Nah, he flopped when guarding Beal who shot and missed, but got the uncontested rebound off his miss and got an and-1.
How can it be comparable when he missed more games in less games scheduled?
Anyways, I hope you are right and I'm overreacting, but the dude seems to get hurt every other week for such a short career. I will grant you that if you didn't bring the numbers I thought he had missed a lot more time.
I think I know why I thought White had missed more time. Didn't he get injured at the end of last season when we were fighting for a playoffs spot? Not only did he get injured at a crucial time, he probably would have missed a lot more time if not for the season ending right there. He ended last season with an injury, and started this one the same way, and now he gets hurt again.
He’s not injury prone in this game, anyone landing on a foot like this gets an ankle sprain, that’s just bad luck.
Weirdly, only 12 threes were made despite the score. But essentially, a good player goes where he wants.
Its comparable because this season is like no other. Manu didn't have to worry about COVID, and he didn't have to play a condensed season with little to no offseason for rest/repair.How can it be comparable when he missed more games in less games scheduled?

I do think that if this happens again next year, then yeah, we have to really worry. I mean its probably OK to really worry right now, but a lot of players have seasons where they miss a ton of games in the span of their career.
Wasn't Joel Embiid pretty much injured for the first two years of his career? Looks like he hasn't had too many problems since.
After his injury Embiid missed: 51, 18, 19, 21 games. This season he has already missed 19 games.
So Embiid is the definition of a true glass cannon. White will be fine. If anything, it shows how important it is to have depth and how disappointing Lonnie has been. If Lonnie met half his potential, White being out for awhile wouldn't be as worrisome (for playoff hopes).
It's kinda hard to believe Derrick White is less than 100 days away from his 27th birthday... He's thought of as one of the "young guys," but he's really about to enter his peak time as an athlete. I hope he can get in a couple games before the play in game(s).
Some players just have a bigger tendency of falling into these kind of plays more often.
Really no spinning the fact that DWhite is injury prone tbh.
That’s what I’m saying, bad luck.
That's also part of being injury prone, tbh.
Not sure about that, being injury prone is mostly having a fragile body.
