    Just throwing this out there

    An "ankle injury" that intermittently bothers someone coincidentally when they chuck some air, brick a gimme lay up or make a WTF decision and are embarrassed by it, IS NOT AN INJURY.

    Tell people you never played sports without telling people you never played sports.

    Have had my share of knees and ankles. Don't recall them ever "acting up" only when I ****** up then miraculously getting better the next trip down the field or court.

    Have you experienced this phenomenon?

    An ankle injury is a lingering pain in the ass injury that tends to flare up.... and when you are playing through an injury you feel it a hell of a lot more when things are going bad and you might not feel it at all when things are going well.

    It's similar to how when you are locked in and focused, you typically won't hear the crowd, if something breaks that focus, all of a sudden you start to hear them.

    You'd know that if you ever played sports.... like any real sport.

    Thanks Bobby for your medical opinion. I feel truly educated now on non existent injuries. Guess you have experienced this phenomenon as well. Now I get why you back this ish up.

    Play on!

    Like I said, it's obvious you never played any real sport, so I don't blame you for your ignorant hot take..... but I will laugh at you for it.

    I've had 14 casts on my ankles over the years, when I was hoopin. Always, crossover, drive the lane , and come down on someone's foot.
    Anyway, these things don't just magically go away. And, to attempt to play through them without missing games is brutal...tough to square up your man on D, and stay there..always wanting to settle, and not making a bunch of cuts/moves....A lot of you folks have no idea what is going on. I hope when he's healthy, y'all back him up with the same vigor that you tear him down. But, we all know that's not going to happen because of the agenda laden cabal. Yeah, he needs to learn how to handle certain things better, but you guys make NO attempt to understand the totality of the situation.

    This is what I imagine when someone from CF says they've had basketball related injuries.

    Difficult situation. I'm fairly certain KPJ will be a steal for his next team and we'll look dumb for giving up on him.

    Don't see what's difficult, this stuff happens to players all the time on losing teams at this point in the season.

    KPJ had been playing to well so now all the haters have found something to pile up on.

    I'ts actually very funny how pent-up some of these guys have been.

    It's funny to me that the guys who went above and beyond when they were sh*tting on Green saying he was immature, work ethic stuff was all pr fluff, posts on Instagram too much, etc. Seem to be the same dudes that bend over backwards for a dude that is everything they pretended Green was. It's almost like there are narratives theses clowns push no matter what. The fact that they dismiss dudes outright quitting and downplay players that actually work hard is hilarious to me.

    steal? He's a loser who doesn't impact winning at all. folks go through all the mental hoops to try to make themselves believe something that just isn't there. the lame excuses for him are laughable
