    Did I miss Layman getting injured?

    So, you're aware of said injury...?

    I have seen no mention of it and I'm not the only member that appears unaware. Did you peak through the mini-blinds?

    I'm sure it's just a tweaked ankle or something for Jake. But it's Jake--he's probably not playing much this year anyways.

    Yeah which is why I'm disappointed to see him miss FF - he'd probably get more minutes there than he will over the course of all 82 games....

    One can always hope we blow teams out often enough for the 3rd string to play half of the 4th qtr more often! Go bench!

    Layman will be on the inactive list most games.

    We need a D league affiliate again and hopefully use it to get those guys some playing time

    The org doesn't seem to be a big proponent of the NBADL. They don't let their guys spend much time there.

    He'll still be there, just not playing.

    No, but he's injured, and you didn't know about it. So you did in fact miss the news of his injury.

    Probably because they have proof that their coach and training staff can develop talent in practice better than the coaches can in the NBADL.

    Just being in the same room as Dame and Stotts is more effective than actually playing with the Idaho Stampede.

    I only missed it if it's been publicly released. Can't swing-and-miss miss the pitch that hasn't been tossed.
