Well, I guess we'll see what the "others" can do once again.

Sounds like he is out for HOU game. Personally, I thought he came back a little too early last time out so I am not surprised with this new injury. Luka has moved around gingerly in the past few games too. I know Luka is the ultimate competitor but playing hurt is just stupid. 

With how they have also handled KP's b2b's this season, I am highly disappointed in the Mavs' training staff this season.

It is just overwhelming how anonymous internet commentators know more than the player involved and whole Dallas staff. We really need to implement downvote buttons on the forum...

Ugh. Not only is this of some long-term concern, and not only does it mean we probably lose to the team I hate the most, but it means we likely don't make any trades for the next few days. I am still pretty strong that it's a major TDL fail for the Mavs not to use both of the Lee contract and TPE as tools (with sweeteners thrown in) to bring back assets, and that almost certainly requires two trades - one some time before the deadline, and one on the deadline day.

[Thukydides]

Really not good. He should get in touch with Curry ASAP. Read about the rigorous core strengthening regime Steph used to get rid of this stuff (and he still rolled his ankle again a few times). Very concerning and clearly the Mavs should give him all the time in the world to get his body ready to cope with the heavy load he is shouldering right now. Don´t care about this year´s playoffs. Give Luka time to heal and to work on his body.

we need a new ankle taping coach

I would like to know whose foot he stepped on (that's almost always how these injuries happen). If it was WCS, he'll never get out of RC's doghouse. Just a little levity for a bad situation...

This seems like it could be bad

This seems like it could be bad

Yeah I also don´t like the smell of that... 

Here´s the Curry story I refered to. An excellent read!

At least that should prevent the Mavs from doing something dumb like trading for Iggy.

If the Grizzlies keep it up and Nurkic gets the Blazers on a roll. Tankathon my friend.

Time for KP to step it up.

[mtrot]

Time for JJB to step it up.

[MrGoat]

Time to give WCS and Maxi more minutes, I don't want KP missing another 10 games with knee soreness right after being leaned on more heavily with Luka out again
