Prediction: how many regular season games will Favors miss to start the season

The dude didn't participate in shoot around this morning, and will miss the final preseason game. This is starting to feel like last seasons' lingering injury, in a different disguise.

So, give your prediction. How many regular season games will he miss due to this injury?

I'll go with 5.
 
I get the feeling the FO doesn't put a lot of value on vets playing in the pre-season so if there's an issue at all they are fine keeping the player off the floor.

I hope that's it, anyway.

I agree with Cy. Hood and Burks will be game 1 actives as well.

Didn't participate in shootaround... not a game... we talking bout shootaround. I think it's a bad sign.
 
Well with his history of nagging injuries and how the Jazz never rush a player back, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a couple of weeks. Hopefully not, but I know this organization too well.

These are more-or-less how I'm feeling. It sucks that our early schedule is such a gauntlet and we're potentially without two of our best players.

It's good that it's a gauntlet. We may have lost to those good teams anyway. I'm glad that the schedule isn't easy that way we aren't dropping too many games that we really shouldn't.

It's easier to make up for a loss to the Spurs than to make up for a loss to the sixers.

That makes a certain kind of sense. It sounds kind of like a loser-ish sense, but, ok... I guess that helps me feel a bit better. But a slow start is a slow start.

I do agree with this... the absence may cost us a win or two, but if schedule was softer might be a difference of more games. I do think when healthy those Spurs games are very winnable... and the favors and Hayward injuries would hurt much more in those games because of matchups. Favors would be helpful against gasol and Aldridge. Hayward would obviously be huge against Kwahi.

I don't think this is something he'd be playing through if this was a regular season game... same with Burks.
 
Regarding Favors, I think the issue is not only how many games he'll miss during the regular season, since the actual number may be low, but that his injuries seem to limit what he can do on court, making him not only less mobile, but less willing to bang in the paint. People praise him for developing a jump shot, but he may end up being "just" a jump-shooting big man, with no consistent post game, and incapable to drive to the basket at all due to physical ailments.
 
Quin said that Favors hasn't turned the corner to even be able to practice, let alone play.

Lame.
 
Favors is turning out to be Boozer-brittle. Can't afford to pay everyone max money. With Lyles developing, Favs might be the most expendable, especially since he only plays 70 games/per.
