we dont know if hes working hard to come back. he planned on being free this summer. does he jeopardize that for a ring run? we dont know. Its a scary injury. If he tweaks it his hand is forced. he took a year off and quit on a team to rehab.

he should be on the court now if he can walk. Embiid was, harden. Even AD tried.

They're gonna need another 40 point triple double from Booker.

for a dude that scored 70 40 is easy. Like he said "PG is a soft female dog". I'll take that guy.

Think about how easy his 40 was in game 1.

I have a hard time seeing a team giving up a lot of assets for Simmons when he's at his low and getting paid an average of $35 million a year. Philly is stuck with him for the time being.

Some say Ben played his way out of Philadelphia. I think just the opposite. I think he played his way in.

He's reluctant to shoot the ball. Doesn't trust his shot and doesn't want to go to the foul line because he's a lousy free throw shooter. I don't think he's an Alpha dog.

I don't think a franchise will take on his contract. His performance during the playoffs didn't give a reason to take a 177 million dollar contract for a player with Ben's shortcomings.

Is it a sprain? Or is it a tear?

Lets assume it's a sprain, well it happened a week ago Monday. He's out at the very minimum another week. Then he's back from a sprain in 2 weeks? He would be lucky to play at 60-70%.

Plus that ACL won't be stable, go ask KD about pushing an injury. Remember his calf injury he came back too soon and ended up rupturing his achilles.

I'm not a big Booker fan but man he was flashing shades of Mamba Mentality.

Those pull up mid range 15 and 20 footers were sick. Right when the team needed those buckets.

Kawhi must have a very mild grade 1 ACL sprain (microscopic tearing) if the Clippers haven't ruled him out for the series. Of course, this could all be gamesmanship. You never know with his camp.

I don’t believe Kawhi has a torn ACL but given his contract situation , I think he has something nagging and he does not want to risk it like what happen to KD. Clippers are probably cautiously optimistic. Suns will easily win the serious in 5 games if he will not play at all in this series.

Just to note:

A "tear" is the one universal term in this discussion. A sprain (ligament), or strain (muscle), are both "tears", but vary in severity by grade 1, 2, or 3.
