Bad luck, looked pretty painful, too bad he was driving and finishing really well.

Rozier and Brown and the starters are now going to get 30 mpg.

Agree

Starting to get a bit concerned over Smart's injuries. Played 61 and 67 game fist 2 years.

Some serious sprains can take months to heal. I' thinking 2-3 weeks before we see him again

he just stepped on a foot finishing a play, unfortunately it happens

It's also the all out way that Smart plays, the way he is willing to throw his body around. We all lover it as fans, but I think it does make him more prone to injury over a long NBA season.

he's a young guy, but over time he will have to adjust his willingness to throw his body around, IMO.

Olynyk  and Smart injuries guarantee that Mickey and Jackson will be around for a while

Thanks bob, good to know. He might never be a good shooter, but his defense and toughness is a big part of our teams identity.
