    I haven't actually seen anyone here celebrate his injury, contrary to some posts. I wish him well.

    Lebron already taking the cubs out. Please don't send Jabari to these games. lol.

    I was scared about Chet's build. The same reason I'm scared about Wembanyama's multiple early injuries already. But let's face it - this could just be a freak injury and even Steph was frail and injured early in his career. Stuff happens and this doesn't mean his career is done. Good luck to him, and hopefully this is just a one-off that he comes back ok from because the dude is truly a freak.

    Yes, I think you're reading it wrong. I see someone saying we dodged a bullet. That's not celebrating his injury. That's saying we may have gotten lucky.

    I see a lot of guarded responses because Rockets fans know better than pretty much any other team in the league what it's like to have your hopes destroyed by random injuries. Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Chris Paul's injuries all had huge impacts on the Rocket's championship possibilities. It's completely reasonable to say that if the Rockets were "lucky" we might have 2-3 more championships... however everyone knows that in addition to being good in the NBA, you have to be durable to survive the schedule AND LUCKY. The Rockets never had all three.

    Maybe I misread then. I thought he was referring to the twitter responses.

    This is why it's silly for people to complain that they don't see enough of our players in these supposed runs.

    They are glorified pick-up games, they don't actually learn or develop anything new, and frankly speaking they are unsupervised environments.

    For all we know, it wasn't the Lebron drive that injured Chet, but mostly the poor conditions of the court (which was apparently so wet and slippery that the game was cancelled).

    Don't b like Asian Sensation and keep your player hatred to the correct thread. We don't need anti kpj nonsense in thread not even related to him.

    Idk if u acting ignorant on purpose. But u do u spew anti kpj nonsense if that makes your day i guess.

    Rockets still havent make a final decision on kpj yet so the bullet hasn't dodge yet. Which makes your comment on this thread about kpj even more out there.

    Pretty sure they’d prefer he not be having lower body injuries before ever suiting up to play a real nba game.

    Not like they were going to win a bunch of games with or without Chet.

    I'm no doctor, but I noticed the report used plural - ligaments.

    For foot injuries (like Curry), they specifically mentioned one individual ligament that was injured on the foot. In this report, they seem to be implying there are multiple ligaments affected.

    I hope he invests his money wisely. This may be his only contract. Be smart big guy! I wish him a long and productive career though.
