Zion had Knee surgery out 6-8 weeks

[Dwight Howard]

I hear you, but they also said they're not sure what caused the injury though. So how could his weight/explosion be ruled out?

I dont know. That's my whole point, none of us do. But you had clowns like @Gil Scott-Heroin running around parroting the narrative that Zion absolutely needed to lose weight with no firsthand knowledge of the situation.

Good thing he didn't come to the Knicks.

Greg Oden part two!

We would be jumping from the upper deck, goodbye cruel world.

 

[Sccit]

yes that timeline means they removed it, Rose removed it very later on if I am correct and not the first time

THE TWEET SAYS REPAIRED, NOT REMOVED

Yeah, they almost never completely remove a meniscus nowadays, they snipped the damage piece off. Hopefully, the tear wasn't crazy bad.

EVERY1 IN THIS THREAD TOOK THAT FIRST POST BY @CHICAGO AS FACT INSTEAD OF READING THE ACTUAL TWEET.

Lemme get the lottery numbers since you can predict the future.

 

[Bennett80]

What is so outrageous about my comment? He missed time in college and is already injured in pre-season (where they take it easy in games). As already mentioned in this thread, there are too many negatives for him to last a full season or even 3/4.

 

[get these nets]

Zion will return at under 270 lb playing weight.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I dont see what's difficult to believe about this. Smaller players have knee issues all the time. Steph, D'Lo, Lonzo, etc in the last 2 seasons alone. People jumped to the weight narrative as gospel with zero facts or firsthand knowledge of Zion's medical records to substantiate that claim. It's a myth until proven otherwise as far as I'm concerned.

I dont know. That's my whole point, none of us do. But you had clowns like @Gil Scott-Heroin running around parroting the narrative that Zion absolutely needed to lose weight with no firsthand knowledge of the situation.

I have a bridge to sell you.



There's no logical reason why you're this naive. Do better, bro.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

So the doctors believe his injury history is not weight related?? So if he was 225 he'd still be having the same knee issues??

Then Gentry goes out and says it happened in a game on Sunday, when Zion told them it felt tight in a game Wednesday. Why would Gentry make that statement??

David Griffin shootaround sound - Pelicans at Raptors, October 22, 2019 | New Orleans Pelicans

Shams paraphrased what Griffin said in a deceiving manner.

Griffin said that they're "still learning" to understand Zion's body, and that it is not related to a lack of conditioning or being out of shape - he didn't say that it wasn't weight-related.

"He gains muscle mass so fast, and gains weight so fast, no one has ever dealt with anybody like him before. He's only 19, it's going to be a learning experience for all of us. But the notion this happened because Zion is in poor condition is just asinine..."
