Ayton better be back by Tuesday. We could see Super Mario if is isnt.

 

[gimpy]

What happened to Ayton? Did he get injured? I saw he only played about 8 minutes.

 

[Strongstyle]

Ayton landed on someone's foot and sprained his ankle.

 

[gimpy]

Thx. I just saw it in the prior thread and figured that was what it was. Thx, again.

Poor Warriors.....not!

 

[Mainstreet]

Deandre Ayton missing a week or more due to left ankle sprain will hurt.

Warriors looked like this last year at the beginning.

Warriors looked like this last year at the beginning.

Yep. I'm not worried about them at all.

 

[Mainstreet]

I spend my time worrying about the Suns but some really good teams (on paper) are struggling.

How about them Jazz at 5-2. Who would have thought without Mitchell and Gobert.

Freaking Danny Ainge man

Yeah, unfortunately they know how to strategize for peaking in the playoffs. Hopefully something the Suns are learning.

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns right now one of only two teams in Top 10 for both Offense and Defense. With Ayton out for a week that is going to hurt.

The second it happened, I called at least two weeks. With prob another week for “conditioning” because that’s what it always takes for DA to come back from any ankle tweak.

Warriors started last year 11-1 and then go on to 18-2 last season.

Two weeks sounds about right if the Suns are lucky.

It should be Biz. Landale as chemistry with the second stringers. That would create the least amount of disruption.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jabari Smith Jr. will play for the Rockets. Eric Gordon is out.

I'm fine either way. Jock Landale had previously been the backup center to Ayton so they could start him.
