    wtf. Jabari is actually a big part of what we do given his skillset and size.

    As far as who should start in his place(after tonight), I'd say Amen. He replaced Alpi in the lineup last season and the team did pretty well.

    I want to say its not a big deal but thinking back jabari has been huge in these big games we've won recently. Wouldnn't have won those without him.

    At least it’s the off-hand, as they say



    Tari has been participating in practices. Imagine if Tari hit Jabari’s hand. Or Whitmore, after that interview. lulz

    10000%. We used to hate on him. But he has really grown into a solid player, especially with his hands and boards an defense.

    So after all-star break. He’ll probably be rusty too. Could be worse. Who smacked his hand? Either Adams or Tate hacking azz

    Real mood killer.

    He seemed to be finding some basic consistency and is an important part of our switch defense so this is going to hurt.

    Offensive spacing is going to just get worse now. He is by far our best big man shooter.

    This is some silver lining for Cam truthers. This is probably gonna give Cam a chance to step up and show us what he's got. I hope it's not just a lot more Jaesean Tate.

    Bari was really starting to be consistent with his jump shot too

    Time to make a trade for a serviceable 4

    Tobias? Is he still on that horrible contract?

    Man he was easily our best 3pt shooter lately. Crazy as I suggested to maybe move Brooks to PF and Amen to SF just so the latter could start. Looks like this might be possible now since Tari is not returning soon. My prediction: Tate or Jeff starts.

    Bari is a massive loss. He does all the non-flashy things that result in winning.

    @Jontro confirmed this injury happened while Jabari was at home playing ps5 for 18 hours a day like he usually does or onlyfans binge.
