Zach Collins Dislocated Shoulder

Let’s pray this is the case.

 

Since Nurk and Gasol are also out plus with Whiteside questionable too, I find it strange that they haven't called up Moses Brown from the G-League yet. If it's serious with Zach you'd think they'd either do that or sign a big with the open roster spot. If we sign someone then I'll start to get worried, ha ha.

 

The really good thing is that it's his left shoulder, not his right one. I'm not going to pretend I'm a doctor but maybe the 2nd opinion is whether or not he can play with a high pain tolerance or if he risks further damaging it that way. Rebounding, defense, and jump shots would be painful but not nearly as bad as if it was his right shoulder.

 

What part of "no announcement will be made until Zach is seen by the doctors in PDX" didn't you understand?

 

Collins doesn't need to see a doctor. He just needs to come read this thread.

 

For the record, I'm a Doctor. I didn't dislocate my shoulder but I did tear my labrum snowboarding about 15-16 years ago. Had surgery and it's stronger than before.

 

Yeah, well I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

 

Mine hurt bad enough but when the other guy pulled on my finger I yelled out in pain. There might have been a discouraging word uttered.

 

One time a guy I worked with at Tektronix told me a story about how he was playing basketball with a bunch of guys with one of them being a medical doctor. The doctor went up for a stuff shot wearing his wedding ring and came down without his ring. Yep, finger and all was still up on the rim.
Being a doctor he got the other guys to retrieve the finger and wrap it with ice. He went to the emergency room and got it reattached with the tip grafted to his chest. After an unknown period they were able to separate the finger tip from his chest and he was good to go.
Moral of the story, get your M.D. diploma if you're going to play basketball with your ring on your finger.

 

I didn't realize that passing gas could be so painful. I usually feel much better afterwards...

 

Then it's true, you really are an expert.

 

Wtf is wrong with Gasol? We got him for this reason. Suit him up!

 

SO MANY EXPERTS

 

So, now you're an expert expert?

 

Did you also stay at the Holliday Inn?

tough kid!

 

I would wonder what his version of "done" means. I don't think telling the fans he's out 2-3 months would be all that heartbreaking, it would suck but we'd make it. Is he implying Zach's career is over? Cause that seems really, really unlikely, did Zach's heart dislocate with his shoulder...?

 

He's Fine Wine!
Waiting for the right occasion.
