It is very difficult to play on a sprained big toe.
Also I would rather it get healthy then linger. Miss some games now and not a bunch throughout the year.

Bummer, I was hoping Favors would play this game for limited minutes to shake off the rust for GS.
Honestly, I would rather get them an extra few days to recover than have them re-injure themselves against the ****ing Suns. We've been playing well against this level of team with our injury's. Here's to an almost full, healthy roster when GS comes to town.
The offense was hot trash against Miami. They ran strictly SM, which was garbage without Hill and/or Hood.
The only reason the Jazz scored 111 was because they couldn't miss from 3 (Lyles 4 for 4). Revert to season average and that was a 90 point outing.

That type of information is actionable. It should be closely guarded until its absolutely necessary to divulge.
I am not suggesting that the Jazz reveal everything but throwing some bones to the local media guys is good PR. Jazz are too reserved and guarded in this aspect IMO.
As well they should. They should have regular updates, even if the update is to say that the status is essentially unchanged. And even if it's to say "2-4 weeks estimated" or "player X has to still do such-and-such before he can be cleared to play" or things like that.

I wouldn't share too much injury info, either. It forfeits a competitive edge.
Then again, I don't give a **** what fans and the media think.

You might if you were trying to make money off the team.

You mean like an owner? Nah, I wouldn't.
A quality product sells itself. Injury timelines don't keep you in business, they are courtesies that have a great potential for letting people down.
They also allow for opponents to prepare for your personnel.

I disagree. Not letting your fans know is bad business. I got hosed buying tickets to the Warriors game tomorrow. Now no one is playing. I don't know if it's even worth driving from logan to watch.
The Jazz need new trainers. Maybe ones who don't primarily treat 9 year old girls.

Injuries are a fact of the NBA. Trainers, no matter how good they are, cannot enter the game and prevent them. They also cannot reduce the number of games that these human beings are expected to play.
If you want to take on the issue of over-use and its resultant wear on joints, you must reduce the number of games. Like I said before, a quality product sells itself. Money drives the league, and greed (on the part of owners and players) is the real perpetrator here. There is no actual need for 82 games in a 5 1/2 month span. The league chooses profits over quality.

Injuries were a factor for GS in the playoffs last year, also. Their meaningless pursuit of 73 wins likely cost them the championship.
?
These guys are being pronounced out typically 24 hours before the game. Opposing teams know who's going to play by the time they start preparing for the Jazz.

That's nonsense. All people are asking them to do is exactly what every other team in the NBA does.

No, it did not "likely" cost them the championship, any more than the Bulls' 72 win season cost them the championship. What's likely is that there was nothing in how they played the final part of the regular season that affected them in the Finals. I watched almost every moment of every game and health was not the issue for either team. Saying otherwise is just attempting to revise history to back up an already crappy argument.
