    I just came of a sprained ankle and it took me almost 3 months to get me feeling decent.

    Hopefully the trainers can give him some magic water to help him heal faster.

    Ankle can rotate inward like that at some pretty extreme angles and bounce back. If it rotates outward, that's when you have problems with stuff breaking.

    Probably has a lump the size of a softball today, but I bet he makes it back by the start of the regular season.

    The crazy thing is he had already missed a few games for the Australian team after spraining the other ankle.

    Maybe he can pop it back in like Tony Finau did.

    That looks like it has a minimal nondisplaced fracture. That's 3 months of crutches and 3 months of rehab.

    Is his contract guaranteed? Can he be cut? @BimaThug do you know?

    I don't know. Looks like it could be between 3 weeks and 3 months. Let's see what the doctors say. Might need a training camp body.

    Biyombo, Dedmon and Ibaka still available.

    That would be very wrong.

    But isn't there this injury exception thing (for salary cap purposes)?
