Not even a little. Because if it was in any way serious he wouldn't have returned to practices and wouldn't be playing the SL games either. I can confidently say that he would have been shut down for SL if it was anything other than minor.

Okay, but I'm not really concerned about his availability for summer league. When you're talking about big men, I just hate to hear "back pain" or "foot problems".

It is going to be a rigor for the adjustment to the NBA -- practice sessions, practice games and the season.

I am sure that he will be brought along properly and experience adjustments along the way.

Everyone experiences muscle tightness when they are working as hard as these guys are. Ayton just happened to have some tightness in his back, but they were able to work it loose and he is feeling good now.

Also I don't care all that much about his availability for SL either and that is why I can feel confident that it is nothing to worry about. Because if it was the Suns wouldn't risk him for something as insignificant as SL.

Okay, then say muscle soreness. Don't freak us worriers out by mentioning the back. :cool:

Trae Young and Allen get into it. Double technical.

Allen would not let Young go up with the shot and he locked his arms down. Then a scuffle.

Trae Young is looking for fouls. He is not going to get them in summer league.

That sounds odd, to say the least. He has 2 black eyes that were caused with 1 band that snapped and hit him in his eye, which is normal or probable, but then it ricochets somehow and hits his other eye right after? Wouldn't his nose keep that from happening? I just don't see how his story is possible.

Yep it would make more sense if he said it hit my nose and broke it and that's why I have 2 black eyes. My PT therapist when I was rehabbing my knee a few months ago told me that has happened twice to patients who weren't careful about how they used the bands.

If I'm up to date on Young he's now 12-52 in 3 games? 23%. He'll get better but clearly having issues adjusting to defenses so far.

I was surprised how scrawny he looks. Knew he was slight but I thought he added muscle. Apparently not enough.

Steve, if I were in your computer room right now, I would slap you Airplane! style to get you to calm down and relax.

Yeah but I'd probably panic and overreact more like Bill Paxton - "we're all gonna die, man, we're all gonna die".

Seriously, I'm not trying to borrow trouble, I just hated hearing "sore back". Sore back bad, happy back good.

"Game over, man!" Nah, just messing with you. I hated hearing it as well but I'm trying to remain calm. :)

Lol yeah seems a bit shady to me. Once that band hits one side of your face that's it that's the impact right there it's not gonna have enough force left over to go to the other side of your face lol.

Next thing we are gonna hear Bridges injured his right hand in the shower
Actually if he got it square on the bridge of the nose it is quite common to have it bruise under both eyes. You see it with people who break their nose quite often.

Allen... that dirt bag is going to be among the most hated players in the NBA within 2 years... and probably out of the league within 6.

Yup I've boxed for years and have had my nose broken a few times but it doesn't say he has a broken nose or anything like that
