Conley hamstringing again

Honestly I don't see why they list people as out anyway. The injured reserve list is gone now. That's why we carry basically, what, 14 players now? Just have him dress and don't play him. But the option is there in dire dire straits.

Because gambling is a thing and lack of transparency with injury information is the one of the fastest ways to start getting your employees in trouble with it.
 
So what’s the downside in having him dress (but maybe not playing him)?

I’m down to throw every curveball at the Clippers and having every option at our disposal. Still strongly feel like the way to test this is him playing strictly as Donovan’s backup for at least a game. Not sure why the idea of him coming back later and playing heavier minutes would be smarter.

I wouldn’t doubt him not playing this entire series.

I'd still bet that if we had lost the last game, he would be playing. It appears that we will rest him until we lose, which is probably the correct decision. He's had 10 days, if we could get him to 2 weeks like we did before the playoffs, everyone would feel better.
 
I really hope he plays in game 4 so he is ready to role in game 5. He is likely going to have minutes restrictions when he returns and even Mike will need a bit to get back in the flow.
 
I was hoping we could play Mike every other game to rest his hammy. I was hoping he could play tonight and then rest next game and play the game back in Utah.
 
Big ****ing boo.

I really think this is getting silly, but I’m not privy to what’s going on. But why say “oh don’t worry, this is the mildest hamstring injury imaginable” then rest a dude him for >10 days in the heat of the playoffs?

It’s either not that mild or the Jazz are up to **** again. If they’re gonna be up to ****, then at least have him dress and don’t play him.

I’m sure I’m on an island here. This is just practically an elimination game and the Jazz have a chance to step on their throats.

I think it is something they don’t know how it will really react until he gives it the full go and every day they get extra time for it to heal fully. Not sure on the science or math but if it lowers his risk of reinjury by like 2-3% everyday then you keep buying him time until you have to give it a go. Completely hypothetical.

If it was game 7 of the finals I’d bet he’d give it a go. IDK soft tissue injuries are tricky.
