Do Not Sell My Personal Information

God forbid people be concerned about a human beings health.

Edit: and if our organization wver does anything so reckless, i'll be right here. It's interesting about Barnes, and that Curry had the same contusion. Basketball isn't more important than a guys life. We made Kyrie sit out multiple games for tendenitous, very different approaches.

We also made Kyrie sit out games because of a concussion as well. It just wasn't from this season.

Regular season games though. I get the Warriors thinking, I just find it gross. And how is this not a big story? Delly being dragged to the ground was news for days, this is a press release.
 
Even with bias, I bet almost everyone, myself included, would be irate if a player on this squad was put back into a game where the outcome was all but decided after suffering a series head injury. The Warriors? They did it 2 games in a row with their 2 stars. That to me, shows more about that organization than any blowout win could. I know the doctors work for them but you took an oath, health must come first.

Hell, I would be upset if it looks as if James was whoozy and dizzy and they let him back in in a finals game. Plus, I think it helps with a divide amongst the brass and the players.

As someone who had a concussion within last 6 months symptoms can definately linger for several weeks.

Yep. He could miss the finals completely.

He needs to take it seriously. You really don't want to mess with your head.
 
When the shoe was on the other foot w/ the Browns, I remember most fans being critical of the organization. But, sure, homerism.

while this clearly could benefit the cavs if klay doesnt play. you know who this really benefits the most? Klay. the how purpose of this is to protect the player. I mean for fucks sake how many football players have ended up killing themselves over lost of functionality because of multi head injuries. concussions are not something to fuck with

In fairness, Klay could also kill himself, because the Warriors failed in their best chance for a title, because he couldn't play in The Finals. So you have to strike a balance...

I'm not a team physician or neurologist, so I don't know what the concussion protocol consists of... A combination of objective and subjective metrics, I suppose. For his own sake I hope I'm wrong, but wouldn't be unimaginable to think Klay might downplay "minor" lingering symptoms (slight headache, ear ringing, brain "zaps", dizzy spells) to gain clearance for the Finals.
 
I will be shocked, SHOCKED, if Klay doesn't play in game one.

He'll play. He could never live with himself missing the Finals.

For his sake, hopefully it's not a more serious thing where he and the GS medical staff are forcing the issue.

Literally everyone will be. He's going to have a week off before game 1 to get right. Unless it's serious. It wouldn't be unprecedented for him to miss more time, but I don't think it's likely.

It's that two games in a row, they have done the same thing with two players, when both games were basically in hand. Is Curry gettijg checked? I would be.
