It's strange that people believe that he or his camp listen to doctors or trainers. Zion is surrounded by yes men and sycophants. His image is based around this freakishly huge man flying through the air and throwing throwing down thunderous dunks. It's awesome as stand alone moments. But it's not substantial. Men of his size do not last..

That reads like season ending. Those poor season ticket holders. When can we fans catch a break?

Zion is on his way to being the basketball version of Byron Buxton. Buxton has been in the majors for seven years and has played more than 65% of his team's games only once in his career. Zion's just going to be a game who's going to miss 30+ games every year. It is what it is.

It's just so hard to play that consistently at his size. It's why almost no one in the NBA weighs that much, just not sustainable.

Man I was not expecting this turd news when I clicked on pels talk. Ugh.

I'm convinced this training/medical staff must just be 2-3 students at LSU Shreveport.

My medical staff downvotes are going to be significantly reduced I think.

Wouldn’t be upset if Chuck and Shaq start calling him the new “Street Clothes”. He’s earned the nickname.

Releasing it on Superbowl Sunday is such a Griffin thing to do. Trying to get it buried under the Sunday Shenanigans so the team won't get lambasted by the media.

We have the worst luck. We can't make a leap because we can't get past the injuries. It's always waiting for next year with this team.

I think it's probably time to consider changes to the staff. Not sure if the problem is the trainers or the doctors.

Are we still using corporate team sponsor Ochsner for the team doctors? That just has never sat right with me. You're a pro sports team, you can afford to hire a few elite level doctors to work for the team. If you need Ochsner connected, use their facilities.

What are the chances he's in even decent shape when he gets back?

5%?

At this point this is the norm, this is what we should expect every season. If we get more just be surprised lol

I don’t understand the re-aggravating issue. Was it healing? I thought a medical staff would shepherd any pt work. Did he overdue anything on his own? This can’t happen. I guess the next bulletin will be about surgery.

He was going 3 on 3 work with the team when he re-injured it.

What's not to understand? You hit certain milestones in recovery and they have you gradually do more activity. Zion had progressed to doing 3 on 3 work and while doing that re aggravated the injury.

Well frick me. We just can’t catch a break. I’ll be shocked to see Zion play again this year during the regular season.

I guess Booker and Durant need to knock some size off huh? Booker has been fighting hamstring injuries for 3 years now.

Y’all overreact and immediately go to size when it has nothing to do with his size, it’s a fricking normal injury for basketball players man
