CJ injured wrist?

[LunaticWolf]

During the scrimmage today, CJ blocked Millsap, and then fell on his ***. When he got up he was holding his wrist. They subbed him out and put a wrap around it. He played again for a few minutes, but was subbed out shortly after. He vanished from the bench a little later, probably went back to the locker room.

Sprained right wrist, will be re-evaluated Monday.

****ing lame. Wrist sprains are a total bitch.

P.S. Hayward was awful.

From CJ's Twitter (@CJMiles34):

Everybody I'm fine thanks for Tha love

But but but Hayward dominated the summer league! That means he's going to be an automatic superstar. Duh.

But but but Hayward under-performed in a casual team scrimmage! That means he's a bust. DUh.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I didn't say that but for a guy whose laurels rest in his heady play, looking lost and contributing nothing isn't exactly a good sign.

So, how much are you trying to say, exactly? I mean, this was a bloody scrimmage.

.....

obviously....his play was affected by the grief he felt from CJ's injured wrist!

It's not good. That's what I'm saying. It doesn't mean he WILL suck. It means he DID and that it's certainly not a good thing.

Geez it is a freak'n scrimmage. Would you rather have ED Davis? The guy is hurt again. How about we give the young guys a little time? Besides DW sucked tonight should we cut him.

 

[honz]

No, of course we shouldn't cut DWill. That would be absurd.

Did you read what I wrote, or are you just out of your mind?

 

[Marty McFly]

I thought Hayward was playing nervous. I didn't see any signs of him not being able to play in the NBA. He's actually got a decent sized body and he can keep up on D. And he survived a D-Will cheapshot -- following it with a nasty block.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I'd love to be wrong about my hysterical hatred of using the vaunted NY pick on Gordon ****ing Hayward. I really, really would.

I'm still going to keep an eye on Aldrich as he would've been my pick. But this thread's about CJ's bummer sitch. Sorry to derail, I just didn't see where the scrimmage discussion was initially.

 

[BENTLEY]

I understand Numberica's Hayward pain. But I'll go the scrimmage discussion to expound.

Were we at the same game? Hayward didn't look lost for a second; he just didn't get into an offensive groove. He had his man on D every time and his transition game was way smoother than most of the others. Not a knock on Big Al, but on two different plays he plowed his own team members over in the paint. I'd say he looked a bit more lost.

 

[NUMBERICA]

But Al Jefferson's a proven NBA player and his strength has NEVER been team play. His entire career has been "stand here, they'll throw the ball to you, make something happen when they do throw the ball to you." He's trying to re-invent himself on a team that couldn't be any more different than his previous two experiences. Pretty big difference(s). But yeah, Al definitely looked timid and not a master of the system.

But back to CJ, I'm happy it at least was his non-shooting wrist. Wrist sprains take MONTHS to fully heal, though (I got what I think was a pretty minor one 4 months ago and while I can do everything I could before, I can still feel something a little different in the affected area. Ridiculous.). This will be a nagging sonofabitch for a while.

 

[David Stern]

No, of course we shouldn't cut DWill. That would be absurd.

Yes we should. If he isn't scoring 60 in a scrimmage then he isn't the superstar the great people of Utah deserve.

I'm fairly confident you'll need to give Hayward a year or two. Plus, if you keep it up, Honzward will take you out for hating on his boy.
