He does not deserved this.

Christian Wood Cries After Breaks His Ankles&Taken Off Court In a Wheelchair !

His fall looked terrible, but he probably will fine because Houston announced today that Wood has an ankle sprain, not an ankle fracture. I think that he will need a couple of weeks to recover from this injury.

Well great news indeed, at least the injury was not serious that requires operation.

Thanks for the update, I was also worried about this one, here's the news to confirm the status.

Christian Wood diagnosed with sprained right ankle, will be evaluated on weekly basis

Kevin Durant just got pulled out of the Nets game for the health and safety protocol after playing the first half. Not a good sign for the players on the floor with him. This has a Rudy Gobert smell to it. We could be seeing these two teams unable to play for a couple weeks if Durant did indeed test positive.

Some articles said that he won't be able to travel because of the contract tracing that is happening. I hope this won't be the same as Rudy Gobert. He didn't just pull out once, he was pulled out in a game twice. He was tested three times and still negative, the team needs him. In terms of the protocols of NBA, since he is a close contact, did he not follow protocols of the league?

The team will struggle without him, that's for sure.
Durant might be out for a while but with their standing now, I think they can still get into the playoffs even with Harden and Irving only leading the team.
With this crucial situation we are, every protocol should be followed and NBA has to be strict in implementing it so this season will be a success.

He will be investigated I think

I didn't want the game live but I was curious why his minutes was only limited when I saw the stats report after the game, and I read this news. Durant is probably infected with covid-19, and as a protocol, this team will have to be isolated and maybe other teams as well.

We will have to wait for further update but I think the scenario you point is likely to happen.

Yeah, I was just looking at it now.
He played 19 minutes only.
I was watching the Celtics vs Clippers game and didn't know what happened.
Looks like Covid-19 is hitting a lot of players in the bubble.
I wouldn't be shocked if suddenly they will just pause the season and try to have a mass testing first just to identify where it is coming from.

Very big possibilities that this one will be consider.

The virus needs to trce up, players are not exempt they all needs to have the test and see who are the affected one, this may help
for long term solution instead of tracing them when they already been exposed, much better to lessen the risk exposing more players
and be infected by this pandemic.

Interestingly Durant did tested negative as far as we know, and we know he also had Coronavirus when it first started so he should be fine himself but the fear was that he might had been in contact with someone who had corona, but that person didn't even get their results back just yet. So, basically it wasn't even about Durant being with someone who had coronavirus, it was about Durant being with someone who "might" had coronavirus.

I am all fine with extreme measures honestly, if everyone sees what is going on and extreme measures are taken about these things, players could probably act a bit better about it and not take any risks. Durant is a marvelous player but they still have a lot of other great players with Irving and Harden, I am sure if you put those two together they can still get wins, but at the end of the day as long as they make it to playoffs healthy, they are going to be fine.

Now all the players are saying they don’t want an all star game... Not sure where that came from. You’d think LeBron would want to chase more all star game records while he has the chance. I hope Adam Silver stands his ground and makes them do an all star weekend of some kind. That game has always been for the fans and we need it after how sports have been the last year.

If I'm not mistaken and that topic was discussed here before, prior to the opening of the 2020-21 NBA Season, part of the changes this season is not having an All-Star game, obviously limiting the activity related to the pandemic. I'm really surprised when NBA All-Star voting commenced so I did some research and found no article stating that All-Star will really push through.

What I found is, voting just began but there's no official announcement if there will be an All-Star game. As I also stated in the other thread, maybe the voting was part of the preparation just in case there will be a change of plan if NBA pushes the All-Star game.

I do remember that, so I kinda not expect it as well, but of course everyone wants to see an all star, and the set up now is different from the last season which was a bubble, so if they will host an all star, I think nothing would really change since these teams have traveled to play just like the old set up, the only difference is the limited audience compared to the usual (before covid-19).

Just waiting for the game of Magic and Bulls. It will surely be a good game since both of these teams are now playing a good performance and we cannot decide who will win even if we have a 60-52 standing in the side of chicago because 8 win is not much when it comes to probability of betgame. Also on the game between these two from 18-19 season, 19-20 season and 20-21 season orlando managed to defeat chicaco bulls for 4 consecutive games. Orlando magic is really getting stronger maybe because Cole Anthony comes to this team for the first round pick of season 2020. Chicago is still playing with their old players even if they got two new players maybe because these two new player, which is Williams and Simonovic, is still young and not too experienced.

For me it's not fine to just reach the playoffs as they did reach the playoffs already last season, so if we are looking for some big improvement this season, it should be at least reach the ECF or the NBA Finals. Nets are next to the Lakers as the favorites to win a championship this season, that's how people expect them to achieve.

[Inagame]

Kevin Durant will probably miss multiple games for Brooklyn Nets for contact tracing protocols because he was in contact with someone whop tested positive for covid.
Big blow for Nets, they and they are also missing few other players and now they play with Philadelphia 76ers

That's how it should be from the views of the many. 3 well-experienced superstars, the most active in rebuilding this season, people are expecting something big.

Nets seriously do all ways to make that happen. This season should be their championship season. I doubt we will still see the same lineup next season.

for me 2 superstars must submit to the one in the team to co-exist, Kyrie wants to be the leader of the team we see what he did to the Cavs, and what he did like making statements that he wants others to feel that he got always says on everything, this is one of the attitudes that will destroy a superteam, kyrie maybe a superstar but we can see clearly that he can't lead alone, he always need another to accomplish, the task, I like kyrie but he should mature like LeBron.

30 points for Stephen Curry in the first half on 7 of 10 shooting from three point range. Dude is lighting it up right now! This could turn into something special if he can keep it up. Nice to see he’s back to having MVP nights. I missed seeing this kind of shooting last year.

He's still on fire adding 13 points now almost end of  third quarter.

Playing healthy and enjoying, glad to see him to this MVP mode again if only Klay is there to help him up this team might be in good
position, though they are keep on competiting it's far from what they've should be if one of the splash bro is there to help him to lift them up. Enjoy watching Dub Nation.

What a great display of offensive barrage from both teams Mavs and Warriors.
Curry 11/19 at 3 point line and Luka 7/12.
Kleber though is the one who puts the dagger to give Dallas another win with his last-second 3 point shot.

Funny thing is, I bet for other teams but yet I enjoyed watching them more than what I bet for. 
Still, the Mavs is in the 14th spot. They will need more wins in their next matches.

[Oasisman]

It seems like the Lakers have a tough time beating the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers lost their first game and the second one is so close that it went to a double OT. I haven't watched the whole game, but judging how the Lakers struggle to this young team makes me think about the Pistons have a chance to become a stronger team. Jerami Grant will lead this team, and I personally think him (Grant) moving out of Denver is somehow a good move for him to increase his player value.

A good game between these two teams anyway.

At least they did not lose in this game, they bounce back from a big loss in the previous game, so this team for me has improve and have a chance to be in the playoffs. Luka and Curry are always spectacular, it's fun to watch these two playing against each other.

It was a close game, this is the kind of game we want to see from Dallas Mavericks, they are sharing the ball well and they know how to win close games. Oubre Jr. also did not explode again, so good job by them for limiting him, and it resulted  a win, big win to be exact.
