    It depends if the bruise is just deep or if it involves the muscle as well as much of the muscle. Also how big it is. If pushes the muscles out of alignment or includes a significant part of the muscle it could dramatically affect strength, mobility, and leaping ability, especially one like the glute.

    The MRIs said he was fine, he'll have 3 days of rest so he's 100% playing and refs will likely feel bad for him and gift him 20FTs.

    If that's the case, might as well undercut him intentionally this time and make him land on his ass again.

    We love you Jimmy. Take all the time you need. Your health matters, don't rush it.

    Nice attempt to control the narrative, but let’s go at him for sure. Try to grab ass and all that.

    their fans are saying he'll be good to go. he'll start his 50pt revenge tour with at least 20 assists from the refs.

    Udoka needs to add a little good will out reach and good sportsmanship ritual prior to game 3. Each member of the team and coaching staff needs to go say hi to all the Warriors before the game, shake hands and then slap their butt. We'll see if Jimmy can play after that.

    I believe he also had a deep glute contusion in 2023 playoff run and didn't miss time... in fact came back next game and scored 56 and 42 to get past the #1 seed Bucks.

    Well, yeah. Because the Rockets are dirty. I mean, like, dirty.

    It probably bodes well for Houston if he plays. If he does play, I wonder if he’ll continue to guard sengun…since Draymond couldn’t handle the assignment.

    How would you feel if Draymond undercut Alp or Amen on purpose?
