It's not a club team, he can not make some excuses not to join to the NT due to game plans. He's just screwing his all sympathy because of his foolish manager and excuses. I really wonder he really thinks all fans are stupid not to be able to understand what's happening?
Dirk, manu, Gasol brothers all respectable players not just because of their talents but their characters which Kanter does not have.
Are you a doctor? The report said this type of injury was due to overuse. So perhaps he was overtraining and had an injury that requires a small procedure but also requires rest. Your conspiracy theory seems to be part due to the past Kanter has had with the Turkey Basketball National team. As a Jazz fan I would rather have him rest than play before he is ready. I can only imagine the criticism he will get if he plays and sucks, will Turkish fans have sympathy for him or will Jazz fans be pissed because he isn't ready for the season if he gets hurt or makes this issue worse than it is. Kanter is in a no win situation and I applaud him for making sure he is healthy before playing.
