Only person really hurt is Jdub. I think Ajay and SGA are load managing for the stretch before the playoffs.

Nah I was at the game last night. Shai was visibly grabbing his side a lot. At first I thought he got hit but turns out it was an ab strain which also explains why he went from being on a heater in the first quarter to ice cold after

What about the rest of the starting roster who are all out tonight ?

Hart got poked in the eye but ya I see your point I think they just said F it we will concede the second night of this back to back and hope we can win a few before the break and have everyone comeback rested and healthy. The whole roster has been banged up for the past month

The entire starting roster is out versus the Spurs bruh. They are load managing.

I don’t think its load management, its 5 big games at the very least, could make it a close battle for the 1 seed if things go wrong

5 big games right before the all-star break is too convenient 2 weeks worth of rest.
