Sestina out for the next game. I haven't heard why.

[Firewalker_]

I guess that we will find out later.

 

[uk78]

That's going to hurt their chances to win.

 

[DraftCat]

Hopefully an NBA team came calling after seeing his shooting performance.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

Probably a herpes outbreak after getting spit on..

 

[Firewalker_]

I'm wondering if it was something like unsportsmanlike conduct brought down by the TBT for the L's down. Surely not.

Previous family obligation. That's why you don't hang banners for this stuff. It's really just for fun.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

The Fire Department is afraid he will catch the nets ablaze

I get that it's not THAT important and family comes first yada yada but that feels pretty lame...reschedule vacation or fly out before/after game.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

He had to wait for his wheelbarrow balls to reduce in size.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

He isn't done with quarantine or being deloused.

 

[EliteBlue]

We should be able to add a player to the roster…. Derek Willis out of college yet? Is Darius Miller or Dlamb available

I think Miller is involved in the team some way, but not as a player.

I mean he's not making NBA money, and $70K is nothing to sniff at for winning 2 more games. Unless his child is about to be born, go play.

And a million dollars.

 

[ck-2]

They’re probably toast without Nate.

 

[Kybluedude]

Well Young, Aa Harrison and Grady need to step up plus E Bledsoe needs to play much better than last game.

 

[Cleatortoises]

Maybe he got an eye infection from that loogie the filthy trash spit at him.

 

[Fox2monk]

Ugh I don’t like our chances as much, he’s been our best player probably.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Going to need Kanter brother to play like he did the first two games

 

[bbncal02]

Apparently family obligation.

Which I get but man. This is a tournament with money in the line.

We probably lose without him. Sucks. At least we beat the Birds. But losing to those cocky Ohio St jerks is just as bad.

 

[HalHR2500]

Nobody has solved this puzzle yet?

 

[trueblujr2]

Canada better bring his A game. Lol.

 

[uk78]

Losing will be disappointing but "just as bad", no way. Nothing could bring more joy than to see UL go down with their fans on their home court.

 

[mbc82584]

I can assure you, on this one, it’s none of our business.

 

[WallMashKyBall]

Yep, I don't think they stand a chance without Sestina, Bledsoe had more turnovers than points, Kanter's brother didn't show up against Louisville. I always trusted the Harrisons with drive to the basket floaters, and that's what our best scoring option will be, probably won't be enough.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

He was really pushing the envelope with the crowd. I was a bit surprised at how riled up he was. He must have thought he was at WWE Summer Slam.

 

[HagginHall1999]

They'll still win...other guys will step up.

 

[JonathanW]

I’m betting he has to attend a wedding (not his own, maybe a sister or sister-in-law or friend of wife). I doubt his wife would let him out of it.

He’s not married

I'm not sure what he makes playing in Spain, but as someone said, this really is for fun. The players will get at most $70K each, and while that is plenty of money, it doesn't move the needle with quite a few of these guys. I have no idea what the family obligation is, but I do believe family is very important and if he feels like it is more important than the game, it is. As fans it sucks, but these guys owe the fans nothing at this point.
