Hood's Injury

What I learned about bone bruises this season is that they're a bitch and timelines vary a lot from person to person.

It wont be as long as Favors. Favors has a pre-existing knee issue and is a huge guy. His rehab process was probably had to go slower because of the IT Band issue.
 
Given the drama from Hood (I thought his knee exploded), I'm forced to assume that a knee bruise is the most painful thing on Earth.

Nah wasn't only thinking about Favors actually. Local player had to undergo surgery because of a bone bruise that didn't go away and it apparently isn't that rare statistically.

What kind of surgery fixes a bruise?

I would guess either the local player got diagnosed wrong, or he played on it and it ****ed **** up more. A bone bruise isnt an actual bruise, it's just a near fracture, so the dude might have fractured his knee after playing on a bone bruise.
 
Yeah 46% shooting w/ 36% from deep, poor shooting. Not to mention 85% from FT line. Just awful.

As far as defense, he has a positive DBPM and is 10th in DRPM.

ESPN ranks him as 11th in usage rate among SF's. Nothing too much, he has a usage rate you would expect from a guy who is the clear cut 2nd best player on his team.

Put him in a modified role like JJ (which he'd never accept) and I'd consider it - otherwise forget it. I don't care what the guys numbers are, eleven years in the league and he's been a loser everywhere he's been and it's not a coincidence.

Actually I think in his case of lot of it is coincidence. He has really matured as a player with his shot selection. If you think he sucks then you must think Hayward sucks, because he is basically the same player as last year's Hayward.

I'll just echo some of the others in that I'll be very surprised if it's just 1-2 weeks. And if he does manage to come back in that time-frame (and maybe even if not), we should expect at least some Favors-esque difficulty in returning to full performance once he's cleared to play.

It's a significant injury, but thank goodness it wasn't worse.
