1. i am depressed.

2. I’m so confused after seeing the other report that he was smiling and didn’t have a limp or wrap

3. Since he didn’t pull up lame I’m optimistic he may play on Friday.

4. I would have taken the loss, but without anyone getting hurt. Losing and getting your number 1 player injured at the same time is something else

5. Fuck it. Jose at PF.

6. If he’s hurt then just cross the fingers it’s not serious and he can return to training during the offseason and he’s not laid up until the start of next season.

7. It looked exactly like the injury last year so not surprising to see it was a hammy. Now hopefully this isn’t as severe as last year. But hamstring injuries are tricky, and I have seen plenty of guys struggle for a while even after they come back.

8. So is he injured or is he not? 

   I’m confused 

9. He wont be playing friday if it is a hamstring.

   Soft tissue/tendon injury will heal. Honestly it is amazing that he didn’t hurt himself at any point this season with how out of shape he was trying to play a professional sport.

   He clearly turned a corner and put in major work to get into shape. He needs to do the same thing this off season and come back in amazing shape.

   Now if it isn’t a hamstring and he can come back friday, thank Jesus.

10. Shams just assuming nothing official till tomorrow

11. Zion ain’t coming back this season – let’s be real

    BI and CJ looked like ass today – my only hope that wecan still beat the Kings is that we already have 5 times

12. Sir, a second hamstring just hit Mount Zion

13. It’s comical how unlucky this franchise and fans are.

14. Being a fan of this franchise is a nightmare man

15. …hello darkness my old friend
