I dont recall the score or game situation, but these injuries happen randomly. It's as probable he got injured in the next game as it was when it happened.

Leader Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 @NYRaider - your post of T.O. Souryal thoughts would be more conclusive if it included the outcome of those "true partial ACL" tears that he's seen. Is that somewhere in his comments? As a layman, you'd think it would heal better than a full tear - no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clippers were up 21 going into the 4th quarter, the Jazz cut it to to 18 at the 8 minute mark, Kawhi came back into the game with 7:30 left and got hurt at the 5:25 mark while the Clippers were up 17. The closest the Jazz got was down 10 and ended up losing by 14 with Kawhi out of the game. The Clippers were up 24 at half time and well in control the entire game. IIRC the crowd even gave Kawhi an ovation when he checked out in the third because they thought he was done for the night, I was there, lol.

Quote LA Clippers All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard underwent successful surgery to repair a partial tear of his right anterior cruciate ligament, the LA Clippers announced Tuesday. There is no timetable for his return. Partial ACL tears typically take at least three months to heal after surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presence in the game probably wasnt required - but - it doesnt preclude the fact that the tear could have occurred in the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have but Lue really shouldn't have had him in the game at that point. The Clippers were up 18 and had been dominating the entire night.

NYRaider Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Listening to the Ringers mock draft special, one of the hosts on Davion Mitchell asked, "it doesn't concern you that you'd be drafting a 23 year old, 6'0" guard, who had 1 good year in college, and only hit 66% of his FT?"

NYRaider Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Kevin O'Connor also said that he could see Bouknight going as high as #5 and thinks he's a 20+ ppg guy by year 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Quote "One league source recently told The Sacramento Bee the Kings would have to send a minimum of three first-round picks to the 76ers in a trade constructed around Hield and Bagley. Another source said the 76ers wouldn’t be interested unless Fox or Haliburton were included in the trade, but Hield’s elite 3-point shooting and Bagley’s unrealized potential could be appealing if a better deal doesn’t materialize." Haliburton + Hield would be a nice return for the 76ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Ice Cube - “If he (Dame Lillard) wants a championship he should come join the Lakers. You know if he wants to just score a lot of points and be the man, stay in Portland. But come win a championship, you deserve it. He’s given a lot to that city, so give some of that love to the LA Lakers man.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I love Bouknight. The closer we get to the draft, the more I think he's long gone by #17. If he drops to #10 or so, then I want Memphis to trade up for him.

Knicks need to make that deal immediately. If that's true then the Cavs are dumb as rocks. Topping is a throw in, not a centerpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If the Kings are offering Hield+ 3 picks like is being reported you take that, the Kings are gonna be bad, you can use those picks or trade them for another piece, it's a good play.
