Did what looked like Lauri did 2 or 3 times to each ankle in my 20s - landed just like that and it ballooned to baseball size and turned purple. They said I tore ligaments each time. Was on crutches for a week or so and then rest. If I remember right, it was about 4 weeks to get back to running. Trusting it after was an issue though, and they told me it was more likely it may happen again as I weakened that area, and they were right. But that was late 80's medicine, and I wasn't getting pro athlete care.

Well that, plus the other three starters are way better than Mark and Ice.

Yeah for sure, but like You can replace Mobley with a PF who has made multiple allstar appearance and has the 16th PER in the league and its not the same because of style and Mobley is that impactful on D

Was that before they invented ice?

Kinda strange how they’re not giving a timeline for Lauri.

I felt like they would hold off from an official team announced timeline for three reasons:

1. It takes time to get the full picture because you have to wait longer than normal for swelling to go down

2. There can be a pretty wide variance in recovery times/ready to go estimates for the type of injury

3. They wan't to minimize any and all trade leverage, real or perceived. Make a team announcement that it will be 8 weeks and other teams may waste hours of your time being extra stingy and acting like the Cavs are coming from a place of desperation. So you just act like it's a week to week thing and he could be one week away from returning at any point(whether true or not).

Whaaaaaat?

They kept Mobley out for ages because he tweaked his elbow, but Lauri's already coming back even though he dented the floor with his ankle bone?

Wow. I guess we really, really, REALLY need shooting.

Or, maybe, you just vastly over-reacted in your own estimation of how severe the injury was when it happened.

It is interesting how if you ask for a report from several different people you’ll get entirely different reports from each one.

For example, my account was that Lauri drilled down 10-12 feet through the floor making a loud kerrrrrrack sound followed by several of the players near him blasting up into the air with their mouths and eyes widened in O’s of horror. Then he heroically pulled himself up through the rubble with a grimace on his face making a loud rrrnnnnngggg sound as the stadium collapsed around him. He then blasted towards the sideline fist first, ankle dangling limply and rescued a screaming Serena Winters before carrying her upwards out of the way of imminent doom.
