Maybe he was feeling kinda sick then got sicker lol

Hello, when someone is exposed to an illness sometimes they will go from feeling not sick to very sick in a pretty short time. fairly sure this affects the Finnish as well.

Earlier this year I was at work then at 1 I picked up my sick kid from daycare and by 3 I was passed out on the couch with the same illness

Pretty common series of events, regardless of what Utah is or isn’t doing, this isn’t an odd series of events with availability reports.

I’m skeptical of all injury designations of good players on tanking teams, but this is a completely natural pattern for something attributed to an illness.

That illness was horrible for him last month. He lost 10 pounds and looked frail. Having him restricted from the 4th helped him a ton so he won’t get over tired. I think it’s good to just rest him for the entire game because what if he has shortness of breath 5 minutes into the 4th quarter so Hardy takes him out of the game, then the tanking patrol will be crying

Might as well just rest him the entire game to be ethical and classy toward the evil gambling companies that intimidated Silver to end tanking next season.

this is the last year theyre planning on tanking, they dont care if they tank so outrageously that the league changes rules cuz of it next year lol

Is this not how people normally get put on the injury report?

Normal prodrome

That’s about the least concerning short term injury designation change I have seen, especially in February. You can become sick very quickly. Multiple times I have gone to work to end up getting sick not even halfway the workday and forced to go home sick due inability to work (non American).

Firstly, it is possible to, you know. Get sick. And feel worse as the sickness gets worse.

Secondly, no one made Lauri re-sign with a team that knew they’d be tanking for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t blame Lauri or the team personally, but hating exclusively the Jazz and not the player seems an odd choice.

Thirdly, the team won’t be tanking next year. So if he’s healthy, he’ll be playing no matter what the league puts into place.

Finally, he’s had injury issues his whole career. Don’t be too sad if he still doesn’t break 65 games even when the team plays to compete.

Stop acting like the Jazz are the only ones doing this. There’s like 10 other teams doing the exact same thing.

Oh no.

How did you became a Finnish basketball fan as an non Finnish person? Im not criticizing you or anything but just wondering. Thats the way how foreigners misspell his name always so thats why I asked.

Danny ainge is getting his draft pick one way or another lol

He was probably sick

Well friend, at least you have Miikka Muurinen to look forward to!

Maybe he got sick after the hockey game.

It’s likely attributed to sudden dehydration. 

Lauri gives zero fucks about winning this far into his career. Dude just wants his money and unlimited PTO like the rest of us plebs.

How is anything in your title confusing, lmao.

It’s obviously tanking, but why on earth are Fins blaming Lauri? It’s 100% the Jazz doing this.

I think the coaching staff and FO would rather him sit and Lauri just isnt the “mamba mentality” type to tell them to fuck off.

Of course he isnt always 100% healthy, but I also believe that they are pressuring him to sit more than he normally would.

Jazz screwed it up for every NBA team by going 110% tank commander mode with the holding key guys out the 4th quarter of close games.

Ainge uses bio-weapons at locker room

We know how this ends. Lauri will find an early exit out of this league due a serious illness. 

No surprise, Lauri won’t play another game against a lower seeded team again unless the league forces them to. The amount of teams resting their full starting lineup whether it’s before the game or during 4th quarters this season is why we’re having a massive draft overhaul next year.
