Don’t rush him back. Him getting re injured would kill our playoff chances.
Imma expect him post allstar break to make some minutes. Should be the perfect time too.
It’s a risky injury to rush back from. Low blood flow in that area of the foot usually means a couple of teeny tiny screws and lots of time.
6 months for a broken toe is so crazy. We have the worst luck with injuries.
Glad they put this out there — I’m thinking post ASB he’ll return.
that’s rough. gonna be hard to say what kind of contribution he’ll be able to provide. hopefully by playoffs he’s back in game shape and has knocked the rust off
I’m just going to consider him a “nice to have” for the playoffs, but I can’t count on it. He’s been out for so long, and with foot injuries it’s not like he’s getting any floor time. I’d love for him to be a real playoff contributor, but I have to think that time away will really hurt his effectiveness.
Dang it!
4 weeks for brings you to early February. And that’s for evaluation. Sounds like he’ll only be available the last 6 weeks of the season.
He’s been pretty active on the sidelines – during the Pistons game, there was a moment he spoke to the coaches and then called Garland over from the court to discuss a play and offer a suggestion. He definitely seems eager to get back in the game.
Good to hear an update… but Strus isnt/never was gonna save our season.
Boys needs to figure it the fuck out quick for these next couple of weeks.
Max struss texted his foot “if you aren’t going to be healthy don’t show up” then he collected his paycheck while watching stranger things S5
So no Max this season probably
Just give this dude a stimpack in the foot and he’ll be fine.
Trust me, my Medicine rating is 70.
THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING MYSELF
my god… i know he’s a great player and its not my money but they’re payin bro 16 mil for 8 regular season games at 25 minutes/game
Good to know he’s not OFS. I was beginning to have some suspicions tbh
Damn. Remind me never to sustain this injury. Seems like a real bitch and a half to heal from.
Ah I didn’t know it was a Jones fracture. That shit really sucks and unpredictable recovery
