Great the nail in the coffin
Neither do we
Who?
They’re saying his hamstring is fine but his conditioning is not. Not surprised based on that video of him and Billy. This isn’t acceptable anymore
As is he’s not close to return in October? Oh well, at least he might be back two weeks away in December according to Pels staff
Yea Iām sure not allowing him to play basketball is fine for his conditioning right?
Edit: the reason Iām so befuddled on this whole thing with Zion is this isnāt something with just Zion. There is something rotten with this team on handling injuries. Look at BIs foot debacle, or the updates on Jose.
alright….
​
yikes
Iām sick of Zion and Michael Thomas.
Trade him
Someone in the FO has got to fucking go.
This absurd we been getting vague ass messaging for basically 2 years on this bullshit and we keep finding out at the end “lol jk we barely know if this kid even alive TBH”
I hate it here
Just ready for the off-season at this pointā¦.
Absolutely no way this bullshit can continue for another year. Half a decade of less than 40% games played from the “franchise cornerstone”, with nothing but a first round exit in the playoffs to show for it. Either the player, the medical staff mismanaging him, or the FO letting this charade play out year after year like it’s in any way acceptable for the fans and city as a whole needs to go if (…when) this happens AGAIN next season.
My vote is the medical staff; guys have come back 100% from invasive surgery to critical joints faster than this team gets its guys back on the court for… toe sprains and hamstring strains!! Zion has been getting all the flack considering his history…. where’s Jose fuckin Alvardo??? Been MONTHS and we still don’t have anything resembling a timetable for his return!!! Did we ever even get one in the first place???? At least Zion did a single 3 on 3 practice before these dumbasses shut him down for reasons they’re too chickenshit to admit publicly. You’d think Jose ruptured both achilles with the way he vanished with no return in sight and not a single substantive update since his injury occurred half a season ago…
We know this.
4 months gonna become 7 months for a hamstring strain. Something gotta change dude this teams window is now and its not gonna be open forever
If you’re fuming, do what I did and hop off social media. We’ve got to accept reality this season. I have made the choice to not let cj mcterrorist or zion willheplaysoon dictate my mood for the rest of the season.
Itās the smart decision to just shut him down for the playoffs. We need him for 20ish games next year until he gets hurt again. That way we can probably use him for playoffs 2024, but even then, Iām hesitant. Letās just shut him down until we make our real playoff push in 2030.
All the Zion apologist owe me an apology for dick sucking him so hard and being his online protector bc I said to trade him. 112/338 games aināt it and heās worse then that idiot that left to go play in LA.
