OT: Chet Holmgren possible ligament damage in foot

Hope his recovery is speedy and complete, but ligament issues for a big man are rarely
resolved quickly. Usually told to lose weight. I doubt they give him that advice!!!!

Also can I just reiterate how glad I am that Jabari Smith fell to us instead of Chet? OKC picking him is going to haunt that franchise for a decade.
Holmgren and Williamson were the two recent players I thought had a high likelihood to have chronic issues. Their frames, for different reasons, don’t scream long term high level athlete.
Maybe. The lottery is much more random now. Even the worst team only has like a 55% chance to land a top 3 pick.
Houston was the worst team the last two years, and neither year did they get the #1 pick. Granted, that's always a possibility, but even more so now.
It's basically random at this point if you can get that generational player.
Frankly I'm shocked it's an ankle. When I first saw the headline earlier today, I immediately thought "must have broken a twig".
Playing on a wet court. smh

Holmgren gets foot tested after injury at pro-am
Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren is undergoing tests for a possible right foot injury suffered in a pro-am game Saturday in Seattle, a team spokesperson told ESPN.
Lookin more and more like shaedon sharpe should have been the overall top pick. Can’t keep that guy off the floor
Yep. I was throughly impressed. We got everyone we hoped to get for where we drafted, and even added an additional 2nd round pick.
Out of last place and into the bottom5... lets goooooooo!
Knew something like this would happen. Kid is just skin and bones. Just seem like a body full of tension.
Hope he recovers quickly.

its hard to be that tall and that skinny and hold up playing in the nba..........and he hadnt even made it to the nba yet.
but on the flip side thats the argument to why they took oden over durant. so who knows

I have had torn ligament back in the 60 when i was trying to play basketball. Was in a walking cast for about a month. Of course I was one that has always healed quickly. Gave up playing because I had weak ankles before tore the ligaments. Hopefully he can recover quickly as they have much better medical procedures today. Hope the best for him.
He hurt it in a pro am game too that had to be shut down due to unsafe conditions. That sucks.
This is why players leave immediately and why it is hard to blame a guy like Sharpe for doing so. Now how he handled it is a totally different story.
up vote for the unnecessary shaeden sharpe reference
If he lost any weight he might float away
Chet for sure. Imo he obviously has a gland issue that will cause him major health problems even beyond the court. I hate that for him but also think it's just inevitable.
Wow.
Just dont think he's gonna have much of an NBA career. Feel bad for him. This has to be soul crushing.

You got both the name and the body part wrong.
it’s Greg Oden, not Odell. And his problem was his knees, not feet.
Just saw that he is out for the entire season. Nothing against this kid so will wish him the best and that he's able to prove us wrong and have a solid NBA career. Not a very good start for him though.
I had that. I. Twisted my ankle then slipped in the bathroom trying to help my mom get out of the shower and of course naturally tired to land on my twisted ankle. Did not go well. Foot folded up on itself. Pain? Oh my goodness the pain. Hurts like a son of a ……. Had to have three screws in my foot to repair. Mom of course felt guilty as hell. Was in a boot for like a month and then couldn’t wear regular shoe ok in for like another week.
Foot injuries just never heal quite right. Ever. Mine still hurts when it’s way overused or it gets bone chilling cold.
I had a lisfranc injury to my left foot in 2013. Been dealing with it since. I can go weeks and my foot not hurt at all, then all of a sudden it will swell up and is very painful at times
