Well the McCain trade makes more sense now

Who replaces him in the all star game?

Mavs new pick going up in value… from 30th to 28th pick.

HE GONE

how many games can he miss for mvp?

Let McCain cook

An All-Star opening for our nemesis, Sengun

That 2026 OKC frp looking better now /s

Chet as the number one option tonight vs Wemby is going to be interesting.

Nvm. Looks like Chet and most of the rest of the Thunder are out tonight.

Sengun’s music

Sengun, YOU are an all star

Not now! I want trade news

Well, then. That bodes well for the Spurs tonight. Too bad. I wanted another great duel.

My sources say SGA won’t be moving at the deadline and the Thunder haven’t fielded any calls on him either.

When asked about any further insight a high level Thunder exec replied “Hello? Who is this? How did you get this number?” before abruptly hanging up.

That’s why they traded for McCain. SGA will likely be cut within a week

damn, that blows! Wonder how much is strategic rest vs actually strain degree 😮‍💨

All good, just need to make sure everyone on the team is healthy by playoff time

We’re legitimately gonna lose every game until ASB now lmao

Dillon Brooks, you’re an all star

Tim Connelly you mad man!

One last convenient recharge before a deep playoff run.

He didn’t want to play in the ASG lmao be real

Well this sucks matchup tonight was gonna be cinema so many injuries tonight that it wont be as fun.

Lame

If Sengun replaces Giannis, who replaces SGA in the ASG? Should be Embiid but probably won’t be

Not gonna lie, it looks like the most perfectly timed injury possible.

He gets a two-week holiday to rest, his 65-game eligibility is in no danger whatosever, he skips the All-Star Break, and even dodges an entire game of having to shoot over Wemby’s arms tonight - which also technically increases the odds of the Spurs remaining the 2nd/3rd seed, so on the other half of the playoff bracket with the Nuggets.

Norman Powell moving over to Team World

Looks like he wants his vacation and doesn’t want to play in the All-Star disaster.

No wonder why Morey got such good value from McCain

I thought they traded him!

He gone /s

Suddenly the chances of none of the top 5 players making All-NBA or winning the MVP has increased.

Is Luka gonna walk into an MVP? This was like his only chance.

Jared McCain welcome to the starting lineup

Dang, this probably kills their lead in the west. They’ll probably re expand it once Shai is back but puts more pressure on them.

Here’s how Jokic can still win:

This Jaylen Brown MVP gonna hit different

Maxey MVP incoming

Now we know they got McCain 

Dillon brooks spot opened

American MVP has the most momentum in years

Honestly hope he gets healthy but maybe a wake up call for the thunder to have plays other than a SGA bailout whenever they’re shitting themselves. I think jokic being out really made their team a lot more confident and maybe this will do the same for the thunder

Team gonna stink for the next month or so

Missing games in their hardest stretch too,

lol why did the mods remove the other thread?

Conspiracy time. OKC is trading SGA in a three team trade to Minnesota. Wolves certainly need a PG.

I need Shams tweet said Thunder guard Shai and was like did Shai get traded no way?

For a second, i thought sga got traded..

Sucks to see this, but hopefully he can heal his finger he’s had taped up for months in the meantime as well

Mikal Bridges is gonna win the MVP at this pace.

Shame, hope he recovers soon.

Good excuse for extended rest.

I’m just here to see if anyone blames this on the Magic

Using the Allstar break to rest and prepare for the post season.

LETSSS GOOOOOOOO

i feel like chasing that 20point streak like he forced it sometimes caught up to him

“rest”

Might we interest you in CP3?

Oh no

Hey, maybe the OKC pick the Mavs just acquired won’t be 30th after all?

He afraid of the Jokic comeback? /s

Fucking thank god. Less lawyer ball.

What a weird mvp race this is gonna turn out to be. Unless this injury sidelines him for longer than expected, shai won’t really be at risk of missing the game requirement, but if jokic manages not to miss anymore games, that aspect of the race will be kinda just gone. Luka might end up being the healthiest true candidate

Dude just doesn’t want to go to the ASG

If he misses as many games as Jokic, does it hurt his MVP chances?

Grade 1: up to 3 weeks recovery 

Grade 2: 4-6 weeks 

Reevaluated doesnt mean cleared to play again…

Abdominal strains are tricky and can linger for a long time….

Eh he’ll be fine

Anthony Edwards MVP

Jokic MVP is back on the table
