Was it though or was his situation one of the weirder ones in recent memory

Going with the latter

what the F the fans got to do with it?

This man last played a game June 20th, 2021

he has seemingly had a significant amount of time to get treatment for any physical injury.. and any mental injury, I would hope he tried to get treatment in the last almost year

There were reports from the top dudes in Shams and Woj saying Simmons' return was imminent

If Simmons knew he was hurt all he had to do was speak on it and refute the reports

Now all of a sudden he needs a whole *** surgery

I'd be surprised if Kyrie play 60 games total over the next 4 years

I mean… the whole situation is definitely weird. No doubt.

And if it’s a back injury I can totally see him using it as an excuse to stay off the court in Philly, then trying to rehab and work through it in Brooklyn and just not being able to get there.

It ain’t like doctors are doing elective or optional or exploratory back surgery.

You can take all the issue you want with how he’s handled it - I certainly have and he’s been wild goofy. But back issues that require surgery are a problem.

With Ben’s back problems and Jimbo looking big washed in these playoffs, the Nets-Sixers swap of them may be the rare lose-lose trade/

 

[MajinZuub]

Wonder if Ben getting surgery is related to the grievance he filed for his money back.

You would have been to be very petty, bitter ************ to have elective back surgery. I don’t put it past Benji.

Poor Jokic and Nuggets fans. It looks like they are gonna be a what if team with their core always banged up.
