    Wood needs to stop forcing his way through crowds all the time

    So your saying he shouldn't do his job?

    It was a freak accident, it happens.

    No update yet. Reporter Adam Spolane confirmed that there's no update on timetable today for Wood besides being OUT tomorrow. He guesses that since the team had today off, the earliest we might hear on this matter is with Silas during the pregame interview. Nothing from Feigen, Iko, Bijani, Ali, Berman, DuBose, etc.

    I agree - this was a freak incident. What Wood needs to do is not avoid his actions on the court but figure out a way to bullet proof those ankles with extensive prehab similar to what Curry did after he had those notorious glass ankles hence being a blessing in disguise to the Warriors to get him on a team-friendly contract for at least a few years. Curry still wears bulky braces and occasionally sprains it but certainly less severe than those high grade sprains that used to derail his earlier seasons. He coincidentally got in touch with a creative trainer that corrected a lot of his biomechanics and now he's precise AF on that front.

    Personally, I've gone through the Grade 3 sprain (tear) and was in a case for months so hoping this is not the case. He'll definitely need a long-term prehab solution going into the off-season because his style of play, this won't be the end of freak injuries like that. Twice in three weeks is scary. There could be compensating injuries if he doesn't iron out his biomechanics for the long-run later. CP3 worked with David Alexander of DBC Fitness in Miami to get all of his biomechanics fixed in addition to this vegan diet revamp that helped reduce inflammation. Ironically, Victor Oladipo worked with Alexander immediately prior to tearing his quad and didn't work with him afterwards. Wall also works with that same trainer. Hopefully Wall and Dipo vouches for David Alexander as a go to fix hi biomechanics.

    Week-to-week status is correlated with bone-on-bone

    Rockets just reported that he'll be evaluated on a weekly basis which is a relief because the alternative is on a monthly basis or straight up saying there's a strain. Therefore, sigh of relief coming from me. Feigen, Shams reported the same.

    We might as well take bets how long he will be out.
