    I seem to remember Przybilla dislocating his shoulder and missing 2-3 weeks. Pretty sure that Steve Blake had a dislocated shoulder and missed several weeks too. If Kanter is back playing in 5 days, it would have to have been a minor dislocation

    speaking of Przybilla, anybody else remember when he had a contusion on his....ahem...jewels, and missed a couple of weeks?

    It’s a separation, not a dislocation. Different part of the shoulder.

    But Damian's still playing, right?
    Man injuries....the fucking equalizer.
    The way he was celebrating in the dogpile I'm guessing he'll play.

    He said that he was heavily drugged and he was so excited about the win that he just tuned it out, but his shoulder hurt a lot.

    Yes. Wookee and I were talking to Barrett and Rice after a game and they gave some pretty vivid detail. Big as a volleyball IIRC

    Well, considering how often Mike said players would add 15 pounds of pure muscle during the off season, I'm sure that was embellished a bit.

    In addition to seemingly being a terrific person, I'm guessing Enes is one tough SOB..that coupled with his pure joy of this team he'll probably play, but to what effectiveness?
    Now on the other hand if he flat out can't go, then he's really really hurt.

    I was gonna say.

    And adrenaline is a great pain suppressor as well.

    It's time for Biofreeze to do it's thing! The Biggie for Skal trade is lookin' better and better now...even if Enes misses games we still have 3 7ftrs and the small ball option..Skal might be good for a block or so..but this is where Meyers and Zach have to show up big time....still glad we have 3 guys to step up.

    Skal Zach and Meyers are about as far from tired and burned out as 3 big guys could be on a team...that could be a good thing.

    this series is primed for him to make a major leap...Meyers too actually...it's great to have Meyers gain value in the playoffs

    His on court value may be minimal but he definitely is great support to the guys on the court, that’s worth something. Not 11 million a year, but something.

    I was so impressed with Scal in that kings game, he had moves I had no idea he had. That said 2nd round of the playoffs is a bit different than the last game of a season.

    Crazy story I met a hatian dude in a coffee shop this week that knows Skal and actually helped him immigrate to Tennessee.

    just go out to a court and flex a few times...you won't get Meyers fever but you might get Meyers sniffles
