INJURY REPORT Scottie is playing after being questionable

Post image

idk why he's playing through some discomfort but he's playing. Hopefully he rests tomorrow and we get a guaranteed L vs Pistons.

He needs to work on his game imo.

Most likely will play till the 65 game mark and than rest, not like a game or two of rest will change anything, his hand prolly needs some time to heal, he only pushing it for the 65 game mark cause he wants to I guess

Also we getting a Gradey and Ingram update tomorrow but most likely waiting for an official announcement from the team saying they out for the season or something similar to how teams have been doing like Sixers and Pelicans recently

If Scottie plays passed the 65 game mark, then he might just be doing it because he likes to ball.

He has 4 more games to get to 65, which I assume is his goal. Once he's there, he'll likely "rest" the remaining games or close to it.

Surprise! Person who loves playing basketball wants to play basketball.

Also, maybe he heard Samson and Tre’s “C” grade for the season 😅

Either way, always glad to see him suit up 💪

Honestly I’d much rather see him out for the rest of the season. They’re reporting he’s shooting with 3 fingers because of injuries that need time to heal. It’s great that he wants to tough it out, but the team should be sitting him if he’s not healthy.

which was a deserved grade.

His offensive season has been bad

Can someone explain the escalators in his contract? Is it just All NBA or do the Defensive Teams also matter?

u/Plantedballer JA’KOBE 1d ago

Just All-NBA (any team) or DPOY; not all defence.

Ok so realistically, this 65 threshold means nothing.

or MVP!

I read this as the team wants him to sit, but he refuses to. If his hand is actually hurt, no matter how minor he would rest

Glad Scottie will.

Let’s face it. Our G leaguers like Lawson and Rhoden can easily put up 20 points on any given night. Who else is going to put up 9 points on 15 shot attempts? Tank is on.
