    We'll be fine. Atleast he's not out till next year. It could be worse. It's only 2 weeks. Seems minor

    Did some digging on other non-displacement fibular fractures:

    Dante Cunningham had this -- out 4-6 weeks
    Tyson Chandler- out 4-6 weeks
    Nash suffered this same injury vs Dame in 2012- out 4 weeks

    Obviously each injury is different, but this seems fairly common

    Nuggets about to lose so we have a nice cushion. We can still make the playoffs, hopefully he can be out there for them.

    Also prepare for the potential that we get Nuggets fans trolling us for this.

    I know it seems fairly common for Blazers centers

    Even if we don't make playoffs or go down to GS, think long term people. It was always about next season.

    Send Quarterman to the D league and bring in Chris Kaman on a couple 10 day contracts.

    That doesn't look good for us but we will see who going to step up to take his place. But I don't see it I guess Nurk shouldn't said that commit to the Nuggets it might have back fire.

    Reevaluate in 2 weeks, doesn't mean he'll be cleared to play in 2 weeks.

    Honestly, I don't want him coming back too soon. Nurkic is too important in the long term.
