The play didn't even look bad to me. Then I figured he must have just landed wrong. Probably miss 2-6 weeks. Now I hear all season?
Just freaky.

Dante Exum: shoulder injury
- Thread starter NAOS
- Start date
It's a bummer the Penny Haradway comps where accurate, but just not in the way we wanted them to be.
I'm guess the injury must have happend with how he landed. If you watch, he sticks his left arm out to break his fall. The force pushing up on the ground and TJ's body weight coming down must have put a lot of pressure on his shoulder, I'm guessing, more so than if he just fell without trying to break the fall.

I think you meant Shawn Livingston. I don't remember anybody being so optimistic about him.
Think the focus is playoffs. I dont think Mitchell is going to get free reign of the backup PG minutes, especially if he struggles like he did yesterday.

According to KSL the Jazz will be talking to the media mid-day, after practice. https://www.ksl.com/?sid=46079775&n...eason-in-doubt-after-left-shoulder-separation

Yeah it is possible that this actually leads to the Jazz keeping him instead of losing him in FA after this year. If Hood plays as well as he has been so far the whole season he's going to command a big deal. If I'm the Jazz I consider trying to aggressively extend Dante now at a lower number. He's still young enough that he can get a big contract at 26/27 if he has developed and stayed injury free. I would have rather had Dante just get a chance this year, though. Really bummed about this news.

I was just reading recent tweets, and I think we need to think positively about this. If they decide on surgery, we probably can't expect Dante back until after the All-Star, and you recall how it was with Alec. He just couldn't get into a rhythm. So, if it's surgery we might as well wait until next year for Dante.
However, if he can rehab without surgery, he could be back much earlier. Of course we can't see the MRIs, but with my distrust of conventional medicine, I would seek out many opinions and see if there are other possible options, even little known. Modern doctors are too quick to do surgery. It should be the last resort and only after thoroughly researching this. We shall see.

You realize that this is going to speed up Mitchell's development. It seems like all the signs point to his destiny as a great player.
