Added to Calendar: 12-22-25

I don't think Lauri is going to be ok sitting out games w/o a real reason, specifically now that the all star voting started. He made it very clear his goal is making the all star game again. The way he started the season, it feels unlikely he's be willingly out at the exact time when the voting has been starting.
 
Lauri not playing is kind of a sign the groin stuff has some legitimacy. Jazz arent in danger of beating the Nuggets. I would rather see Lauri rested vs the Nets/Kings of the NBA.
 
Lauri is playing tonight. I'm guessing they couldn't hold him out of both today and tomorrow's game. So put him in this one and hope to lose to the Grizz tomorrow. This is a small trap game since Jokic can sometimes float... but maybe seeing Nurk fires him up and he locks in.

Should be an L even with Lauri.

Tomorrow we tank our faces off... tonight we sprinkle in Cody and pull back on some Svi minutes if need be.

Well, he's playing and there's obviously nothing wrong with him. He looked bouncy and spry in the Mavs game (including overtime) and was benched after that.

For some reason I don't think we'll hear any groin-related questions from the beat reporters. Let's just move on, I guess. LOL

Im sure if we had you there you'd offer to perform a complete and thorough groin inspection on Lauri.

All these guys likely have little annoying aches and pains they are playing through at different points of the season. Not sure why they'd list it as a groin injury if they were pulling it out of the sky. I am guessing there is some soreness there for real.

In a normal regular season you treat it and play through maybe finding some games off here and there. This season... rest it as much as you need to and be as close to 100% every time you are cleared to play.

You should worry about getting your own head inspected for thinking his injury might be legit.

Oh, almost forgot: I hope K-Love has a restful evening! He's played an unfathomable hour and a half of NBA basketball over the last two weeks or so, so the man must be exhausted. It's only right to give him the night off.

It has NOTHING to do with the fact that he exploded for 16/16/1/1/1 against Orlando and almost won us the game.
