It is his left, probably out like six weeks and shouldn't be too rusty coming back.
He was looking real good, though. Definitely derails any chance at the all-star game.

The Heat believe Waiters was given the “gummy” by a teammate, but Waiters has been reluctant and has decided not to say who provided it, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Waiters has had a tumultuous series of events with Miami this season.

Thybulle suddenly only playing 3 minutes?
The gummy caused a panic attack on the plane ride ti LA, and not a seizure as previously reported. But Waiters will be suspended 10 games for conduct detrimental to the team, most of which preceded this gummy incident: https://www.local10.com/sports/nba/heat/waiters-suspended-10-games-per-reportDion knows snitches get stitches

He has this season and 2020-2021 remaining on his contract. It's very hard to trade a head case.

Please tell me Stevens isn't going to sacrifice Time Lord's minutes for Enes ####### Kanter when he returns.

Only a couple of times, but he wasn't even an all-star last year.
Right now he is playing like an all-NBA player and fringe MVP candidate.

This actually got me looking into the way too early look at the MVP race. Right now I'd have them as follows:
- Giannis - #1 in PER, Box +/-, WS/48 and VORP. Right now this really isn't close.
- LeBron - He is doing his thing at 34 yrs old. Dominating on both ends of the floor and leading his team to wins. He is the only guy besides the aforementioned freak who is top 10 in both offensive and defensive win shares.
- Doncic - I said fringe earlier, and what I meant was he is actually in the running. He is slightly ahead of LeBron in most of the advanced stats. He just isn't the defensive player LBJ is and his team's record isn't as good.
- Lillard - So far this season he is the best offensive player in the league. But he is a bit of a liability on defense and his team has a losing record.
- KAT - He is top 8 in all of the major advanced stats and is averaging 25.5/12.1/4.3 with 1.4 steals & 1.8 blocks per game. And the T-wolves have a winning record.

Grade 3. Average time missed is 33 games, apparently, and I don’t expect the team to have a major reason to rush him back.

On the topic of ankle sprains - Landry Shamet has a grade 2 sprain and his timetable to return is TBD.
Paul George on the other hand, is expected to make his Clipper debut on Thursday vs the Pelicans.
Kawhi will likely sit out vs. Houston on Wednesday.
In short, skip the Rockets game, tune in to witness the Pelicans get beat-down the night after.

Yea. I like him overall and as a person, but keeping him instead of Butler was a big mistake. Not sure whether they had a choice or not though.Tobias was 0/11

I read a report not too long ago that mentioned there was some behind-the-scenes rifts between Butler and some others in the organization. I don't know that he was keen on sticking around after last year.

IMO, Richardson plus Harris at his age (even with max) is pretty clearly better than Jimmy at his age on a max

Team was looking so good cap wise with a core of Fox-Bagley-Hield. Still is but Then they went out and massively overpaid for Barnes, Dedmon, and Cory Joseph who they will be paying close to $50 mil/yr for the next 3 years SMH. Dedmon was just a terrible read on the market and talent of a journeyman player. The only positive with Barnes is its a descending contract and he's a starter in the league. Even if one that should be your 4th or 5th best.
Say what you want about them and their current situation but the Knicks did it right after whiffing on ZIon-Durant-Kyrie by giving short deals and allowing them flexibility for the future.
Dedmon and Joseph are basically on two year deals, but yeah, those contracts aren’t great. Fox and Bagley need to pop if they are going to have any kind of future. We’ve only seen 1 game from Bagley this year but it wasn’t encouraging.

Missed the partial 3rd. Makes it a little "better". Dedmon's market was ~2/10. No clue how they overpaid so much. Same with Joseph. Wasnt a big offseason for PG needs around the league.
Injuries are the only way IMO Bagley doesn't hit. Went to the 1 game Bagley's played this year when Kings were here. He nor anyone on their team was good that night. They got blown off the court in the 2nd half.
I'd much rather have ponied up for Bogdanovic than paid $25+ mil/yr for those 2.

Not a whole lot of D played in that one, on either side

Austin Rivers calling for the T on Doc was a fun finish to that game. Rockets debacle in Miami seems to have focused them.

Blazers are signing Carmelo Anthony. Seems like the perfect solution to a team that desperately needs to play defense and rebound.

Knicks beat Dallas again. 3-9, (2-0 vs KP), Fizdale saves his job for a bit.

Honestly, this team is exceeding expectations and I think I know why.
Jaylen Brown is MUCH better. I mean we had hoped either him or Tatum would take a big leap forward. Tatum is really the same player with some better shot selection. But Brown is flat out a different player. He makes fewer mistakes and his ball handling has jumped up several notches. His offensive game has become efficient to match his defensive prowess.
I had wanted him to be traded and I have never been more wrong in my life. Signing him to a big contract was absolutely the best move.

Somebody taught JB a hesi and it's made him a legit to-da-hole guy. And he's almost cured me of waiting for one his ten-cent-head gaffes when i watch him. Best of all, he's jumping his switches regularly - as he does better than just about anybody in the game. Something about that combo of size and foot speed can disrupt anybody's move and gives me & coach li'l d-chubs. He's almost certain to plateau when he starts hearing the plaudits, but he has very much taken a step this season.
Celts are soft in the middle but pretty much every other team has quit on being coached (i've watched over 20 teams so far and aint seen an adjustment yet), so it wont hurt the Green's W-L til the playoffs. Loooove Timelord but he's a zone center, respect the hell out of Theis's hustle but he's too small & slow to body-up and the Turk is a swinging door.

Rockets disaster in Miami seems to have woken them up, at least it did Capella before his concussion. Playing well without Gordon, House, and Capella. We'll see how they handle the nasty back to back in Minny tonight. Liking the Harden/Westbrook pairing much better than the Harden/Paul pairing so far but it's a long season.
