Shit looked nasty on the replay, good to hear it wasn’t anything major(the injury still sucks ass)

Bone bruises are trickier tho. I remember Kendrick Nunn went out for the season because of it and was never the same. There’s no set timeline for them.

Bone bruise fucking sucks. Hope he gets back before the playoff run. Time for PWat to step up and hit some more 3s

I was worried too. I’ll always love Cam J but I was lucky enough to be at the game against the Knicks where he hit the game winner, so he’s got a special place in my heart. Plus that damn smile.

When Lonzo went down it was listed as a bone bruise too if I remember correctly.

I got a bone bruise while climbing and it’s a really slow recovery. Sounds easy but you can’t do much other than wait. Recovery time can also have a high variance.

I’ll fly him out to Germany to get that Kobe treatment. Should be good as new come playoffs.

Rco was fucking electric for like a month after the trade. After the bone bruise he was a shell of himself and made that trade look way worse 

Kendrick Nunn was out a season and a half because of a bone bruise he supposedly suffered by hitting a coffee table.

Man I haven’t thought about Robert Covington in a long time. Crazy how some big time players just sorta fade away

Bone bruise is what Lonzo initially had which led to him sitting out for over 2 years

Fell on my elbow 3 months ago, still recovering lol

I slipped and fell on a piece of ice on the floor in my kitchen one time and landed on my knee, ended up with a bone bruise. It took about four months before I was totally right again.

Be quiet and let us have this one. Congrats on winning the Christmas Day game 😂

When I was young I bruised my sternum and it was the most excruciating month of my life. I can’t imagine it on a load bearing area in the legs.

Annoys me to no end when bone bruises are reported as “no structural damage”. If there was no structural damage the dude could keep playing on it! And if I remember high school bio correctly, bones are structural by definition.

He’s just gonna have to thug it out then.

It’s fortunate that it happened at this point of the season so he can get plenty of recovery time. Health is the #1 priority.

Hopefully with the emergence of Spencer Jones and Watson when AG and CB make their way back we’ll be in a good place to make a solid push for seeding but it was gonna be rough if he was out for the year indefinitely

Bone bruises sound simple, but they’re notoriously painful and fickle and can be VERY slow to recover

I hit my shin pretty hard years and years ago, I felt pain for months, and I had a mark on my shin for years. It wasn’t nice. I can’t imagine playing a high-level sport even a month after the hit, and the shin is painful but less complex than the knee. I hope it’s nothing serious.

*ravaged lol. Ravished means something totally different.

Murray finally having a healthy season has seemingly cursed the rest of Denvers role players.

“Ravished” 🥀

Fate is so cruel lmao, meanwhile MPJ is healthy as can be

Supposedly Gordon should be back around the new year for them and Braun shortly after

Watson was out for a couple weeks too

Nuggets are scary, half of the starters are out on injuries and they are scoring 125 on average per game.

Seriously, it feels like every time they start getting healthy someone else goes down. At least this is better news than it could have been - that landing looked scary. Really hope they can get everyone back and have some time to actually play together before playoffs. Hard to build chemistry when your roster is constantly rotating through the injury list

They’ll get AG and CB back for sure. A bone bruise can be anywhere from a month or 2 or years.

Luckily, as a fan, it’s been fun despite the injuries. There’s a level of comfort knowing that we’re pretty much a lock for playoffs even with some players missing. The way it’s shaping up in the west, seeding won’t be as important as everyone thought. Between the Nuggets, Thunder, Wolves, Spurs, Rockets and Lakers… everyone is scary and anyone could realistically take a first round exit to any team in a 7 game series. Hell even with current standings I wouldn’t trust Steph to not drop 50 for 3 games in a row on you guys or the Suns not to run around like crack addled guards and drop threes on us fueled by nothing but Monster energy drinks and rage. We just gotta get there and hoop.

Probably not, Spurs are rolling rn

No chance we can keep top 2 the entire time. 3 starters is too much for any team to endure.

Hope we stay in the top 6

Sounds like AG and CB are a few games away from playing 

It’s a shame Jokic isn’t as valuable as some other players on higher seeded teams. Then we’d definitely keep a top 2 seed even with 4 starters injured

But thunder fans have taught me teammates play a very small part of basketball, it’s mostly about individual contributions.

but I’d guess 3-6 weeks based on my own experience.

Bone bruise severity and recovery time can swing wildly from short-term inconvenience to season ending.

Jokic carrying absolute bums to 6th seed in 2022 was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. Half of their rotation during that season was out of the league in 2 years. Jokic made Monte Morris and Austin Reaves Rivers playoff-level guards.

“Carrying” when Jamal Murray is having an all star season averaging 25ppg on 63% TS and 7 assists a game.

Jokic is an incredible player having another MVP level season but c’mon lol.

& people will still say he isn’t the MVP

Playing on a team that is seen as at worst a tier 2 contender as a starter makes this big news no matter who it was. It was notable when Braun got hurt despite still being on his rookie deal for the same reason.

nah
