    Just a bruise. No reason to push it right now so let him take weird trick shots and yell at Maxi from the sideline

    wtf is it april already? are we the first seed?

  3. longliveorangic

    Luka gets to rest one more week. Nothing serious…

    Best case scenario he misses the rest of training camp and is back for opening night. Worst case scenario he misses the first 2-3 weeks of the season. Could be worse, plus our guard depth gets some more time to shine. Looking at you Hardy!

    Could be worse. 3 weeks till the season basically. May sit some/all of preseason but that’s fine as long as he’s good to go by seasons start.

    Sucks, but he really needs all the rest he can get while he can.

    On a related note, I now have very little desire to go to the Fan Jam this weekend.

    3 weeks till the start, we also won’t have to rely on Luka as much with the depth we have.

    I actually can’t believe how dramatic fans are about this stuff lol. Obviously not ideal but it’s a bruise. Relax.

    Wtf man.

    Hopefully he can return before the preseason ends because it would be nice to see all the starters get some playing time together before the season starts.

  11. Hopefully, it’s just the one preseason game. 

  12. At least calf hasn’t historically been a problem for him

    I’m scared for Luka lowkey his body has hella mileage. He basically on his second professional career since joining the nba.

    Oh it’s a contusion? That’s not bad at all, I was worried it was a strained calf, which is way worse.

  15. i’m that kid on the bus in the back who says i’m in danger.

    A calf bruise shouldn’t be a big deal but this dude’s health is starting to make me anxious

  17. duckmadfish

    I just read that this happened a week prior to the training yesterday

    Everything is going to be fine guys

    It’s a bruise not a strain, calm down people.

  19. allmyhomiesluvluka

    It happened last weekend in a workout. If you saw him during media day he looked fine. Nothing to worry about.

  20. Cuckledoodle

    Happened before training camp, probably just a minor bruise. He did a full day of practice on it somehow.

  21. PathWinter

    😭 please lord protect him at all costs

  22. Feuertotem

    So the cycle of “he will be better next game” restarts again.

  23. vlad_thegod

    He just doesn’t want to do the fan jam
