    Jesus....for him to require surgery on a nothing burger of a play is just disheartening.

    Totally expected. 100% knew this would be coming at some time. Pretty much everybody did.
    I hope they can get it figured out and get him to have as much time on the court as he enjoys.

    Damn. He’s been one of my favorites so far this season. I knew it was gonna happen eventually due to his injury history. Jabari and Moses time…. Let’s go!

    Wow! To need surgery from a play where there was very little if any shift from that knee, he didn't twist it, he didn't hyper extend it... if it buckled a little to the inside it was barely noticeable, that's rough for him and we likely won't get any value from him in the trade market during this season. Hopefully he can make it back towards the end of the season, show he can play meaningful minutes and then we can get something for him from a team in need of an impact big that probably only has a couple more seasons left in him. That's if he can even get healthy after this.

    I really wish him the best. He seems so nice and is just a beast when he's able to play.

    There are probably multiple treatments they can do. A more comprehensive surgery that has him out longer or a less invasive one that could get him back sooner.

    Sure, but the Blazers' next playoffs are likely 3-4 years away. Oh, yeah, that works.

    It's the time of the year the other teams, like idiots, continue to make their players run and jump and expose them to additional injuries.
