The injury report sums it up, but apparently, the Larry Nance Jr. illness is more serious than just tankitis, as hes lost 20 pounds in a couple weeks. Get well soon, Larry!

Just going by the eye test, too, they’ve looked way better with him on the court.
Delly literally one of the best passers in the NBA…. impact metrics were made to identify guys like him who just make teams better.
Also Hartenstein has been a revelation, Jokic really leaving his imprint on the NBA.
MPJ going to be a super star if he stays healthy… on a ridiculous scoring tear now, something like 17 straight games of over 50% FG, tied with Rudy Gobert.
If he and Murray can kick it up a notch in the playoffs, they could be title contenders.
With Gordon they are.
Javale looked great for them other night.
yup, yup…
Kabengele on a 10-day. Thought he was an interesting prospect coming out of college. Long. Athletic. Shot 76% from the line. Pretty switchy. Raw, though.
Perhaps he could develop into something. Delly did. Wade has. And this dude was a first rounder.
College numbers say he can rebound and block shots… but College/G-League numbers appear to say he’s not an efficient enough scorer… did shoot 61% TS in the G-League so I guess there’s hope.
Already 23 years old though… interestingly, he’s Dikembe Mutombo’s nephew!
MIKEO—DID A CLF (LMFAO )
The Larry Nance thing has me concerned for his health. 20 pounds in a couple weeks is just scary, especially for a professional athlete. He does have Crohn’s disease but supposedly he had started treating in high school after he was diagnosed.
Sounded like food poisoning, or worse COVID… i know he tested negative, but there are cases of people testing negative while being symptomatic.
might be a good idea to shut him down for the season: work on full recovery, and help tank
In the “suspect Cleveland trade” category, baseball edition, Tyler Naquin is on pace to hit 108 HR. That’ll make the Reds forget Brandon Phillips.
