    TBD, depends on the severity of the injury and type of treatment provided. Medical practices and procedures is one of the fastest improving areas out there for the modern civilization.

    Maybe for average people. What athletes and professional players put their bodies through is entirely un-natural.... whether its throwing a baseball repetitively at 90+mph, getting hit at force equivalent to a car accident on the football field, or having to make sharp/quick pivot movements on a basketball court that sometimes doesn't give.

    Yes, they've devoted an entire field of medicine to fixing these injuries (because they largely don't happen outside of playing the sport)... but it still doesn't mean the human body is designed to withstand any of it again and again.

    I think it sucks. Would have sucked worse if we had him but still …. Watching the Docs video it wasn’t on Lebron and Chet has been in those same situations countless times. Freak accident. Wasn’t even the floors fault. If we get first pick next year Iam still all in on Wemby though. Some of this is growing pains for really young centers. Embiid is an example.

    Lol. That injury got nothing to do with his build. It’s a freak injury. Gerald Green, Korkmaz suffered from this injury too. It’s not like Chet has a broken bone or fracture.

    Why does the NBA care if Dame gets help?

    They are rewarding Dame for staying in Portland and not high tailing it
    to New York or L.A. or Miami like Mitchell is trying to do.

    You have to keep some smaller markets fans happy or just fans in the
    the big markets will be watching. Wembanyama and Dame keeps the
    the Blazers halfway watchable over just Wembanyama.

    Dame also gets rewarded by his contract progressing up to $60+ mil.
    Wembanyama rookie contract offsets the Dame contract size.

    This is exactly why you don’t draft white people.

    This guy talks about white vs black foot arches


    In all my semesters in physiology and anatomy or kinesiology
    I don't recall this being mentioned. I can say blacks have a
    much higher rate for sickle cell disease.

    I know it's a conversation borderline "Jimmy the Greek" stuff and I can
    neither confirm nor deny the truth of it all.

    The reason I said stay away from Chet is because of a kyphotic
    "hunchback" appearance or posture. Usually a sign of calcium
    deficiency that leads to osteoporosis. I said Chet may not
    being breaking bones......but pulled ligaments or tendons
    may occur as he goes up against bigger NBA players.

    I said don't draft him unless he submits to a Bone Density test.
