Chet Holmgren right Hip Fracture, Ruled out for an extended period of time, Return to play will be determined in for 8-10 weeks.

Not that I saw it happening but once Hartenstein got hurt I was hoping Chet and this energized DPotY mindset could make it through til December.

It’s just increased risk having your sole paint defender be a scrawny/lanky 2nd year player who can be moved easily. I had the same concerns with Wemby and is why all I said last year was F stats/records/etc, the Frenchman just has to make it thru the season healthy.

That’s also the value of having a hartenstein, mitch robinson, brook lopez type. have them absorb the blunt force of mf’ers testing them at the rim nightly

It’s why Nurkic, though not the best, is so important for a Phoenix. Absorbs all that physicality on the paint so Durant and O’Neal can roam free.

Meanwhile in Houston, Sengun has to bear all the physically coming off a season ending injury becaue Jabari big useless ass ain’t shyt. Even When Sengun having matchup issue with bigs, they don’t even switch Jabari on the big causing issue. They throw Dillon Brooks on the big. What the fukk is Jabari good for? Can’t shoot, can barely rebound, can’t dribble, can’t guard bigs, gets blown by Wings. Time to send this fool to basketball purgatory

About to be full time starting Alex Caruso at center until the end of the month

And he gets hurt ALL THE TIME with extended minutes

I get the concern, but Chet was their sole paint defender last season too, and he played all 82 games. He was 4th in contested shots as well, so it wasn't like he was avoiding that type of contact last season either.

Yea I give Chet and Wemby credit to their durability in year 1 through now but every time they go up to contest and end up crashing down in a heap I’m still like


I don’t discourage it because it’s great that they don’t give AF/are about that life, but even this season Chet be lookin gassed expending all that energy holding ish down on defense, and he doesn’t even play 30mpg

Absolutely, I don’t like it for Sengun and I even understand KAT all but getting the fukk out the way in NYK when someone drives

Same with AD dreading the 5 spot and even 7ft swoll Giannis being cool with Brook handling that ish. It’s an underrated commitment being a 5 man.

Also, Jabari is just a bum and I dunno what the plan is for him

Whoever wins the championship this year, just know I'm already shining up the asterisk

Respectfully, Jayson and Jaylen say fukk your asterisk



I feel bad for OKC though. Tough break. Team been ballin out

 

[Remote]

Damn. That sucks.

A hip fracture has to be tough. I imagine you can't move at all without pain.

Good luck to him.

It’s a process. He got that Jabari issue. If you listen to their team’s broadcat(especially Chet’s during his sophomore year returning from injury) both broadcast teams brag about how both player bulked and added muscle during the offseason. They been saying that about Jabari for two summer and I just look at both players after those comments like. The shyt is not evident at all.

It wouldn't have mattered with the way he fell, that can happen to anyone if they fall the wrong way and directly on their hip
