1. That’s super scary! I just read about this – no pain usually associated with it but I still can’t imagine. Hopefully they caught it in time!

2. noooooo

3. Just like that, our season out the window. A fickle game…

4. Time to get that scleral buckle

5. Good lord. Hope Bitim doesn’t have long term eyesight loss. Jesus.

6. Fucking horrifying sounding shit. Hope he’s okay soon

7. NOOO

8. Big hype and a bigger flame out for Onuralp. Can’t imagine we’re gonna see much more of him in the coming years. I like the dude but he’s not very good.

9. Has anyone checked if Carter has this too, it would explain some stuff

10. Another $75K on the bench!

11. that sucks! hope he’s alright

12. My sister had it. There’s a surgery for it. The recovery normally isn’t that bad. My sister was fine within a week or 2. Pain with the surgery wasn’t that bad and she was able to return to normal activities relatively quickly.

13. My mom dealt with this and it’s damn scary. Hope he can heal up and play again

14. Man fuck the Bulls. We Chicago Sky fans now. But get well soon Bitim

15. The postseason lasts until June. Who knows if we can make a run until then /s

16. WTF

17. More minutes for Drell

18. I basically had a detached retina back in high school. I now have a Sclerical Buckle around my right eye. I definitely loss a bit of eyesight but can still see just fine for the most part with contacts or glasses. Just a giant clump of floaters in my right eye and a bit of transparent film I can shift about. Missed more than half my senior year in high school and wear goggles when I play basketball now (that’s how it happened, going for a pass in practice and my teammate poked me in the eye going for the ball).

19. Right when he was getting his chance to blossom the poor guy. I hope he’s ok
