2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

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

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

donovan mitchell has looked fairly promising too

Anthony Davis will not return with a left knee injury

lol I made a joke abt that on the way to see anthony davis

Anthony Davis is increasingly durable and any questions about his toughness are problematic

Aaron Gordon looked awesome in preseason and there might be a breakout going on there

just saw the brow play looked like nothing at all

Not sure why people thought Jayson Tatum would be bad on defense

just saw the brow play looked like nothing at all

I really don’t like how nurkic is used in the blazers offense

yah prob a bruise

.@JenHale504 reports Pels indicate Anthony Davis' knee injury might have occurred in pregame warmups. Undergoing an MRI.

They just showed how the Davis knee injury actually happened in game and it looks like a knee sprain to me

oh yeah i saw something else. this is it

Here’s the Anthony Davis knee injury. Definitely stretched ligaments at least pic.twitter.com/JFacO5eJfg
