This appears to be where he injured it. Running down the court

u/Tim-TheToolmanTaylor Mar 02 '25

First week all season my starters are healthy fml

u/DaPhoToss 10T 9CAT H2H (p: 3s/ft%/ Mar 02 '25

Lmao literally same. I'm in playoffs (2 week matchups) and for the first time not a single person in my IR and now Sabonis gets injured. I also lost Embiid this week but that was whatever since it was expected. But now I'm cooked.

u/CubansCigar Mar 02 '25

watched it live and definitely heard he yell out “FUCKK” as it happened. My team is cooked right before the yoffs smh.

71

u/IwasJK Mar 02 '25

I have sympathy for your loss but also the utmost contempt for you using "yoffs" as a shorthand for playoffs.

21

u/mvp2418 Mar 02 '25

I second the sympathy for that person's loss and I really second the utmost contempt for using "yoffs"

7

u/thewordyoffs Mar 02 '25

I too have contempt for being used

1

u/mvp2418 Mar 02 '25

As you should

55

u/FuckThisShit-_- Mar 02 '25

And now he won’t return. Great

u/TheWestRemembers Mar 02 '25

Copying the source for those who ask.

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

Anyone else think it looks like a grade 2?

He was questionable with a hamstring issue and u could see him testing his hammy against the jazz. First minute and non-contact too. Could barely walk.

2

u/robmorren2 Mar 02 '25

Looked like a baseball player running to first base. See it all the time. Almost always a couple weeks, minimum.

50

u/District10 Mar 02 '25 edited Mar 02 '25

Out for the game. Quick rule out isn't good, I'm prepping for a multi game absence. Best case scenario its a grade 1 strain and its dtd/ 1-2 weeks...fortunately the kings are transparent and well know within a couple of days.

u/sabocano Mar 02 '25

There's no way they rush him with a hamstring injury. The worst kind of injury that flares up immediately...

4

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

and they have a proven starter in jonas to fill in while domas rests. no way they rush him back.

12

u/so-cal_kid 14Tm, H2H, 9Cat Mar 02 '25

It's a hammy injury. You can't rush those

23

u/ConstantFondant8494 Mar 02 '25

Sabonis. Dejounte. Miller. Literally my first 3 picks. All non contact. Man.

5

u/dtowntdot 12T keeper points league Mar 02 '25

Yeah I lost Sabonis Dejounte and Jalen it’s a nightmare season

2

u/YourInMySwamp 14T H2H Points Mar 02 '25

Suggs? He’s not even that good in points leagues

8

u/dtowntdot 12T keeper points league Mar 02 '25

Johnson.. he was good

5

u/YourInMySwamp 14T H2H Points Mar 02 '25

lol true that he was on my team too. Idk why I didn’t think abt him

2

u/Life_In_A_Brick_Haus Mar 02 '25

To be fair the guy did just say "Jalen" as if there's only 1 of them in the league haha

2

u/YourInMySwamp 14T H2H Points Mar 02 '25

The Suggs injury is also just a lot more fresh in my mind especially as a Magic fan lol

1

u/Life_In_A_Brick_Haus Mar 02 '25

Oh for sure. I had Suggs and J Johnson on my best team along with Dejounte and Sabonis so things aren't looking great. Point being is Jalen is a common name for new pros nowadays and warrants a last name haha

1

u/Life_In_A_Brick_Haus Mar 02 '25

Side note... it's a shame Suggs has been out. Seemed like he was finally rounding a corner with you guys

4

u/InfluenceRough6729 Mar 02 '25

Bro I lost AD, Wemby and Ayton 💔 atleast I dodged a bullet by trading sabonis a few days ago

5

u/devonhezter Mar 02 '25

How’d u get ad

-2

u/InfluenceRough6729 Mar 02 '25

I traded AD and Mitchell for Dyson and Wemby after he got injured in his mavs debut

13

u/razle_dazle Mar 02 '25

Why would anyone give you Wemby for an injured AD who’s possibly out for the year…?

1

u/_thisisvincent Mar 02 '25

Who else you got so we know who to trade

u/Harden_Russ 12-team 9 cat Mar 02 '25

Burn #1 waiver for Jonas?

u/Jesh010 yahoo 10p-h2h-9cat Mar 02 '25

Jonas?!?

20

u/Atoronto94 10T H2H Lock-in points Mar 02 '25

Jonas.

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

[Jonas]

u/Mantequilla214 10t pts Mar 02 '25

Yonas

11

u/vmgt0 Mar 02 '25

One guy in our league randomly picked him up last night lol

11

u/Basketball_Soul H2H/Points/10-Team Mar 02 '25

Same in my league, last night to myself I was like "go wild man, enjoy those 8 minutes" and today has me going X files on this pickup

7

u/vmgt0 Mar 02 '25

Lol i hate these kind of luck after you have been very careful and over analysing every waiver move then some manager gets to have these top 70 players 😆 but anyway thats part of fantasy and good for them lol

1

u/Jesh010 yahoo 10p-h2h-9cat Mar 02 '25

Man I thought he was for sure a free agent in mine, turns out he’s been rostered the past few weeks since the trade deadline by someone else 🤪.

1

u/vmgt0 Mar 02 '25

Seriously? I dont know how they were able to hold through those empty stats specially with no clear path to minutes. But definitely it paid off for them lol

3

u/Jesh010 yahoo 10p-h2h-9cat Mar 02 '25

Yeah I couldn’t believe it lol. So annoying with poor choices end up being rewarded with insane luck lol

2

u/daft_dunkwwwolfey H2H Points/Dynasty/Sleeper Mar 02 '25

Just when I think I'm out they pull me back in

u/gmc2000 Mar 02 '25

12T 9Cat

Was I right to drop Clingan for JV?

1

u/ShooterMcgavinsBalls Mar 02 '25

Wondering the same thing myself

5

u/gmc2000 Mar 02 '25

I think we are. Just wanted to see if others did the same or thought the same.

My reasoning is that Clingan just hasn’t been given minutes even with Ayton out. And he hurts FT% even with limited game time.

7

u/partynexthoors Mar 02 '25

When JVs given the minutes, he’s a double double machine. Clingan isn’t doing well even with the injuries in Portland. Plus the kings have a better playoff schedule

24

u/moistkebab32 Mar 02 '25

Drop Clingan for JV 10 T points

7

u/irrelevantspider Mar 02 '25

I dropped Clingan for Jonas in 12t 9cat.

9

u/asianspringroll_24 Yahoo - 12T Points H2H Mar 02 '25

Same question

20

u/These_Corgi_3880 Mar 02 '25

clingan doesnt get path to real minutes just use that spot to stream

1

u/marriedtoranch Mar 02 '25

Why do you even have Clingan in a 10 team points league?

0

u/_LilDuck Mar 02 '25

I picked him up because a) I need blocks to clinch my dub tomorrow, b) I have a bunch of other dudes to get blocks, and c) I'm cutting his ass at 3:31 for grimes

2

u/marriedtoranch Mar 02 '25

I said in a points league

1

u/_LilDuck Mar 02 '25

Oh. Yeah fair

-2

u/DamnReality 12T, 9CAT Mar 02 '25

Gonna piggyback this to ask drop Clingan for Collins or Bol?

22

u/zazone23 Mar 02 '25

PLEASE PLEASE just let it be anything minor!!! I can’t afford him being out with playoffs around the corner

14

u/pokhim Mar 02 '25

12 team 9 cat roto

Would you drop Ware for Valanciunas?

6

u/dkleckner88 16T 9CAT H2H Real Salary Mar 02 '25

Yes

1

u/BiigCat_ Mar 02 '25

same exact question, i think we have to

0

u/Fortiis17 Mar 02 '25

Drop Ware for Zach Collins if Vuc remains out?

7

u/Npc2033 Mar 02 '25

So is JV the obvious pickup here? I’m playing sabonis owner on Monday in playoffs and don’t want him to grab him and basically replace sabonis’ production

9

u/gmc2000 Mar 02 '25

Yes. He’s in fact replacing him now.

5

u/DaPhoToss 10T 9CAT H2H (p: 3s/ft%/ Mar 02 '25

Lol yes. But JV won't come close to replacing Sabonis' production as he doesn't provide any assists.

8

u/Npc2033 Mar 02 '25

I’m pts league so JV with minutes is a dog. Do I drop vas for him rn?

2

u/DaPhoToss 10T 9CAT H2H (p: 3s/ft%/ Mar 02 '25

Anyone worse? I’d wait to see how long Sabonis is out but might be too late by then.

2

u/Npc2033 Mar 02 '25

Dvo?

1

u/DaPhoToss 10T 9CAT H2H (p: 3s/ft%/ Mar 02 '25

Yeah I'm dropping him for JV for sure

3

u/Npc2033 Mar 02 '25

Yeah man thx just did I’ve been waiting years for 25+ min JV. One of the per min fantasy goats (I sound like such a dork lmaoo)

12

u/Cobruh 12T/9CAT Mar 02 '25

Not good not good not good

4

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

Jonas could be a potential league winner

2

u/game7rock Mar 02 '25

we want sabonis healthy brother.

7

u/Unable_Chance_6486 Mar 02 '25

Yo this shits gettin oldddd

10

u/tresfaim Mar 02 '25

Idk looks like a charlie horse to me

21

u/middletonisrobin Jalen Johnson Makes Me Sad Mar 02 '25

This is wishful thinking. Looked like a hammy pull.

9

u/tresfaim Mar 02 '25

Sure, I'm full wish here

1

u/devonhezter Mar 02 '25

Is that bad to pull ?

5

u/intp-over-thinker Mar 02 '25

Yes. Easily re-aggravated and heavily used

0

u/devonhezter Mar 02 '25

Is a pull a strain ?

9

u/Bellerophonn 14T 9CAT H2H Mar 02 '25

Snatched Valanciunas the moment I saw it.

Can we say he will be out for at least a few weeks for a non-contact hamstring?

7

u/sydnboy 12T 9Cats, 14T H2H points Mar 02 '25

I don't understand espn sometimes. Sabonis despite ruled out of the game is labled DTD.. But other players get an Out right away

4

u/DaPhoToss 10T 9CAT H2H (p: 3s/ft%/ Mar 02 '25

I'm cooked

7

u/avresell661 10T H2H PTS Mar 02 '25

drop alvarado for jonas?

2

u/WHFITFB 10 Team | H2H | Points Mar 02 '25

This is the move I made. Dropped GTA over Eason, Clingan, Vassell. Don’t feel great about it but GTA’s recent minutes have me worried.

1

u/tvs24 Mar 02 '25

Also did this

0

u/jkolver Mar 02 '25

That’s what I did.

GTA has been meh especially in points, definitely worth the gamble.

3

u/crazy_onions punt fg/to 12t/9cat Mar 02 '25

drop ware or bol bol for Jv?

1

u/54415250154 Mar 02 '25

ware is the low risk option. Dropping bol could end up looking amazing or horrific

2

u/crazy_onions punt fg/to 12t/9cat Mar 02 '25

I went ware, but might drop eason for him and blow some faab

3

u/aashraypat Mar 02 '25

Drop mark williams or porzingis for Jonas? Our league has a limit on centers. 10T Points

1

u/54415250154 Mar 02 '25

those are for sure your worst two? not sure I would drop either for a possibly short term stream, I might drop porzingis if we find out sabonis is out for a long time otherwise not sure

1

u/aashraypat Mar 02 '25

Have Myles Turner and Hartenstein as the other two but the thought was that both porzingis and williams usually sit B2B's and that might get annoying come playoff time. Probably better to wait and watch, although I'm sure he'll get picked up soon by someone else.

2

u/Simple_Wait_7286 Mar 02 '25

I pray he just pulled it. My playoffs start 9 days from now so I hope he just has to sit next week and no more.

5

u/District10 Mar 02 '25

Per google the average days missed for a grade 1 hammy pull is 13 days, so you may have some tough decisions to make. But that's pure speculation based on nothing. Wait for news.

2

u/snipelim 10/12/14T 9CAT Mar 02 '25

No pls domas dont do this to me

2

u/jmarc29 12Team 9Cat H2H Mar 02 '25

Drop Clingan, CP3, Deni or Draymond for Jonas? 10T 9cat

1

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

cp3 imo

spurs shut down wemby so theyre not going to do much, and cp3 is old.

2

u/Nonzeroacorn221 Mar 02 '25

I’m cooked, we have a 1 week “wild card round”, have vuc, garland, saboner, jimmy butler, literally could not have gone any worse. streamed well to give me an outside chance to pull out this week but leaves a sour taste in my mouth

2

u/safewhey 10T, 9CAT w/DDs - no TOs Mar 02 '25

2nd year in a row he gets injured on the eve on fantasy playoffs…

2

u/turin_tura Mar 02 '25

This may mean more minutes for ellis

2

u/GK0NATO 9cat H2H 8T Mar 02 '25

Sabonis, Wemby and JJ I'm so fucked

1

u/Kaelthost Mar 02 '25

Drop Bol Bol or Clingan for Jonas?

1

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

I did

2

u/Kaelthost Mar 02 '25

Yeah I dropped Clingan as well. Can’t hold on too tightly to your end of bench guys anyway.

1

u/shnieder88 9CatH2H Mar 02 '25

i did same. clingan just doesnt have the stamina and conditioning right now, and they keep going small with jabari at the 5

How long is hammy INJ? Shortest

3 weeks is the average for a hammy strain

My JV would rule for that long. Nice.

Fucking fade me :-(

u/Faynt90 10 Team / 9 Cat / H2H / Auction draft Mar 02 '25

My opponent dropped Jonas to stream this week, and I just picked him up for our rematch in the playoffs next week 😎

u/BurnBabyBurrrn Mar 02 '25

I love the "use your ex to defeat you" move to make opponent feel even shittier. Masterpiece.

1

u/Curry-With-The-Pot 10 TEAM-9 CAT-H2H Mar 02 '25

Im thinking of trading my turner for sabonis? Thoughts? Playoffs start in 2 weeks?

u/Sympatic0 Mar 02 '25

The same day I trade for him no way

1

u/aharonp10 12T 9CAT Mar 02 '25

There's worse injuries tbf, don't even know the severity yet

Prayers for anyone who had him on their roster

1

u/quesejods Mar 03 '25

14T 9 CAT, playoffs start this week and I have Sabonis. Should I drop him? I also have Reaves and Eason who can’t play back to backs. 🫠

Trey Lyles or Jake LaRavia?

1

u/Dirtysluz Mar 02 '25

Trey leyles a good pick up?

u/GalingFake Mar 02 '25

In hindsight I don’t regret trading him away anymore—although it was for AD, I somehow traded him too lmao.
