Jesus we just can’t catch a break
How much time?
Goodbye
Last time Mobley was out for an extended period of time he developed a 3 pt shot, so maybe this time he’ll gain 20 pounds
Disappointing Year 3 for Mobley to say the least. Little offensive progression and apparently he’s injury prone now (2nd injury this year and this happened on an uncontested dunk)
That max deal could cook this franchise.
Tell him to work out upper body every day. Legs in offseason but make him come back a bit bigger
Pain
On the bright side, evan looked amazing coming back from the last injury
Get this guy back a few weeks before the playoffs and get him in game shape for round 1 game 1. It’ll be alright folks
ah, bummer. hope he gets a few regular season games under his belt.
Either the player development staff or his trainers did him no favours in Year 3.
Not sure I understand why they had him training like a back to the basket big. His face up game is not as raw as one would think, 3 point shot will develop slowly but training him like Giannis didn’t help him
A supercharged Pau Gasol will always be my comp for E man, and I think he’s got the tools to get there
I mean this is probably good news. I was expecting something very very serious after seeing he was on crutches yesterday. Fingers crossed.
When you get tickets for Friday to see a full lineup… pain
Damn. It really felt like he was starting to pick up some confidence in the past few weeks.
It will be interesting to see if one star guard and one star big being on the floor will result in us going back to the shooting strategy that put us on that big run of wins
Do we got an extra spot for another big body?
Mobley is just too injury prone on top of having a weak mindset. I would trade him this offseason before his value totally plummets
Damn this sucks for Mobley’s development. Gonna stall out a bit. And the timing of this after being a DPOY candidate last year. Hopefully he goes all in during the off-season
Rest him up till the playoffs, we can’t risk our asset losing value by not giving him the recovery time he needs
This is actually better news than I expected. I was seeing reports that he was on crutches and had a very swollen ankle. 4-6 weeks is probably what we’re looking at based on what I’m reading now.
