Utah Jazz vs. Boston Celtics July 6th, 2015 7 PM Mountain Time *Official Game Thread for SL*

It's also exciting when you consider Exum played that well vs. Smart and Rozier.

Smart is one of the better perimeter defenders and Rozier was a very good defender in college and projects to be a better than average defender at the position for the NBA level.

The Jazz were +31 with Dante Exum on the court during Monday's summer league win.

Dante Exum has a brace on his ankle, and a moderate limp. No crutches. No walking boot.

Early signs are positive that's probably just a moderate ankle sprain.

Get the sense that he's day-to-day. Prob won't play tomorrow, but nothing to be worried about longterm
 
you are officially the first man I've ever known who has never sprained an ankle. I'm being dead serious.

Yeah I'm serious. I played basketball at Luchtime all through high school, was also in the school's tennis team in Summer and Badminton team in Winter. So sports all year round when I was young.


Haven't really played since I graduated from Uni but never ever had any injury ever. I guess it could be because I usually only play at about 80% of my full capacity. I just don't like getting injured.
 
Was just putting it out there haven't had a sprained ankle before.

I don't understand how that's possible. You must have had at least mild strains? I mean, I've strained my ankle dozens of times playing basketball, a few times hiking, and even once walking around my place talking on the phone...

Nah nothing.. I played tennis and badminton competitively during high school for 3-4 years so may be there is some flexibility that I get from that? No idea. Just never had any injuries.


May be also cos I always just play at about 80% unless there is a big game that I'll put that 20% extra in?
 
do you think this will affect his confidence? Do think he'll be able to explode with confidence?

I used to sprain one of my ankles all the time. It doesn't affect confidence or explosion. It just sucks that it can be easier to roll the same ankle again. Knee issues can kill explosion however. I never got up the same after I had a minor meniscus tear.

Perhaps you should allow scientists to study this super power of yours.
 
I gotta say, it's nice to see the Jazz get some positive pub during the summer like this. Good turn out at the arena. Nice to see guys like Antoine Carr, Rudy, Alec, etc. supporting. It's been a while since the Jazz were a proud franchise.
