[PleezeBelieve]

Left knee

[PleezeBelieve]

Non contact injury

[Budadiiii]

Fragile..

[Budadiiii]

Acl?

[Jameerthefear]

Does it look bad? Stop celebrating you dumbass.

[RedBlackAttack]

He put weight on it as he was walking off the court, but still didn't look very good. :(

PB, you've gotten pretty despicable over the last month or so. I used to semi-defend you on here.

EDIT: He's back on the floor.

[Uncle Drew]

He's back, smiling.

:hammertime: :dancin :banana: :party: :djparty :yaohappy: :basketball

[Jameerthefear]

Yeah he's back.

[PleezeBelieve]

He's back on the bench.

Oh well

[RedBlackAttack]

Fragile..
He's back.

Aren't you a Westbrook guy? I think you'd trade all of Kyrie's minor injuries over the years to not have to deal with his very serious, recurring knee problems, no?

[KG215]

He's back on the bench.

Oh well
You really are a f***ing pathetic piece of shit.

Kyrie is fragile. And no, I wouldn't.. at age 21 WB hadn't missed a game in his entire life and by age 23 he was in the NBA finals dropping 43 points on 70%.

Kyrie will never be in the same ballpark as Russell Westbrook. Ever.

Kyrie gets dinged up more than anyone. Dude will have an injury riddled career.

WB will be back competing in the playoffs, playing for a championship, like a superstar should be.

I have a hard time believing Kyrie will ever be able to do that

Funny how a year changes everything. You'd be laughed out the place if you made this statement this time last year and quite frankly, I still think it's ludicrous. Kyrie absolutely can be better than Westbrook. :roll:

Funny you mention that..

Just one example but I've always said it. You're a damn moron if you think you would rather have Kyrie than Westbrook. It's ****ing foolish and near sited.

Westbrook is going to be coming off two knee surgeries.

Irving's injuries have been on foot, face, shoulder assuming that this knee thing is non-issue. Those are all freak accidents. Facial fracture, turf toe, torn shoulder.

Scanned the first 3 pages and most if not all said Irving, so I was right?

Also, the idea that Westbrook is a safe choice or not injury prone after not missing any games since highschool seems logical and rational until you realize he's beginning to show very real signs of having major injury concerns. The past means nothing whatsoever. Deal with what's happening now.

That's fair enough.

Again, if people want to over react about a non-issue, then so be it.

Westbrook is a different breed of human. How many times I gotta say it? He'll be fine. :oldlol:

That's what I thought, too and I really hope it's the case. Westbrook is way too much of a beast to not live out his prime athletic years.

[RedBlackAttack]

Anyone calling WB's injury a "non-issue" either has never played basketball in their life or is lying to themselves. Maybe he makes a complete recovery and returns to All-Star form, playing out his career with no further issues.

But, it's very worrisome when a guy suffers a major knee injury which ends his season and then, weeks after returning to the court the next year, is put back on the shelf due to swelling on the same knee... which now requires a scope.

I hope Russ gets back on the floor ASAP, because it's bad for the league and, as someone who prefers the Heat not win another championship, bad for my rooting interests... but it has become a serious concern.

Far, far more concerning than all of Irving's injuries combined and multiplied by two.

I prefer Westbrook to Kyrie to be honest. He seems that he gives it all to win, like those old school players from the 90's...

[crunk-juice]

OP should be banned. I mean come on. he's so deep in the red he could bathe in red squares, and he makes unimaginably horrible threads/posts

You should have seen the title to this thread before I altered it. He was openly celebrating the injury... a supposed Cavs fan.

Despicable.

I understand you want attention, but there's always a line.

[FatComputerNerd]

Reports have been surfacing that he "might have" torn his ACl.

Apparently he's having an MRI done today

[#number6ix#]

I got a bad feeling that he tore his acl... After the game he said he felt a pop...remember when rondo tore his and finished the game this might be a similar situation

[Haks]

no no hopefully no torn acl for kyrie pls no @god

[Kblaze8855]

Im not sure if its because information wasnt as easily availiable or what but it feels like people didnt get hurt at this rate back in the day....

I suspect they did. I just dont remember it being so bad....

I hope hes ok. We dont need another one.

Edit...

Now that I think about it Tim Hardaway, Mark Price, Kevin Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and Rod Strickland all got hurt around the same time in the early 90s.

[Uncle Drew]

Woj:
The MRI on Kyrie Irving's left knee is considered precautionary, league sources tell Yahoo. No damage expected to be found."

[RedBlackAttack]

MRI report is finally in.

It's just a contusion.

Scary moment but I'll be good, thanks for everyone's support and concern.

Thank god!

[bigt]

Good news, I want to see Kyrie find his form again and continue to improve, last thing he needs is another injury
