i'm confident

The Bulls have said Mirotic can’t have surgery to repair his two facial fractures from Bobby Portis’ punch in practice until his concussion symptoms subside. Asked if Mirotic remains in the league’s concussion protocol, Hoiberg said, “I believe he is.”

It seemed telling that Hoiberg said Mirotic has visited the Advocate Center since the Oct. 17 altercation but didn’t talk to the team.

“It was actually off hours,” Hoiberg said.

When Portis publicly apologized Saturday, he said Mirotic hadn’t responded to his calls or texts. Though the team has made clear Mirotic also acted as an aggressor leading up to Portis’ punch, Mirotic remains extremely upset that he’s sidelined four to six weeks.

“It was unfortunate,” said Zach LaVine, who also texted Mirotic with no response. “That’s what happens when two players are battling, I guess. I don’t think either of them was in the wrong. It was just something that happened, an altercation.

“Men are men sometimes. We never should have that happen, but I think we’ve moved past it. Bobby’s in a good spot. We’ve all tried to contact Niko. I think we’ll all be able to move forward.”

how has no one been able to contact him haah

hes mad lol

i know and all that despite the Bulls making it clear that it was also his fault

can't believe he's still sore (oops sorry)

heh

"Bobby’s in a good spot"

ok

Boys will be boys no one did anything wrong

when all the players are publicly toeing the both were at fault line it makes it seem like mirotic was prob asking for it, he said some shit

Agent to ESPN: Markelle Fultz had fluid drained from shoulder, "literally cannot raise up arms to shoot"

definitely keep running this guy out there every day

seems like maybe he should not be playing

bobbys a nice guy he was just practically contractually bound to break yr face there, no one wanted it to happen

shooting is an important part of basketball imo

i googled "bad shooting form nba lead to injuries" (no quotes) and the first five results are Fultz stories

I think the agent making public injury excuses for his client shooting like he’s had a lobotomy is not a good sign

I don’t really question the sixers training staff. Embiid was an obvious injury case when they picked him, Simmons injured his foot before training camp right?

This situation is so bonkers. You don’t spend months changing your shooting form to compensate for a shoulder injury unless it’s some massive permanent thing.

detroit crowd's lookin' a little light tonight

Pistons home games are already attendance disasters: https://t.co/bS8vzdkOr9 pic.twitter.com/YDz0vtyECt

sad

best thing about the the portis/nikko incident is that we dont have to watch either of them play and instead get to watch 30 minutes per game of Markkanen

Markkanen....

Deangelo is gonna be an all star this year

dang what did we do to deserve another nets/magic game so soon

Feel dumb for not picking deangelo for MIP. Unless I did

LAURI

cavs having a little trouble with the bulls. its fine. this is normal

gonna be hard to judge the cavs at all til IT gets integrated.

guys i'm going to the blazer game tonight with the sole purpose of yelling "BROW HELLO FROM ILH" at anthony davis' face wish me luck

may you have good luck trebled, clay

Good luck may ilh be with you

this game answering my question about whether tatum can actually shoot the 3

they should replace every remaining game this season with nets/magic

FP'd you for that

This was a really good draft y’all

Man how do you even have fluid in your shoulder??

all those years of throwing down cold ones, one or two is bound to get lodged somewhere in your skeleton

Pacers playing w much ... pace

aaron gordon w/ 41-14

just finished c's/knicks on delay, my god the knicks suck but brown and tatum are amazing, two young hungry long athletic dudes going for blocks and dunks and steals all over the place.

celtics are pretty transformed from last year, much longer and more physical. they're top 10 in defensive reb % so far after finishing #28 last year.

Man how do you even have fluid in your shoulder??

The agent for Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz changed his explanation Tuesday night on the treatment the No. 1 overall pick has received on his right shoulder, revising his earlier statement that fluid was drained from it during the preseason.

"He had a cortisone shot on Oct. 5, which means fluid was put into his shoulder -- not taken out," agent Raymond Brothers told ESPN on Tuesday night. "My intention earlier was to let people know that he's been experiencing discomfort. We will continue to work with (Sixers general manager) Bryan Colangelo and the medical staff."

i dunno about you guys but i constantly have fluid entering and exiting my shoulder, its normal

"He had a cortisone shot on Oct. 5, which means fluid was put into his shoulder -- not taken out,"

that might be the most insane agent comment in a long line of insane agent comments

I am a shoulder fluid truther
