    Don’t know yet - he was in practice recently but didn’t finish the last practice but was expected to play in Summer League regardless so…

    Im just wondering if Jabari will be tabbed a hall of famer after summer league game #1 or nah? :D

    Reactionary takes are awesome by the way. So much material for the end of season roast off!

    Is there any real, credible source saying Garuba is out of shape and not playing well? Everything I’ve seen says he made major improvements and is playing the best anyone’s ever seen out of him.

    I’m just leery cause there are so many wannabes on Twitter now so I don’t trust every rumor.

    So excited about SL Game Day today. Like many I haven’t been this excited about Rockets Summer League in 10 years. I get excited and watch each year but this year is special.

    There's a pic of him in the locker room with some B cup man breasts on him so maybe thats where the out of shape quips are coming from? Hey all Im saying is that it isnt stopping Kenny Lofton Jr right?

    Really bummed I can’t be there to see this in person, but I’m gonna make it to game 3. I know it’s stupid to bet on summer league, but I do every time I’m in Vegas for this event. Not sure what odds Vegas is giving, but take the Rockets!!!!

    Haha ok that’s what I thought it came from. That picture isn’t great and his posture leaning over makes it more than it is in my opinion. People taking that and making the huge leap to say he’s out of shape is way off I think. He kinda has a skinny Zach Randolph upper body thing going on anyways.

    Here he is a month ago and he looks just fine.

    Looking forward to some create-first point guard play from the rookie.

    SMH...

    This probably why the Rockets wanted another big man.

    This isn't just a game for these guys it's earning a living

    Household names in the NBA are so set you will never hear them mention it, but for summer leaguer and g-league guys rent it due and they might not make it.

    Have Jabari just be a gunner - I don’t care have him shoot it and shoot it some more Green light!

    Jabari Smith and Wesson! Shoot it !

    His ankle can't handle the weight gain, should probably just cut this fat ass now.
