Agreed but what this does is gives Olshey another opportunity to keep this flawed roster and coach together for another season with the, "We haven't had a chance to show what we can do yet." shit.
i think it happened when he fell a few plays earlier. The swipe made him realize it. When he missed his wrist and hand flopped and he realized something bad had happened. I don't think it was the swipe that cause the injury but what caused the realization of the injury.
So sad. Feel bad for Nurk. The team. Everyone bailing on nurk as if he hasnt been trying. Poor guy has been trying to grt back from one of the more grew some injuries the nba has ever seen. All the nurk hate.... not from me. Poor guy. Hope he can maintain a positive attitude
I don't like small ball at all but maybe if we played someone at the 5 that couldn't possibly be called a center, we could avoid this curse (I don't actually believe in curses but this injury history is pretty compelling).
Stotts LOVES small ball unfortunately. Prepare to pull your hair out. I hope we can get some more Nassir which actual coaching instead of him having to stand out at the corner 3.
The rash of injuries the past couple years...I feel the need to reiterate my concern about the current medical staff. Team health was so much better during the previous regime. Nurk and Zach with repeated fracture issues (and a barely-contact shoulder injury), CJ with a fractured back, Hood's Achilles, Dame's knee... Some are random tweak type injuries, but several point to dietary or training methodology issues.
I saw it broken down on youtube and his hand after swiping at the ball hit Brogdans knee as Brogdan was raising up...that's where it impacted his hand, probably at the base of the thumb
