1. sad to see hope he heals up!, i will look forward to seeing bey in a more prominent role however

2. Glad it wasn’t worse, hope he recovers well

3. Sucks.. he was having a hell of a season too man

   knew he was a freak athlete, but didn’t know he could shoot this well or had the ball skills. Def an upgrade over colins

4. Pain. This man is so important to our team. This really sucks.

5. Nooo. I would offer my wrist but I need it for….activities and such.

6. Thank Goodness, he is ascending so fast.

7. He’s been our 3rd best player. In terms of consistency on both ends of the floor, he’s had both Murray and Trae beat. Their highs are higher due to usage but JJ has been incredibly steady.

   We’re gonna see the squad dip a few games below .500 for sure. He’s a part of all our best lineups.

8. Better then what I originally thought seeing the play

9. Shams squeezing in Jalen’s agent “NBA’s early Most Improved candidates” plug. No shame

10. Tough. He was hooping too.

11. We are so fucked for the next 4 weeks. He’s our 2nd most important player. He’s basically LeBron Lite and it was awesome to see him grow into that role.

    For how many minutes Jalen was playing a game, the only player in the NBA with a higher +- than him was Jokic…

12. Sucks, but could have been worse. He was balling out, need to replace him on all my fantasy teams now. 🥲

13. That sucks. Hopefully AJ Green can get back to his old self
