Great news for fans of the NBA. Can’t wait to see what he does in the playoffs

I know that Wemby never looked too dire with this one, but still. No Luka, Giannis, or Wemby in the playoffs would have been tragic.

No Giannis was 100% happening after the turner trade . Now luka is coming back

Need Luka, Cade and Ant all back and ready to go in the playoffs. Fans deserve it.

Even if Luka came back in the first round he would be an Aaron Gordon last year level of hobbled, and losing Reaves is huge. The Luka + Reaves minutes are far and away the highest plus minus combo this year

I was hoping to see this when Luka went down. Good news. Happy for Wemby!

With the injuries we are gonna lose out on a potential Lakers v Spurs classic now sadly

Seeing Luka v Wemby would’ve been an all-timer. Now just have to hope Luka can get fit and we can maybe see a Luka v SGA. We could have a scenario where all 4 MVP front runners in the west were potentially going to match up in Round 2 of the playoffs

considering that he played after the injury just to reach 15 mins i think it was clear that he was fine. just being ultra precautionary before the playoffs which is smart

Stratys | Spurs

He was definitely wincing when he came back in but I imagine he’s probably just dealing with soreness at this point, maybe? Hopefully that’s the extent of what he’s dealing with at least.

I did hurt my rib cage once and the pain was getting worse and worse by the minute. After half an hour even breathing heavily was painful and I had to walk carefully to limit any shock… Peak pain was the next morning after getting up. The way the pain kept getting stronger and stronger was really something different from the other injuries I had before.

He was clearly in a lot of pain and wasn’t moving that side of his body very well so I don’t think it was entirely precautionary. If not for the rule he likely leaves at 8 mins and doesn’t come back even if this was a game in January

Genuinely hope his ribs healed up if they have to play the Suns in the playoffs. Brooks will be putting elbows into him

Brooks is beside himself. Driving around downtown San Antonio begging (thru texts) MRI facility for location of Wemby’s rib injuries.

NBA players get MRIs right away for anything. I have to take a bunch of pills and do physical therapy out of pocket for weeks and beg to maybe eventually get an MRI. Man fuck the US health care system. I can’t enjoy watching pro sports anymore cause I get mad I see an athlete get an MRI for whatever reason the next day.

Us health care is a joke. A few years ago I felt like an electrical shock in my arm I phoned the emergency line and 20 minutes later I was having a brain MRI. I live in France and obviously I had nothing to pay. For more random stuff like pain in the knee it can take a few weeks to have an appointment.

Are normal MRI machines built for 7’6 people?

Skank_hunt42 | Thunder

Maybe the Mavericks MRI machine was only built for people that are 7’6 and taller, so that’s how the Reeves MRI got messed up!
