Thunder fear that Chet Holmgren has suffered ligament damage in his foot

[the mesiah]

Tough break for the kid, very few rookies lately that catch my eye and I was looking forward to seeing him regularly.Looks like he loves to play and wants to compete , hope he gets well

[spurs50fan]

I'm with the camp that these guys shouldn't be playing in these games. Not just for the injury reason but it's a bit of hypocrisy to skip over exhibition events during All-Star weekend.

[SupermanBrandon]

Who could've seen this coming? What will the investors pump now? And why is anyone playing w/ Lebron in little league games? Those are his highlight opportunities these days. Nobody elses.

[gottagitdemjs]

If I were the Thunder, I'd get him his own private room next to the weight room at the team facility and an unlimited pasta pass at Olive Garden.

It’s no longer a fear / it’s a fact:

Is it just Me, or does the Thunder deserve some of the blame? —- allowing their prized possession Rookie to play in a meaningless game, where of course he got hurt and he’s out for an entire Season ( that is, assuming they had some say in it? )

Ole Chet sounds about as smart as Tatis

No. Its not a game of blame, its life. Chet loved to play, that's to be commended. Of course he wants to play against LBJ. Sit on your backsides without meaningful comp for a few months and check how you fare

[Easycards]

The case is there to be made that these young stars are getting valuable experience against high level talent and that’s why it’s worth it to play. You figure they aren’t going 100%. If you watch the play it was very freakish, lebron didn’t land on the foot it’s almost like the injury was on contact while in the air on what was otherwise a fairly mundane play.

It's not about the f'n pickup game.....

Injuries are not random rolls of the dice. They are the result of structural deficiencies. Chet's makeup would have led him to a similar injury sooner or later..... maybe in a similar context: trying to tie up or strip the ball from a guy 10x stronger while moving in an irregular movement pattern on a fast break.

Time to eat a lot of food Chet and get stronger.

Maybe instead of a pickup game, the Thunder should have had Chad on a full time, high calorie, intensive weight room training plan —- just a thought
He’s about to start paying against real life monsters

The ideal scenario is not very likely - Chad gets 50 pounds from zion

Players play? I mean how else is he going to get better?

The kid could torn any muscle playing low intensity basketball during practice in OKC. Heck, Ben Simmons broke his foot during a scrimmage at a training camp. Zion broke something last season and he wasn’t even playing from my understanding. The amount of players suffering injuries during training camp or doing a routine move are endless.

Come on guys.

I'm not so sure...

the only thing some investors seem to like more than a prospect who is playing well is a prospect that *could* play well.

A Chet Holmgrem not yet to play does a lot better in the market than a Chet Holmgren who plays and doesn't set the world on fire (which I doubt he would).

This guy was going to get hurt eventually. Sooner or later. Happened before sooner even!

Uffa my kid pulled a Bowman U numbered color auto while back he wanted to sell in preseason if he looked good. Was going for $400.

[MyckKabongo]

Feel like Chet is a midwit meme with hoodie and low IQ guy agreeing "rail thin post players almost always bust in the NBA." Midwits mustering all sorts of "but KD," "the dream that once was Porzingis," look at his advanced stats against low-not-major D1 schools... It's just not that complicated.

Not really - big difference between being in the middle of a grueling season and being in the middle of a 3 month break

Just going to quote this and say the Thunder shouldn’t exist. Let the curse live on.

I just can't believe they did not stop him from doing any basketball-related activities until they reach the conference finals!!!
