Of course he’s out 6-8 weeks
Really bad luck and terrible news as he’s been their 2nd or 3rd best player this year
6 weeks would put them at the 1st round/2nd round
Pat Connaughton’s been auditioning too- see him before Divincenzo I’m guessing...
It’s really unfortunate, but this is the second season in a row his regular season will end with him in street clothes. Being a RFA this summer, it hurts him. He had a muscle tear last year, now a tear in his foot. It has to be a legitimate concern that he can’t handle 82 games, and for a team aspiring to play 100 every season, how much can you invest?
Malcolm Brogdon’s injury assures that he join the 50/40/90 club. Here’s the list:
- Stephen Curry with the Golden State Warriors
- Kevin Durant with the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Mark Price with the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Reggie Miller with the Indiana Pacers
- Steve Nash with the Phoenix Suns
- Dirk Nowitzki with the Dallas Mavericks
- Larry Bird with the Boston Celtics

It sounds like Sterling Brown is close to returning (perhaps end of week v Miami) so that’s good news. They need to get DD healthy as well.
