    Highly recommend him to rehab his ankle joint while away from basketball activities or else will have chronic injury all through out next year. Good thing he will be coming from bench which reduces his minutes per game.

    Bummer for those at summer league
    Don’t forget the Wynn is the better buffet than the bachannal cause you won’t have enough time or are fat enough to eat everything in 90 minutes

    with a sprained ankle all you can really do is practice freethrows

    blessing in disguise

    He should clearly sit out of Summer League, it's pretty meaningless. I'm sure he'll focus on getting through his first NBA training camp and then the greater season.

    Probably the right move from a team perspective.
    But as a fan, now I don't get to see him again until October?
    :(

    He has way better vision than Head Honc... I mean bench guy. Thompson is an actual point guard and we dont have to watch KPJ fail at trying to be that ever again thank god.

    Exact same thing happened with Giddey, twisted ankle first summer league game, zero impact on his season.

    I didn't think so either until I saw posters saying he wasn't really hurt. Like the latest post here mentioning the staff just wants us to think he's hurt when he is lol. I figured it was a level 2 sprain.
