Bilal Coulibaly to be sidelined multiple weeks with right oblique strain – The Athletic https://share.google/GQVrxmqZkBKxS5tPn

I saw the post about him missing Thursday night's game, but it seems like it's gonna be a much more significant amount of time missed for the 3rd year man than just one game.

How do you feel about another Bilal injury? Can he stay healthy for six months in a row? For 3 months in a row? Are these injuries impacting his development?

  1. Well Keefe gushed about his defense the other night so he’s definitely going to be here long term barring some insane trade offer. I just take it as us outtanking the Pels (Hawks).

    Maybe he’ll be back when Corey’s back.

  2. Sarr rapidly punching his obliques rn realising he’s back to having 90% of the defensive load.

  4. Its a long season and we have a lot of players to develop and the quality of their reps matter as much as the number. Dudes being out because they’re going hard/recovering from intensity should be fine and thats how a lot of other guys are gonna get opportunities for minutes. As long as theres no red flags for reoccurring injuries, i think we have the luxury of letting them play hard till they hurt and resting them as long as they need to recover

  5. Real bummer. His injury history is unfortunate and perhaps concerning; although perhaps just bad luck, but there has been a large dose of it certainly.

  7. So I guess this means he can’t work on his godawful shooting while he’s out?

  8. I genuinely don’t know if Bilal is going to play 65 games in a season during his career. Breaks my heart to see him keep getting hurt like this. Hope he heals up soon and gets back out there. He needs a ton of reps to improve his game, especially on offense.

  9. The constant soft tissue injuries with Bilal are becoming a huge problem. I like having a player of his archetype on the team, but he is certainly not irreplaceable and it remains to be seen what happens to him in our rebuild..
