Exum Injured

His R knee blocks out what happened, so its hard to be sure. It does look like his knee gave out anterior and medially, which is bad news. Probably can tell if he had an ACL tear based on exam, but will wait to have an MRI to confirm. Might be good that we have Burke, Cotton and Neto.

Link please. The comments I've seen have been about playing on the road here and some light hearted comments about nothing to do here, or in other words no night life, which certainly isn't an uncommon opinion among NBA players. I think the alcohol issues may have been a legitimate reason to steer clear, but I don't buy the hates Utah stuff. Personally, I think we may really regret not taking the gamble on him when all is said and done.
 
Cameron Payne was available when we picked Lyles ... I wonder if that's another decision we may look back and regret.
 
Neto gonna save the day
 
So what were Exum stats this game, pre-injury?

He's back out on the bench. Someone please tell me this is a good sign. If he had torn a ligament would they really have him back out watching the game?

Maybe yes.
 
Trey and Hayward already training together, this is a good sign.

Less worried about the ACL-- more worried about what this does to his confidence with driving towards the hoop if it turns out to be serious. I know Russ got back to speed, but that dude's got way more moxie than Dante.
 
Y'all are a bunch of selfish ********, all this woe's me, how about some well wishes for the kid who is actually injured?

Honestly my first reaction was the same, thought "****" and what are the Jazz going to do now, but then I felt bad for him moments later.

Dude, quit being such a moron-- do you know how hard it is to be able to tell how long a ligament will hold up? These are 19 year old human beings, not ****ing vehicles where you can just jack the car up and look at its components.


And you completely missed my point-- this isn't a one-off genetic thing. I think 7-8 of the top 10 players from last year have now had serious injuries within their first 12-14 months of being drafted. This is not genetic. The article I mentioned talked about how much basketball these kids are playing at way too young of ages, and their bodies are becoming ticking time bombs.

Agreed. It's the same reason so many pitchers now need Tommy John surgery or other throwing arm surgery compared to 25 years ago. Baseball year round has become all too common.

But it's funny because almost all pro coaches in in the major sports say that playing many different sports when you are younger is better for you...even if one is trying to groom a kid to be a pro athlete.

I know, and its ********. Kids are falling apart out here man. 2014 was just absolutely nuts. I gotta find that article.

Yeah, but this argument is kind of irrelevant to Exum since he took nearly an entire year off from basketball and didn't get overplayed last year at all.
 
The way Exum did that 'hop' and injured his knee reminded me of when D Rose injured his ACL years back..

Rose's injury looked a lot more serious though.

Damn... why does this have to happen now, things starting to get good for us.


I would say trade one or some of our assets for an up and coming PG who's on the out somewhere... may be somebody like Darren Collison? Rondo is joining the Kings so they may be wanting to unload him? Wouldn't mind Elfrid Payton neither.


We could have gone after Ty Lawson but it's too late now.

Schröder.

Burke and one of our better 1sts for him. Would you do it? Would it be enough?
