[Injury] Wemby goes down holding his knee, limps to the locker room
jokic and wemby going down in the same week would just be so fucked
2025 really trying to drag the early part of 2026 down with it
2026 be like watch this shit
”Yall MFs ain’t getting shit this year either.”
“Thought shit was gonna be sweet in 26, huh? Ya THOUGHT, dummy!”
“OKC gonna win the chip this year too and there ain’t nothing y’all can do about it either”
It’s only paying it forward for what 2024 did to it!
Thunder getting to sleep walk through the West after being challenged for 1 week would be so fucked
i mean they’ll still have to end up going thru Joker and hopefully wemby too.
Just imagine this scenario
2 seed spurs vs whoever 3 seed rockets vs 6 seed nuggets
Love us or hate us, the Lakers will soon be the only hope in the West to stop OKC.
Yeah, we’re fucked aren’t we.
Refs will be confused as hell but probably will lean in OKC’s favor. I don’t love your chances.
will lean in OKC’s favor.
Over the Lakers??? I know yall hate the Thunder, but come on. Lol.
Isn’t OKC very mid to low when it comes to FT differential?
JV just went out for the nuggets a minute ago too.
Hide all the NBA bigs this week, they’re cursed
Sengun has been out with a calf injury lately as well
shaq overextended his stomach, too, smh
Was that a Christmas related injury?
christmas, thanksgiving, st. paddy’s, every meal, every day
If SGA gets hurt next then maybe it really is the Knicks year
Knicks vs Timberwolves, because every team lost a big star.
But then you have those damn Lakers who can lose a Lebron level player and just play better.
Awoooooooooo
Timberwolves just got blown out by the Hawks, not sure it’s them.
They all miss NAW.
He’s been so good for us. One of the few bright spots for us
He’s the real deal, real gamer
Please don’t let this happen. This OKC team without Sga is awful offensively. Genuinely hurts my eyes sometimes
Don’t think they would win without SGA, but honestly probably still a top 6 team without him. Only game without SGA they beat the Jazz (obviously not a great team) by 30.
We’re an SGA injury away from a 2nd team all-NBA caliber player winning the MVP.
Cade Cunningham for MVP
Cade brunson ant are all first team tier
They have a combined 0 1st teams
how is luka or giannis not 1st team?
Giannis missed too many games and Luka’s team record is too bad.
20-11 not so bad
You’ll get LeBron, KD, and Steph as the faces of the league, and you’ll like it!
My motivation to watch games went down by like 80% this week
I’m not going to make it to 2026
Im already here and it aint fun
Starting the year off strong
Investing in generational big men is a risky business
and Wemby takes good care of his lower limbs too. Those weird drills he does are actually what more basketball players need to do.
God willing his recovery is quick and not something that’ll pester him long term.
Fuck dude you only have a little over 2 hours left in your whole lifetime
He’s gone dude
Say it with me.
He gone
3rd Team All NBA is gonna be Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Coby White and Aaron Nesmith at this rate
coby white has already missed too many games i think lol
Jeremiah Fears it is then.
Kon Knueppel anyone?
Tyler Huntley
Get ready to pay bam or norm a super max
we got bam locked in at a regular max and fk it give it to norm lol
Coby’s out too lmao
Tre Jones welcome to All NBA Third Team!
What a game from him tonight tho lol
Anthony Black STEP ON UP
I mean, can he please? Pretty please?
NAW deserves it ☺️. He’s been awesome for us.
Bronny James about to make All NBA
I think the minimum game requirement thing was completely unnecessary, voters already took games played in consideration and could use their own nuance to decide 60 games of X player was probably worth more or better than 68 games of Y player for example. Like nobody will convince me 80 games of Mikal Bridges is better than 60 games of Jokic for exm
It feels like was just done as a response to “load management” and the complaint fans had, so the NBA instituted this as a way to fight “load management”.
I disagree. Fans quite literally begged for this especially because of load management. If the NBA didn’t do anything about it, fans would claim that the NBA doesn’t listen to its fans. Also,People would buy tickets for premier games just for stars to sit out.
Availablity is a good criteria for these awards. Also, you can appeal for awards if you are a few games below 65.
I think people are only saying this becuase they never imagined that their favorite stars would be so injured. Now, they can’t use awards for their all time agendas.
Is NBA supposed to be viewed as a sports league competition or a Harlem globetrotters like exhibition?
They really didn’t. Blazers shutting down lillard so that they can tank. And him still making an all nba team was a disgrace. Meanwhile Anthony Edwards played 77 games that season
Nah, this system is much better. The best quality is availability. Besides some guy did a study on this and like 99% for players who make All NBA have played more than 65 games.
This was an inducement to stop sitting out games that you’re not injured. It’s totally disrespectful to paying fans and their tv partners
Nesmith missed 2 months soooo
Nesmith already missed too many games I’m pretty sure
We might have steph and kd first team in the big 2026
Steph, KD, and LeBron gonna have to carry yet another year of basketball.
Nesmith deserves it 🥲
MPJ erasure will not be tolerated
I’m honestly here for an MPJ All NBA selection. Let my tank commander go!!!
I think you mean a different 7’0+ elite French center… MAXIME RAYNAUD COME ON DOWN!
They’re about to be signed to untradable contracts lol
I’m crashing out
I cant with this shit
Hell Nawl can’t do dis
I’m also crashing out
This year already suck
This week has been real bad for NBA
Just saw a man see another man fall to his knees in his local H.E.B when he found out the Prime 1 Ribeye H.E.B steaks were all sold out for New years
I just saw man commit Sudoku in an H.E.B.
If we lose and he’s injured, man idk what to say about this NYE game
He will be alright probably just some pain for a week if that likely. Hopefully not worse lol
Fuck my fucking Chungus life
It’s Escargover
Its the hope that kills you
scheiß auf mein chungus leiben 😭
Hopefully it’s only comparable to the Jokic injury in severity but honestly this probably looks worse
Jokic was stationary when it happened, it’s not good that Wemby came down on it but hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked
Edit: He’s already back on the bench that’s a great sign
jokic was healthy for so fucking long, just gotta add him to the jok shrine (that now has a valanciunas picture instead) and hope its nothing ligament related, all the bigs going down apparently
Val got injured too today 😬
I couldn’t believe my eyes man, he was really stepping up too
I’m about to play Center for the Nuggets at this rate
I’m 6”0” and don’t live in America but it is what it is
Jokic was down a bit longer and needed more help so I’m hoping Wemby’s is a bit better
And it didn’t look like his knee was too hyper extended.
I keep rewatching, but I can’t tell on my phone screen: does his left leg get hit on the way down?
Yeah the combo of that plus landing on Towns’ foot before his left foot came down is why this happened. If just one happens he probably doesn’t get hurt at all
It just looks like another hyperextension
one thing with those, end up stretched or minor tears in cartilage, need to guard against having a full blown knee issue after those.
Yeah with a hyperextension there’s usually some bone bruising because of the femur and tibia rubbing the opposite way
Wemby was standing with the other guys on the bench a few minutes later so I doubt it is worse
I do agree that this seems worse because he was in the air trying to land and got down to a hyperextended knee but I also feel like compared to Wemby, Jokic’s hyperextended knee will affect him more because he is a big guy and feeling that 300lb weight on that knee gotta hurt.
Gobert eyeing that 5th DPOY
Pity Chet award time you mean
He’s playing at that level anyways, really a question if the rumor voters don’t want to give him the sole record are true or not.
Fuck my life, that shit did not look good
I hate knee injuries but honestly it looks like a hyperextension. I’ve done this same shit too.
He’s already back on the bench. My guess is he’ll be just fine.
No one here has seen Wemby Yoga? Dude might be the most flexible person in the league.
Dhalsim Jr
When he adds Yoga fire he’ll be the only four level scorer
Does he make his limbs shorter?
Yeah it’ll hurt for a while for sure and hopefully he didn’t damage anything
Hopefully its like that Giannis knee hyperextension. Wemby is pretty flexible, and younger, so hopefully will not be out too long!
It wasn’t giannis knee hyperextension, it was Giannis supersoldier serum
This shit is getting ridiculous man, way too many injuries in sports this year all around it is ruining them
Basketball has always been one of the sports with the most injuries. It’s hard to jump in a controlled way when you’re in contested space
The biomechanics at 7+ feet are just difficult to manage, it’s inevitable. Even the freakiest athlete can’t make their ligaments and tendons last forever
Also these are some of the most massive humans on the planet. Just owing to their size, they are more injury prone. All that weight puts a lot of stress on the bones, ligaments and tendons.
Is it more injury prone than American football? Genuinely curious where it ranks compared to other sports because NBA is all I watch.
No football is insane I think the average age of retirement for a running back is like 25 or something.
Football’s especially bad considering they play 80% fewer games than the NBA or NHL, and 90% fewer games than MLB.
That’s mostly due to positional value, you can get a rookie doong 75% of Henry for 20% of the price
Football way more injury prone literally every other play someone on the ground hurt
NBA players’ bodies ache for the rest of their lives but at least their brains aren’t mush (Porter brothers excepted)
This NIH study is old but thorough.
The big 3 for men are American football, hockey, and basketball. For women it’s soccer, basketball, and gymnastics
Edit But you’re right, American football is definitely more injurious
Ngl this doesn’t shock me Wembys legs are just to long to be consistently healthy.
Lowkey a reason why I never felt the same “league is cooked forever” sentiment. Bodies just aren’t meant to be this way. Super sucks for Spurs fans though.
Yupp. People talked about wemby being the face of the league for a decade or too but sadly I don’t think he’ll be able to stay healthy
That is what the asterisk will be with wemby. As long as he is healthy he will be really dominant.
But big men, especially the type of wemby are very much injury prone. Hope he gets well soon 🙏🏻
Spurs fans lets hold hand together.
It hurts
looked like he hyperextended it
Looks like he booboo’d his knee
all nba first team gonna be like that year Deandre Jordan made it
it’s positionless now, so no. top 5 without wemby is still fairly reasonable.
Also Wemby already missed 12 games. I don’t think anybody expected he wouldn’t miss another 5 (or 6 because of the Cup).
Top 5 without Wemby, Jokic, Giannis, or Tatum though.
Nowhere near a Spurs fan and my heart still dropped to my ass when he went down. Looks like a carbon copy of what Jokic just had
That really sucks dude, he’s been awesome all night.
this season is so shit bro half the league is injured
Maybe just a tweak?
Obv I can’t give a professional opinion, but it didn’t look that bad. But with a 7’4 dude you never know.
Hope it’s just a tweak and he’s not out long.
Hopefully because he’s a skinny boy, maybe not too much weight went down on it
One of the major downsides of being so tall and lanky unfortunately. Hope it’s not too serious
He went back pretty quick, and it looked like he motioned to the crowd that he was okay. God please.
FUCK ME.
He just got back to the bench and Biyombo said, “You good?” While pointing to Wemby’s left knee. Wemby nodded and said, “Yeah.”
Okay he’s back on the bench and smiling, I’m happy he’s (probably) fine.
Hate to see him hurt bro
First Jokic, now Wemby. Fucking hell dude
Trying to be an optimist and think that it doesn’t look that bad. Hopefully we can get Wemby and Jokic healthy by their March 12th matchup.
KAT slid under his right foot, so he wasnt able to land properly. There is nothing dirty about it, but EVERY GAME, refs allow alot of holding, pushing, and everything else when Wemby is off ball and down low.
Clarkson clipped his foot jumping, that’s what messed him up seemingly
Hope he’s ok
Wemby’s standing by the bench. Has to be a good sign.
Funny how when guys land on people’s feet in the paint, no biggie, but when dipshits jump forward onto defender’s feet at the arc, it’s a “natural shooting motion” and a potential flagrant.
This is the worst new year’s eve ever. I feel like dying right now.
He was looking elite out there too. 80% from the field and +17
Sir, a second injury has just hit an MVP candidate.
He’s back on the bench.
Just saw Wemby back on the bench, gotta believe that’s a really good sign
Oh fuck
dang. so many of the league’s best players are injured
Landed with it straight, ouch
it’s going to feel very stupid when the best defensive player of the year X years in a row doesn’t have any DPOYs
Won’t feel that stupid if he’s playing only 40-50 games a year with some of them on a minutes restriction
Duncan has zero
Seems like Clarkson (unintentionally) bumped Vic’s leg forward a bit which messed with his landing. Really really unfortunate.
Jokic and him getting hurt fucking suck, we are missing out on some peak :/
Unfortunately he’s too tall this will continue to get worse
Nooooooo Jokic and Wemby in the same week is a shitty run for basketball fans
Ant went down earlier too. West is cooked.
Look at his body type. This is the future.
fuck
may actually end it all
right there with you man
Bum Chet really gonna get dpoy
Fuuuuck two best bigs go down in a week.
2nd no DPOY for Wemby when he was the best defender on the league in a row… Smh.
Wemby is just too fucking big. I’m scared he’s going to deal with injuries his whole career. I think the spurs should think about trying to make a plan for him to just play like 60-70 games a year even when totally healthy. I think they’re good enough to win enough games without him to put them in playoff position.
He’s back on the bench now… 🤞🤞
SGA wins chip and MVP by participation
Not like he hasn’t proved it before
He came back shortly after to the bench and was walking and cheering with no limp. Huge sigh of relief
Injuries are just cruel in sports. Hope Joker and Wemby don’t have serious ones.
He came back out the bench with a little less than 2 minutes left in the game in warm up gear. So let’s hope if he’s out at all its for a game or two at most. Shootout to Champagnie for his franchise record 3’s made game and a career high.
This is going to be a recurring thing. He’s a fantastic talent but not built to endure the game physically.
it’s Joever
End me
Only SGA right now is a Superstar/MVP Candidate which is not having injury threats. So far. Hopefully, he stays healthy.
Just as I click onto the stream. Ffs man. First Jokic now hopefully not Wemby.
Not the worst hyper extension I’ve ever seen. I’m optimistic
Please be okay we need some big men to say healthy
Congrats to OKC for winning again this season, I guess? Nobody’s healthy enough to challenge them anymore.
i fucking hate injuries. i hope hes okay please
Bruh….ffffuuuuuccccckkkkkk
Walk it off big fella. You aight
2025 decided it was going down swinging.
