Could be worse. Hopefully, we can win game 4 without him, so he gets 11 days off.
That’s great news. Guessing he will sit at least for game 4 though.
sigh of relief was heard across Texas
Anyone else surprised he’s not concussed?
Thank god. Get some rest, big fella.
Surprised it wasn’t but worse but glad. There’s lot of time to recover before the Finals.
I’m glad to hear that. Hopefully Dallas will win game 4 so D-Live and Luka can get some rest. As well as Maxi hopefully making his return.
Game 4 will be the hardest game of the series so far. We will be without Lively from the start and we’ll likely see a lot of blitzing forcing Gafford short roll decisions. Moreover our rim protection is signifcantly worse, we saw it with Ant, KAT, Naz suddenly being able to get layups and easy shots at the rim. Wolves will try evertyhing they can to prevent a sweep as well.
If I got kneed like that, I’d be out for a month
He should be back for the Finals though. We’ve got 11 days
That was a scary injury. Hope he’s ok and ready for game 4.
Twolves odds got a whole lot better with his injury. Very fortunate he’s OK overall.
That’s damn good to hear.
Seriously, that slow motion knee to the back of the head snapping his head forward looked so bad …… it could have been much worse.
Get well soon, brother. See you in the NBA Finals.
Yeah just keep him out game 4 keep him FARRRR away from KAT
I hope he is healthy, wanted to see how KP and him battle it out in the paint
Yea, he is not playing. Not worth it. I expect a Lukai 70 pointer.
I hope Maxi’s back to at least shake off the rust.
If he’s not concussed he’s the luckiest player ever
why are they updating us on his neck and not his head?
good for him, that looked TERRIBLE
I was worried. It was looking a lot worse live
I feel like calling it a neck injury is a way to dodge the concussion protocol. He looked dazed
The neck is easier to diagnose than a head injury. I’d be much more worried about a concussion.
I’m sorry but “Second’s neck” sounds hilarious.
I’m glad he is ok. Neck injuries are never fun.
Rest up Dereck. We all wanna see you back on the court 100% in the finals.
Good to hear it’s not a neck injury. Get healthy!
>Kidd said he and Lively sat together on the bus and watched MacGruber during the ride home, and that Lively laughed throughout the movie.
His health is more important. Next man up!
How did he not get concussed there? His head got nailed.
Man, I’m glad he’s ok. Bruh be hooping and that was a freak accident.
Make the decision for him – make him take game four off so he doesn’t have to.
Mavs need to win to get rest. A nearly two week break is what they need more than anything else. Empty the tanks for game 4 and earn that break sooner than later
