is scared to death of an Achilles aggravation
Yeah, but we’re not a poverty franchise with an idiot at helm. I was reminded that Nico was the one that lost out on Steph signing at Nike. Blew the whole presentation and called him Seth. lol. Anyone that hires him for anything other than janitorial work is oncrack
