    There is a joke in there about his condition is on offense...

    But, glad to hear he is recovering well. I am an Ant fan.

    So Justice sprained his ankle over 2 months ago which at this point looks like it was pretty much season ending! Unbelievable lol

    I've asked a few times... When do we get an injury exception for Winslow?

    I believe the injury has to be deemed season ending in order to get one.

    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11...layer exception can,and a mid-level exception.

    That goes into some detail and examples. Probably wouldn't use it anyway but who knows. As bad as Winslow's ankle possibly is, I wonder if they are regretting not just getting surgery. Either way I'm glad that it's Winslow and not Ant.

    And sadly rather than develop Sharpe, Billups is going to continue to give minutes that should go to Sharpe to Reddish. So I want Ant back since mysteriously Sharpe's playing time is unaffected by Ant's availability.

    You can only throw a high school rookie in the fire so much before diminishing returns.

    Exactly. That young players only develop with minutes on the floor in actual games is nonsense... heck, I don't even think thats the primary reason young players develop. Shaedon is getting plenty of floor time and I'm sure they're working with him in practice and individually extensively. The subconscious mind has to wrap itself around all the new info to integrate it so the player can just react instead of think/process. Thats why players so often take a big step forward year 2.

    Sounds like you coach or teach. These are proven positions taught to PDC trainers.
    Facts.

    Did we get any word if he was being reevaluated?
