Chet banged up. Good time to call Presti and offer Collins for a dude.
God damn
Not great news for the league. He's a great player and fun to watch! He's also wembys son
8-10 weeks indicates a serious fracture tbh. Iliac fractures are essentially broken hip "lite". He'll survive and shouldn't see any long term problems, unless there's nerve damage (ilium has multiple bone processes/markers for nerves going to the lower appendicular skeleton). During the recovery period, chances are it'll be a pain in the ass for him to do anything basketball related (considering they're forecasting 8-10 weeks). Your trunk and upper appendages weigh pretty heavily on the two coxal bones, the iliac being basically about 50+% of the total mass of your pelvic skeletal bones.
Seems like a painful injury for even normal everyday things, let alone professional ball player things.
8-10 week wait for just for a return to action plan. Seems like we aint gonna see him on the court again till after the ASB, and I'd say that's being optimistic.
In my experience, 8-10 weeks would indeed be a short span of time to recover, and there's far more dangerous items (like blood clots) which could be at play. That said, I've learned never to underestimate the power of youth.
Hope he recovers.....
Sad news coz he was Ballin....
Even though he is Wemby's rival, we wish him well.....
Yeah, 10 weeks from today is like the 20th of January…for them to tell us the plan. Looks like essentially the second missed season of his first three.
Yikes, that could affect him long term.
I'd expect him out for this entire season. OKC has no playable centers right now.
We offer Collins??
Lady Luck denying OKC the NBA le
Feels bad for Chet, but that's the DPOY decided right there, tbh.
Also, Jokic is a top10 player ever, I don't care what anyone says. Get that man another legit star so he can win a couple more rings.
Really sucks, I like watching Chet play and he had a fantastic start. 8-10 weeks is brutal.
I feel bad for the guy. When I first saw the video, I didn't think it was anything that serious. I thought he'd be back in a week or so. I hope it heals OK and nothing that can affect him going forward.
Jokic has a chance to go down as 3rd in the GOAT debate after MJ and Lebron if he gets 3 rings and continues this statistical dominance until he’s 33-34.
It's 8-10 weeks before they have an idea how long it will be.
That sucks! Chet was playing so well.
In general I don’t recall so many injuries to big players this early in a season. It’s a shame

Current injury list is kind of ridiculous, some teams barely have enough players for a decent rotation.
I really like Chet’s bbiq. He doesn’t seem to have Vic’s fluidity but his determination to get in the lane makes his game strong, but it always looks risky. Hope he can recover completely.
Doc say Chet actually is lucky that he did not suffer additional wrist or elbow fracture due to the fall. Also his lack of muscle might made the injury worst.
Nonetheless, speedy recovery to Chet. He seems like a humble dude and play the right way.
Let's hope there's no complications, I like the dude's tbh, his old school/stoic mentality. The league needs players like him
Down goes Holmgren.....
Is this era of pace, space and tres causing these types of injuries? Off the top of my head, it seems like players rotating to cover the basket are getting injured a lot.
Sorry for Chet, that sucks for him and OKC.
Ironic that people said Wemby would have injury issues when he was drafted a year after Chet, and will pass him in games played early next month.
