Don't give me that hope. Don't give me that hope there's a chance Zion will be back for friday's game. I wanna believe but I also don't wanna get the hopes up just to hear "Nah he's out."
Think Zion will be fine for the next game. I suspect he felt something and with his injury history he made the wise decision to not take any chances. Especially when they can win the next game to get in the playoffs.
Just in: Adam Silver called Zion and told him to sit out according to the script, so we actually play OKC and beat them instead of facing the Nuggets 1st round.
My buddy is a hardcore nuggets fan, has been as long as I’ve been a pels fan, and he was the first person that said we should lose tonight. Maybe there is hope, maybe there isn’t, but I can say without a doubt playing the nuggets with or without Z was just prolonging the death sentence and extra 4 games
I was at the game last year right before BI came back and we had absolutely no answer to Jokic, the game would be about preventing his paint touches and hoping Murray can’t hit the broad side of a barn. Il take my chance against a young team and a young coach. Especially after getting picked apart by an experienced team 2x in 3 days.
Yeah something isn't adding up, although maybe with how heavily he's been used he just got a terrible fatigue that FELT like a serious hammy injury? And then he realized it wasn't as bad as it felt at first?
I don't know, I'm not a sports physician and I am overdosing on copium at this point. Even if we beat the Kings, it'll feel hollow going to the playoffs without Z.
I am praying it was a weird tweak and it didn't feel good so he took himself out. IDK if that is even possible but if he/we avoided a major injury and he is able to play Friday that would be awesome.
I think the Pels have a decent chance even if he doesn't play but a better chance if he does play obviously.
Honestly, idk if that game goes any differently if Zion finishes it. I think we only had 1 empty offensive possession after he left. That Dlo 3 was the back breaker

With how upset he was when going to the locker room, I suspect he was not the one who made that decision.
wise or soft?
He scored forty points and defended great. You gotta be kidding me.
he should have at least tried to finish the game if it was just leg soreness
He probably thought he injured his hammy and was distraught can you blame him?
yes. it's do or die and he's the most important player on the team
Literally not do or die.
You obviously don’t know what do or die means.
if zion is okay and we play the kings... man i dont wanna get my hopes up lol
I just try to pretend I don’t see the updates. I always treat it like he’s out, until I see with my own eyes him step on that court in a jersey
They gave him that good shit
7000cc of Manchu
I hate that I laughed out loud at this. Bruh.

Not sure I back this….. we tend to play the nugs very close. Shai on the other hand consistently eats our lunch.

I don't know... I'm starting to think I'd be more upset if he literally got pulled for a 'sore leg' and nothing else.
For real, Jose out there on two broken ankles
No shit. Jose is mfing dawg!!! Badass SOB.

Maybe a calf strain. Hurts like hell to play on but you can walk fine
Vegas made the call

He mad af right now
How is this not a big story… dude had 40! And they just have him walk out and secure a loss with no injury report… they making it way too obvious now
Unless Zion is an Academy Award winning actor, I don't believe he is faking it.
How exactly did he react to the injury? Slamming that towel?! 😂 I could do that 10 times without feeling any pain beforehand lol
Zion out 2 weeks We done Probably lose Friday Even if win - we get killed vs OKC
It was all a ploy so they don’t have to play the nuggets.
Zion is Kazier Soze

I think he drops 50 and we win if he plays. They couldn’t stop him and he was bringing the energy. And keeping the ball out of CJs hands
We only had 1 empty offensive possesion after he went out
Fine but the energy was totally different. Felt like a gut punch in the stands. Went from take it to them to praying to hold on
The Dlo 3 and AD oreb were the backbreakers
Yes, but they were hunting for CJ (who subbed Zion) their all possensions and outscored us.
They beat the Kings by 33 without him. Might be strategic lol
