From an ankle sprain? If he sat out now he should already be good before the playoffs ended and would still have a full summer to still work on his game. I don’t think it hurts his trade value at all in all honesty.
I'd think it was at least a grade 2 sprain...it looked nasty. I cringed in empathy when I saw it because I've had my share of sprained ankles. I think once it was probably grade 2...barely. I cried and whined and moaned and groaned like it was a grade 7 though
Yeah, I rolled mine once after I landed on a curb in a pickup game in the company parking lot. I remember laying on the couch that night doing the Lamaze breathing techniques my wife had been learning for our soon-to-be-born son. Either I’m just a total wus (probable) or that shit doesn’t work at all. I’m still in awe of my wife doing natural childbirth for our 3 kids. Actually, I’m still trying to figure out how I ever got laid again after the first one.
Grade 2 - but even that amount of time = death for us: https://www.nba.com/blazers/news/anfernee-simons-medical-update
We'll see i guess? 3-4 weeks with 9 days off for the break. Not sure that spells death but it most certainly could make Billups change the rotation a bit? Sharpe to the 2 spot and let the rest fall into place? Winslow should be coming back I would presume? Johnson has played a bit? They have the new guy Arcidiacono that actually plays PG. He isn't a threat to score but he does distribute pretty well. If Simons is back around St. Patrick's day they could deal with this.
I believe Justise suffered a grade 2 ankle sprain as well and hasn’t played in 2 months. Ant could legitimately be out for the remainder of the regular season.
