Taylor Hendricks injury thread

[The Midnight]

Feels kind of like a human sacrifice to the tank gods

Was about to say, it’s gonna be great for the tank.

There might be a silver-lining here..

It has no effect on the tank and actively ruins one of the benefits of tanking...

The only silver-living is that other guys will get more minutes, like Flip.

I feel terrible for Taylor. He worked hard this summer and this really hurts his development. I hope his recovery goes well.

That is the most bizarre injury I have ever seen. He just did a basic stop, caught his foot on the ground, and just snapped one of the thickest bones in the body? Wow. Does he have a mineral defficiency? Unbelievable. Seriously feel bad for the guy.

Right, extremely unfortunate injury.

So sad, what an extraordinary bad luck. Hope he comes back to 100% next season.

when would the full assessment of an injury of this magnitude typically be released ?

Turns out, about 36 minutes from the time of your post!

According to google, surgical repair of a fibula fracture can take 3-12 months recovery time. I'm not finding a lot of good comparisons for NBA players, as most of the ones that were big news (Paul George, Gordon Hayward) were tibia fractures not fibula fractures (fibula is less severe than tibia).

I'm currently hoping he can start rehab by the end of the season and be ready to go by early next season. That's probably best case scenario. Unfortunately he'll very likely miss having a normal off season. Worst case scenario... well, I'm not going to put that out in to the universe.

Never. It's a season ender. That's obvious. We wont know the severity until we see him play again.

I'm not feeling any better about this a day later. This is a huge blow to the rebuild. With 3 draft picks in the upcoming draft, extension decisions, etc., we really need as much information as possible on these young guys by the end of the year.
