locked on daily.com go and hit a thumb on this one share it around and uh get cracking I think you know we how we roll in these circles we’re talking um NBA injury report it is New Year’s Eve here for me today so uh yeah we’re getting ready to roll out of 2024 and roll into 2025 in Japan omisoka is apparently what the last day of the year is called and all my Japanese friends can let me know about that but that’s what it is so get ready to celebrate Omi Saka I’m assuming that pronunciation is just absolutely bang on with my Flawless Japanese accent should we talk injuries we should let’s start with the Washington Wizards the NBA moves fast with injuries and injury updates so yeah I started you preparing this show like an hour ago let’s say and there’s going to be things that are out out of date that is just how injury reports roll and I’ll try and keep you best updated on that as I can in terms of um the Washington Wizards we’ve got Jordan P who missed the last game he he going to put him as questionable for the next one with that hip contusion Alex SAR has now popped up with an illness on the injury report he missed a game a couple of games ago with a back problem but that appears to be all good now it’s an illness obviously when those guys are out and if s’s out you roll out valent chunis and if p is out we saw last game it was Big Time stuff for Justin champany but of course in this game Kyle kma who’s been out for 25 years is returning with a rib sprain so we’ll see how that all works and that’s just another name to put in that mix it is going to have an impact on someone like champany Anthony Gil is dealing with a nasal contusion so he’s questionable and he just won’t play anyway while Marvin Bagley they haven’t actually still told us what the knee injury is um but I’ve got him out there until about the end of January with that knee spray not that we worry that much about baggley from a fantasy perspective this season on to the Utah Jazz and they are relatively healthy at the moment we did get some updates on this John Collins now has been uh ruled out of the game on Monday so maybe he’s able to return Wednesday that is four consecutive games missed from the Baptist and I know he’d been rolling he’d played 36 38 37 and 35 minutes in the four games prior to that the two games prior to that 23 and 28 they’ll both blowouts of course after a really shaky start to the season they’re leaning into Collins lot I wonder what this means it doesn’t the guys replacing Collins let’s put it this way Cody Williams has been starting s Muk started some games Michael po started some Gam games uh K filipowski like no one is doing enough to go yeah they’re our future we’ve got to really give those guys minutes so I think we’re all right with Collins but this does appear to be lingering keontay George is probable he has missed four consecutive games with an ankle sprain that has allowed Colin seon to go absolutely bananas is enabled Jordan Clarkson to do more as well so we’ll see what they do this is again it’s going to be a real test because seon’s minutes as you know have been annoying 31 28 36 32 36 but the get three games before that four games before that 24 24 23 23 and I expect him to be more like that so your sell High window it’s about to slam just make sure you get all your appendages out of the little gap between the door and the frame because it’s going to slam pretty shut pretty quickly I think here for sexo on the Toronto raps um I hope that everything’s all right because there was just a random report today from ran Barrett or for ran Barrett just saying he was out and no like I don’t know why they said he’s just not going to be with the team he’s not he’s R run back he’s gone back to Toronto and we know there was the the uh tragic pass passing of his brother last season that cost him a bunch of time um I hope that everything’s fine in his family life but it was a little strange out of nowhere for Barrett what this means is that we do get to deploy dick at least for this game I would say um and I just have no idea how long Barrett’s out they’re playing again on Wednesday the Raptors they ruling out for Tuesday by the way they’re playing again on Wednesday back in Toronto so maybe he’s okay to go there but I would think that there is a risk that Barrett doesn’t play there we might keyword might have a manual quickly back this week I don’t know there’s been like no updates there is reports of him practicing but I’m not sure I’ll just say that he doesn’t play the first two games here Tuesday Wednesday quickly maybe a Friday return on the 3D but it’s been 25 million years since we have seen this guy in an uh in a Raptor’s uniform remember this man was basically an Iron Man for the first few seasons of his career and has not gone well at all this season and I’m sure there’s going to be plenty of you like I’m never never drafting him again do not draft list not touching a manual quickly ever again again even though he averaged what 73 games played for four years in a row um Davon Mitchell missed last game with an illness his role has been very up and down um I’m not even sure he’s going to be a part of the rotation if they’re going to give those minutes to Jamal shed and then uh Bruno Fernando lob threat Legend tow injury he just doesn’t play so we’re good there don’t have to worry about that one too much onto the San Antonio Spurs we also don’t have to worry about this one because there’s no one on the injury report for now that can obviously change but there’s no on there for now so we’re good the Sacramento Kings have also basically got no one on the injury report because the only guy there is Jay Crowder um Devin Carter first round pick is back and playing in the G League I’d imagin he would come up soon to the main team and not get medits because the get the 240 game monk Fox herder Alice they all play the same position and yeah maybe Fox is traded maybe Alice is what do you call it 86 I don’t even know what does that even mean I know what it means but why does it 86 to mean that I think it just means chucked out doesn’t it I’m sure I’m using that correctly but anyway uh where does Carter play enough is her good no is Alice good no Monk and fox good yeah but like where does Carter play anyway that’s beyond the point Jay CR is 100% washed and glad they signed him to be their savior he’s got a back issue in his questionable but he just won’t play anyway so that doesn’t matter more injuries to talk about in Portland than from those other teams we got a bit of a list going here it doesn’t appear like any of these are super serious to M Kamara I guess a foot sprain could be serious but they haven’t updated us to say that it’s serious he missed the game on Saturday he’s questionable for Monday so I guess being questionable is a good sign but terrible franchises give terrible reports so I’m not really sure where we’re at with that um he’s a borderline 12 Team league guy anyway I wouldn’t bother holding through the nonsense but with him questionable Jeremy Grant questionable Delano Banton questionable it means that Scoot and Denny Adia have a real chance here to put up big big numbers in big big minutes it’s going to be a frustrating scenario all the way through but when players are out they’re ready to go as for Grant honestly I don’t think you need to hold Jeremy Grant in 10 10 leagues I don’t think you need to hold him in 12 te leagues like what are you actually getting frustration no fantasy playoffs inconsistency fake injuries for what why why would we even bother holding for you might get a 4 game Run of top 7 numbers I I don’t if Grant misses a game here I just wouldn’t have a problem moving on honestly I just don’t think he’s good enough to care about it Delano Banton has missed what two in a row he’s questionable for Monday I know that NBA’s worst coach chony Bops loves giving Doug Chris is gonna give that a run by the way I think Doug christe will give that a run chony Bops um loves giving bant ad minutes so we can keep scoot at 21 a night so just watch that one matis thy having seen him this season maybe we get a return at the end of the week but also like with Deon Carter how does he play Kamar sharp Simons scoot AIA Banton I guess he plays over Banton but where does he play and the last one there is Rob Williams dealing with an ankle problem Rob Williams’s opportunity to have fantasy value was when Donovan kingan tor’s MCL and Williams got and cuss in that very first game so there’s no value for him here and if he gets back to 20 minutes at any any point he won’t but if he does then we re him and that’s okay really disappointing season again from Rob Williams onto Phoenix we did get an update on the injury statuses of these guys so I’ll be able to tell you that Deon Booker who I didn’t expect to be playing on Tuesday I had him doubtful with the groin strain but to be to be fair he left the game on the 19th of December so we had a chance that he returned and he practiced so it does look like that that D should turn into a q for Booker uh Roy Anil listed as a groin It’s actually an ankle so that’s my bad he’s officially going to be questionable for Tuesday’s game Grayson Allen also dealing with the concussion he looks like he’ll be available he’s questionable for Tuesday you nkic won’t he’ll be able to return on the 6th of January from his suspension the Suns only have two games this week so look yeah you could stream Mason plumbley for one game but that’s really about it B bow the big time uh member of the big four there b b dealing with that knee contusion he has not played since he got 5 minutes on the 8th of December and then two-way contract Legend Colin Gillespie with a fractured ankle maybe a 7th of January return but that doesn’t matter the important ones there are Booker O’Neal Allen but if Booker and Allen return Then O’Neal’s streaming value is down and of course Allen streaming value is only there if other players are out and it looks like they all could be back at a round about the same time we’ll come back we’ll cover off some other teams but today’s episode is brought to you by the big fers over at Rocket RX so rocket RX is there to help you boost your confidence and take control in the bedroom the solution is here imagine

okay shall we go into the next game or the next team sorry it is the Philadelphia 76ers injuries are always seemingly going to be a part of the season for these guys Joel embiid played in the last game but now he is on the injury report with that foot SL ankle that he hurt on Christmas day um Andre Drummond also questionable with a toe so that could really open up a lot of things for Gerson Yas this game is against the Blazers so if they sat embiid I I wouldn’t be surprised but they do have a Wednesday Thursday back toback coming up and we’re very confident that embiid’s going to sit one of those ones Eric Gordon had oral surgery he’s missed three games in a row he’s questionable here I’m not even sure how much of a part of the rotation he is it’s between him and Reggie Jack and Kyle Lowry to see who can be the most washed in terms of getting minutes off the bench and two of those guys Gordon and L are both questionable for this one so you really just sort of play to see who’s in who’s out and then how self-branded hat Nick Nick nurse how self-branded hat Legend Nick nurse still have to buy a hat I’m going to buy one I have to buy one I’m going to open up a tab right now um so I can what would I search Nick nurse merch all right the niick nurse Foundation there we go all right we’re buying one after the show um yeah so which one of those guys in or out is just going to be on the whims of the uh the old NN let’s go over to our Orlando Magic uhuh maybe PA bankera back this week maybe I don’t know we thought around Christmas would be a reasonable time frame Christmas has passed he’s practicing so I think there is a chance that we get Paulo returning they they play on the 1 and the third and the fifth and the fifth of the six is the back to back so I guess there’s a Sunday chance return which is the fifth maybe a Friday return on the third for banero Jaylen Suggs hurt his wrist in the last game um sugs has hurt his hurt himself a million times and he seems to come back from it I don’t know that there’s any chance that he sits here I mean there’s a chance but I’m not sure where we sit with that and then Mr Black heard his back in the last game Mr Black he didn’t play on Sunday so if both suggsy and black are out then you would guess it’s Cole Anthony time although I am sure that Jamal Mosley will find a way to find some maybe you’ll start Cory Joseph and playing 30 minutes which is honestly one of the worst thoughts i’ I just yeah I I died inside a little bit FR Vagner dealing with his oblique end of January I’m guessing we haven’t had any real updates on that anywhere between the 25th of January to like the 10th of February I think he’s a realistic time frame there for France like I said Mr Black is dealing with a Mr Black injury so uh yeah we’re not rostering Anthony black anyway because you never know what you’re going to get it’s usually bad and the occasional good game is just not worth the stress and the pain and the nihilism of dealing with Anthony black on a daily basis in Oklahoma City we’ve got uh Alex kuso who has strained his hip again kuso missed he’s missed the last three games in a row I’ll just put him as doubtful for the New Year’s Eve game um just because it’s Alex Caruso and they’re going pretty carefully on that chits out and until early February and then Adam Flagler a two-way guy has a hand fracture middle of January for him but that’s not going to matter for most people with Caruso out it just really boosts the Hong Kong match as case Wallace you’re able to get extra stuff from AJ Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins but there’s still too many of those guard types that Mark dagot can uh move through and adjust and change and the minutes and all that sort of stuff all right on to the New York Knicks two injuries here Jaylen Brunson is appearing as questionable of course he was questionable for the game on Saturday and then he played 44 minutes in that one and now against the same opponent is questionable again I just hope that all these lower body things the Cal issue the multiple Foot and Ankle injuries all season and him playing through them in big minutes most of the time I hope it doesn’t lead to like a compensation thing of something just completely blowing up at and then you we lose him for a long period of time no idea whether he plays on Monday uh we’ll see if he does or if he’s out so then it’s McBride and Payne who you really want to look at to stream in the one is Mitchell Robinson who we’re looking at probably a February return but yeah we’re not stashing that in vast vast majority of fantasy formats onto the New Orleans Pelicans it’s still basically the same story here Eve Mei wasn’t the injury report but he’s available ready to go on Monday so we’re good there Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson they’re the ones we really wait really waiting for probably another 10 days or so with Ingram who knows Zion maybe the end of the week he’s doing some practice work but yeah we’re we’re all in pretty much the stage of believe it when we see it for both of these guys um and then Jose Alvarado could also be nearing a return towards the end of this week I don’t think that Alvarado is going to have an impact with muray with Murray and McCullum there but of course if something happens with those guys then we know that Alvarado becomes useful the other one is Carlo Movic who’s dealing with a back problem he just has barely played at all this season he’s been bad when he played and maybe is back in a week or so but it also just 100% does not matter in Minnesota the uh the injuries we’ve got there we’re talking about uh nothing that really matters Rob Dillingham wasn’t really disgusted but he was a late scratch yesterday with an ankle problem so that ankle’s been an issue for him for a while Luca Gaz is dealing with an ankle and two-way contract Legend Das Nicks is also dealing with an ankle sprain these are not regular rotation pieces anyway Josh Min not seems to have taken the Dillingham rotation minutes at the moment and is playing well so I don’t think we worry about any of this stuff with Minnesota at all in Milwaukee jannis has missed the last few games due to an illness um originally it was a back thing much like Damen lards was originally a calf and then it turned into an illness so there was there is an illness of some description going around this team Yannis is um officially questionable for the game on Tuesday with this illness he’s missed four consecutive games I’d be stunned if he doesn’t play uh I think it’s got to be closer to probable but whatever big boom AJ Green is probable with a calf contusion and Chris Middleton is prob with his ankle issues ankles issues is that how is that how you say it’s like Attorneys General um yeah Middleton’s been playing quite well of late like minutes are up scoring is up I don’t know why where the pro tag has even put on here but whatever uh so they look like for the next game Milwaukee is going to be again I expect yiannas to play I think they’re going to be completely healthy in that next game in Miami Jimmy Butler unfortunately overdosed on culture so he’s missed the last few games uh he didn’t play across the weekend their next game is not till a Wednesday Thursday back toback so of course he’s probably not going to be um recovered enough to play both of those games but he honestly he should be playing we haven’t heard any updates on the suspensions of uh maybe Tyler hero or ter I’d be pretty shocked honest see if if Ro doesn’t get suspended I’ll be pretty surprised hero maybe a game I don’t know but we don’t have any updates on that just yet I’m sure something will come in at some point and Duncan Robinson missed the last game with a foot issue um they’re calling it foot inflammation he just missed the one game he played 38 minutes the day before I expect that dunk will be okay to go um Joshy Richardson’s had this ankle problem for weeks and weeks and weeks and he’s not really a part of the rotation anyway and then we got this week the confirmation on the Drew Smith torn Achilles which is going to cost him the season Richardson out we get more minutes for roier if he’s even available but you could have a situation here where there’s more guys out and we’re looking at yic we’re looking at Alec bur we’re looking at maybe HZ but there’s no there’s no way you trust any of these players you can’t trust any and even the guys you can trust like adab bio shoots 20% from the field or Jimmy Butler who yeah is Jimmy Butler or now Toler hero is going to get suspended like you can’t trust any of these guys at all some have more level of trust but nothing else has any level of consistency or trust whatsoever in Memphis we we’re actually going to double bang the injury report in Memphis because there is a long list here and I think it’s the first time all season I’ve had a team that has gone onto two pages so jar has this AC shoulder joint issue I’m ruling jar out until about the 11th of January no actual idea on a real timeline they haven’t given us one that means we’re rostering Scotty pipin obviously Sanel Dharma even though they don’t like to give pip and big minutes Santio Dharma sprained his ankle I’ll just say that he’s probably going to going to miss the next few games um they said week to week on that so he’s out for this week maybe he returns the week after I’m having my doubts that he’s going to be available ready to go on the sixth but that’s where we’re at you would think that with old dmer out and with all the other big men out you would get a little bit more action from guys like Jake laravia unfortunately he sprained his ankle in the last game I don’t know any of the severity of that but I’ll suggest that for Tuesday’s game laravia doesn’t play Zack Ed in the concussion protocol you usually don’t come back within 4 from a concussion protocol scenario so I don’t think Ed plays on Tuesday Friday will be a decent return date for him Marcus Smart has another finger problem for the second season in a row uh we’re ruling out until about the 15th of January which again further bumps up larier if he’s available but more importantly Jaylen Wells and more more importantly Scotti Pippen because he’s the only point guard there unless you want to get into the Yuki camura sweep Stakes which you probably shouldn’t Brandon Clark missed the last game with KN saers he’s probably the only one of these guys that I think has a chance to actually play in their next game and that would mean that he would get us 24 minutes or so maybe that scamble and then you got Jay Huff who’s also going to be potentially streamable there I already mentioned uh laravia with his ankle and then there’s the two longer longer term ones with both GJ Jackson and Vince Williams looking for an early February return from a foot fracture for GG and an ankle sprain from Vince Williams but yeah that’s a that’s a lot happening there in LA for the Lakers LeBron missed the last game due to an illness that was on Sat Saturday their next game is uh on Tuesday I would be very surprised if LeBron doesn’t play I’ll label him probable for that one Gabe Vincent missed the last game or left the last game duude to on a bleak strain I had him listed as doubtful but the Lakers have said he’s officially questionable um but he didn’t practice so let’s be fair he’s doubtful when you don’t practice you don’t you don’t really have a good chance of playing in the next game despite a questionable tag our stats and our our record keeping on this suggests that if you are if you’re not practicing and you got a questionable tag then you are a 32% chance of playing which is basically the official designation of the doubtful tag doubtful tag is supposed to be 25% in reality it’s 5% so a questionable didn’t practice tag is basically an official doubtful tag for Gabe we might be getting Christian Wood back at some point he hasn’t played at all all season so I’m not really sure with his knee had a set back there maybe a Friday return but yeah like he’d be the backup to Davis obviously but we wouldn’t be rostering him anywhere Jared Vander buil bar did some practice work non- cont stuff he’s weeks away still and again we’re not caring about that for fantasy and the last one is Jaylen Hood chafino who I’m listing doubtful with just just being just a bit that’s it really he’s just a bit onto the Clippers and only two injuries here we had a couple of other guys in Kobe Brown and Kevin Porter Jr who missed the last game but they’re both off the injury report there’s two guys on there Terence man and Kawhi Leonard Terence man we’re expecting a weekend return from the hand fracture and the target date allegedly for the fun guy kawh Leonard is Saturday as well the 4th of January from his knee issue that was 100% ready for training camp and was ready to go all the way through US Olympic Training Camp back in um July so like I know time must work on a different sort of scale there but You’ think if you were 100% ready in July and then you were also 100% ready to begin training camp on the 1st of October you know a fourth of January return seems reasonable to me it seems reasonable not that there’s anyone lying or there’s no obfuscation or anything like that through any of these situations it all it seem that’s above board to me if you’re ready to go then surely your next game should be 6 months later that’s that’s that’s how I work looks like kawh will be back and yeah I’m I’m I’m very unconfident that he uh makes it through the season playing big minutes and lots of games in Indiana two ankles a lot of them have two Ankles i’ Say most of those players actually have two ankles we’ got two ankle injuries Aaron Smith has been out for weeks with this ankle sprain I I haven’t heard enough to suggest that he’ll be available for Tuesday maybe we look at a Thursday return so I’m going to put him doubtful for that game well Obi toppen has been questionable the last two games he’s now missed two games and left early on Thursday I would think toppen is more likely to play if obit is out it really means that uh jarus Walker hello is able to play a little bit more and be useful for 14 teamers and it gives a little bit more to the tank Tom Bryant as well we got more teams to come back and talk about but today’s episode is brought to you by rocket money yes rocket money do you know that rocket money helps you find the subscriptions that you’ve forgotten about

right let’s go through the final 10 11 teams here uh the Houston Rockets looking okay in terms of the amount of of injuries but we have to be very worried about what is going on with tar e he has now missed uh what is it six consecutive games with lower leg injury management which of course to remind you was a tumor growing on his leg that’s what the injury was he had surgery on that and now it is the pain or whatever management process is randomly out of nowhere and let’s again be blatantly clear this is not injury management you don’t play the whole season and then all of a sudden go yep better manage injury that wasn’t an injury it was a medical procedure I’m very worried I think if you can if you drop Ty E I think you’ll be okay I don’t know when he’s comeing back look he might literally play on Wednesday but the fact that this has crept up again the minutes were already on the way down the production relies on low volume stats I think you move on and you feel all right about it unfortunately and then the Wild Thing J Shawn Tate missed uh last game with an illness that means that we’re getting like 10 minutes or so of Cam Whitmore I people rushed to grab cam Whitmore after two really big games and it clearly didn’t work out uh maybe maybe there’s a chance for wh more because amen Thompson is probably going to get suspended for Wednesday we haven’t heard yet Jaylen green possibly could be suspended I don’t think he will be um T een could miss and Tate could miss but like yeah bit more what might play 15 minutes the path the 240 minute path to get him to 25 minutes is really really hard to figure out it’s it’s it’s not hard it’s impossible so I wouldn’t be uh excited there but I I am very worried about where we’re at with tar in Golden State Brandon psky left the last game with an abdominal strain um was it last game no it was two games ago no no it was the last game he left the last game with an abdominal strain on Saturday he is ruled out for Monday I’m just going to rule him out for the rest of this week I don’t know for sure they haven’t given that timetable so maybe he returns the week after we’re not rostering psky anyway Moses Moody is probable to play today and then Gary Payton’s dealing with a c that I got about a tenth of January return but with PJ jimsky and Payton both out it does mean that other guards can get extra opportunities not that it means that much buddy heel played 15 minutes in the last one Lindy Waters played 14 minutes Moody didn’t play in that one it’s still going to be a mess but it enables probably Dennis sha to play instead of 29 minutes 32 minutes is that enough I’m not sure that it matters he’s been terrible in the minutes he’s played it helps kaminga get a little bit of extra boost off the bench as well but overall I I think you’re not really running to add a heeld or a Waters or a moody or anyone along those lines even though pimk is likely to be missing some time here Detroit well they’re in a good spot injury wise Bobby Clinton’s healthy and no one else is injured so we’re good Denver two big man injuries here one of them is Aaron Gordon who restrained the calf he left Christmas Day game he missed Friday he missed Saturday um very certain he’s not going to play Monday don’t think he plays Wednesday and then they’ve got a um a Friday Saturday back toback home and away against the Spurs although you guys would call it home and Road against the Spurs almost no chance he plays in both of those games he could play one of them um so maybe he’s able to return on the third maybe he returns on the fourth with him out Russell Westbrook remains a mus roster guy pton Watson definitely not for points maybe for categories but they’re not even starting him and then vco chancha who I did think had retor his ACL they’re saying it’s not but they’re also not telling us what is it what it is and that it’s a long-term knee sprin him and Marvin Bagley can do the handshake meme of long-term injuries that are probably costing the season but our teams think we’re not important enough to report upon um yeah welcome to the club cuz that’s what it feels like they both just feel like they’re done for the year and knee all right out all right what does that mean not telling and you actually don’t care enough to Probe on it which is true most people don’t so we don’t get the information but just don’t expect chancha to be back anytime soon I’ve got a late February return for him on the docker now the Dallas Mavericks we actually got an update for this team as well and it was one that’s not great I don’t love this idea um let’s talk about what we do know PJ Washington returns Derek Lively Still Remains is questionable with a hip contusion he’s missed two straight games while he is out it’s obviously Daniel Gafford season and then until Lively gets back to 30 gafford’s going to have utility but longterm I don’t see Gafford there Naj Marshall has three games left on his suspension so he can return Monday the 6th of January and Luca donic is the big one of course he’s out until I think the beginning of February with that c strainer we already know what we’re doing there it’s Spencer dwy and it’s Quenton Grimes and it’s in that order the added thing that happened today well D xm’s out for a few more weeks as well with a wrist injury he hasn’t played all season but now Kyrie is out with with the shoulder which has been bothering him very clearly he’s missed games here and there so that means we’re going to get a lot of dwiti we’re going to get a lot of Grimes we’re going to get more Jaden Hardy both dwiti and Gres become absolute must stream guys and I think must roster guys I don’t think that Kyrie is going to be missing you know long absences here in a row but I think you’re going to have occasional one game offs for him I would very much if he puts together a really strong run in January I would trade him away because a I think the shoulder might linger and two game play Weck so you wait to see how how good he can be how big the games can be and then you try to move off well before Luca returns that would be my my idea there but yeah diny and Grimes just absolutely priorities absolutely only one injury currently in Cleveland that is Isaac aoro who had been starting he’s dealing with a shoulder uh shoulder issue we’ve got him out for at least another week or so maybe a 6th of January return and then he just jumps back into the malange of players in that position Caris LeVert Max stru Dean Wade Sam Merill Isaac aoro even throw Ty Jerome and George Nang in there meaning none of them can play enough to matter for most leagues that’s how I’m viewing that um in Chicago they again they they they don’t skate by with me for their nonsense and how bad of a franchise they are but they do skate by even from me with how bad their injury reporting is I think we forget about this cuz we had so much sympathy for Lonzo B but remember the Lonzo bow injury reporting remember that where it’s like he just didn’t play for two years and they just didn’t say anything oh yeah cool lonzo’s hurt man KNE we’ll see all right sick remember even go back to the Derrick Rose days I’m not saying it’s even the same it’s obviously not the same front office not even saying it’s the same medical staff but like the reports yeah it all starts you know the old fish riding from the head down ridiculous phrase that exists well you know when the reports come go n Derrick’s actually healthy and ready to go we’re not sure why he’s playing maybe he’s just a softc which is me paraphrasing what they did and obviously that really created a rift and a real impact on Derrick Rose um but now they came out and they said official tweet Chicago Bull’s account aumu has suffered a c solia strain and he’ll be re-evaluated in 10 days injury report I assume doubtful he’s not doubtful like he’s out I’m going to tell you he’s doubtful because they officially put it as doubtful he is not doubtful he is out dumu will not play on Monday he won’t playes Wednesday he won’t play Saturday I am certain unless they are just screwing us around but they did the exact same thing with Josh giddy giddy’s like yeah man may maybe outside chance I play Monday so for Saturday questionable he’s not playing he just told us he’s not playing ah but you never know no I do know I do know same as this with dumu I do know he’s not playing because you know who told me that you did you told me he’s not playing so yeah just was out uh LaVine and gidey both listed prob while Jaylen Smith is dealing with an ankle sprain and when Smitty is out it just means that we get a little bit more in terms of minutes for all mate Nick vich and then we get random Tory Craig minutes to play some backup center I’m guessing cuz their their Center depth is um what one may call uh M I don’t know why I said it in French because it’s not like there’s french players on this team for the Charlotte Hornets yeah I know this is where we we do the goofy thing isn’t it because lamelo ball Brandon Miller Cody Martin are all doubtful for saus and they all missed the last game for saus and my my theory remains if you haven’t heard it I’ll just quickly tell you now they played two games over like seven nights here so I think that they said all right you guys are a little bit banged up it’s nothing major but if we sit you down give you a full week off we rest it you only miss two games you’re not missing four games you’re not missing five games you missed two and I think we’ll be all right this is if you’re going to be worried about a lamelo ball shutdown be worried about a Brandon Miller shutdown exact same scenario except Miller’s actually been injured more times than ball this season but I’m not worried about either of those things and again and a shutdown usually happens if someone is injured and then often they can extend that out and they did that with ball in in not not two seasons ago when he could to have surgery on a fractured ankle that was obviously an injury right but last season he had an ankle spray and they just didn’t bring him back and I think similar with Mark Williams I think that they could have perhaps brought them back for the final three four weeks of the season but they didn’t that’s and we in head-to-head leagues we adjust our dates so that those last three weeks to three and a half weeks is where all the problems really do arise when the nonsense happening usually you might get one or two Strays mixed in there but it doesn’t you know guys it doesn’t just happen as a thing where healthy players sit down through January it doesn’t and I I think I think part of the not to go on a rant about this but the nonsense fine that the Atlanta Hawks got about Trey young with the doctor another doctor allegedly telling him he was okay to play I think part of that is just the league saying if you sit a healthy guy we’re going to come down on you but we’ll give you the last few weeks of the season do whatever so I don’t think there’s any real risk of fake injuries for a lot of these guys creeping up at this point but this is what I think is going on with these guys again I hope that is what’s going on Trey man with a back issue few weeks I I yeah they just keep pushing him out and pushing him out I said this probably a month or so ago I actually think this is a massive long-term injury for Trey and I yeah I actually would if we don’t get Trey man again this season I wouldn’t be surprised this seems like a significant back problem and they just keep pushing it out every two weeks every two weeks I hope that I’m not right there I’m probably not for the Brooklyn Nets they’re going to get the traded guys available D’Angelo Russell and um who’s the other one uh Maxwell Lewis I’m guessing for their game on Wednesday and then we still have a lot of unknowns about how all that works does D’Angelo Russell get traded again I know there was a report that D’Angelo is going to get bought out I don’t believe that’s going to be the case um and that was also reported by Mike Scotto of hubsy he does not create the hubsy global rating so he gives a pass on that one saying that there’s no plans to buy him out because I don’t believe it really makes a lot of sense because a if you get bought out there are only certain teams that you can sign with because he makes over the mid level he can’t sign with any team that’s first or second apron so he can’t go to a playoff team that’s one of those teams and there’s a lot of those apron teams that’s a rule you can’t do that so why would he give up the money cuz he can’t go to one of those top level teams okay if he gets out he loses bird rights the only real team that with big cap space in the off offseason is probably Brooklyn and Detroit they probably and like is jezo Russell going to get a big contract from Detroit I doubt it so yeah in terms of being able to like sign somewhere for a decent contract he needs bird rights retained to either go back to Brooklyn or to do sign and trade somewhere else cuz there’s just not many teams with much cap space so I I don’t think it makes a lot of that he could easily get f injured towards the end of the season but I don’t think it really makes a lot of sense for DLo to be bought out it’s an easy narrative go oh well yeah they they want to lose and DLo can go somewhere else and play somewhere else but in terms of contract stuff and CBA stuff and you know financials for DLo and for teams I’m not sure it really makes any sense for that to happen traded somewhere else sure that’s possible but we’ll find out cam Johnson had a hit problem came back played on Sunday and left due to a hit problem and the hit problems were what made him fall in the the draft so they’ve got a back-to-back Wednesday Thursday be very very stunned if Cam Johnson plays both of those games I’ll rule him out for Wednesday at least I’ll put him doubtful for Wednesday we might be getting the return of Z Williams who’s been out for a very long time with this knee issue they got a back toback so we won’t play Both of the games maybe he’s back here I saw someone in the YouTube comment say Z Williams is going to be the big winner from the trade with D Smith gone I just don’t think he’s very good um so maybe he is but he’s also not healthy he also doesn’t really play that same position although Simmons could play the four and plays a three that’s possible en Zoya does get somewhat of a boost but I just don’t know when he’s going to be available and he is remarkably inconsistent remarkably trenard Watford hamstring maybe we get him back across the weekend and he might get some of those backup minutes that Dron sharp is getting but we don’t worry too much about him the other one is buan banovich I just have no idea he’s probably he’s my only wfk for this uh this run through I just don’t know if he’s going to play or when he’s going to play or why he would play on this team um knee surgery I’m sorry foot surgery wrist issue I I just don’t think we’re going to see uh bu bogdanovich playing for the Nets the Boston Celtics three guys there one is Drew holiday with a shoulder issue I think he’s missed two consecutive games with that one three consecutive games actually with a shoulder and Pingas has now missed two games in a row with an ankle sprain they have a Thursday Friday back toback coming up so Pingas is going to miss one of those games for sure Drew could easily miss those as well Drew is not a 12 team League must anymore I don’t think think Pingus obviously is but haford is not a must roster player even if Pingus is out he’s very iffy he seems to have lost quite a bit there and the other guy is 2A Legend Anton Watson who is dealing with uh an adductor issue Watson has not even been active for a single game this season yeah the other guys can be active for a few gam like old mate uh Drew Peterson and JD Davis and they’ve been active for games Watson hasn’t been active for a single game yet this season and lastly we go on to the Atlanta Hawks Dyson Daniels both of their games across the weekend with an illness no real expectation that he’s going to miss on Wednesday so I think he’ll be ready to go bogun bogdanovich They’re calling it a leg contusion that is four consecutive games with a leg contusion I don’t think you need to hold on to banovich his legs have been a real problem this season his production is down his minutes are down he hasn’t received any real bump at all I don’t think we hold on there and then the news came out which is the news that I was expecting hand fracture hand surgery for Larry NS uh he’s done for all of January I’m thinking maybe a return around the the allstar Break um and we’re dropping it very clearly and like I mentioned on the show the day this does nothing for narong I know you might think it does something for aong it doesn’t cuz when a Kong was playing Larin an was impacting him by playing zero minutes and now with the kongu back lar an is going to play zero minutes it’s the exact same scenario it was before so if you’re alling on a Kong before don’t let me dissuaded you can go for it but if you didn’t like what a Kongo was doing before literally nothing has changed like absolutely literally nothing has changed with the kongu situation cuz now played 0 minutes and now he is playing zero minutes it is the same now that is not to say that a kongu can’t be better but it’s got absolutely nothing to do with Larry NS and N Nance of course you drop and that’s that all right we are done that was lengthy that’s what she said um and we at the end of it that’s what she said also thumb it up subscribe and get ready for your day it is New Year’s Day I don’t care if you make resolutions or not also you shouldn’t care whether I care or not but it is maybe a time for to refle but again let’s let’s let’s reflect on on positivity what did you do good what are we going to do good in this season it’s not about making resolutions because sometimes setting tasks and failure on them can be a net negative anyway but just we’re all we want the Vibes we want the positivity guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone see you [Music]
