    Surprised that would even bother him considering he's a gay emo boy.

    He’s playing.

    Deep glute contusion

    Slight asss muscle / bone bruise.

    Icy hot and some ibuprofen and he’s 85% good for game 3. He may not play well but he will play .

    It takes 4-6 weeks to heal. He will not be himself if he plays.

    he has a ****ing muscle bruise (on the* area intended to take impact) without any MRI findings indicating inflammation/structural damage.

    I called it when he went out they were going to blow this up like crazy.

    All this showed is is the majority of warrior fanbase don't actually play basketball. My entire feed is full of Amen Thompson clipping him on purpose etc blah blah rockets are dirty

    Warriors are going to milk this **** to get whistles

    He will play. They are just being over dramatic and possibly trying to gain an advantage by calling him questionable

    Any deep contusion to a tissue requires rest. He was already nursing an injury

    Ya 100% chance he's playing, it's barely an injury, purely theatrics and typical warriors BS.

    Golden State is desperate, he will definitely give it a go.

    Is this a real injury? How long do these usually keep players out?

    De'Aaron Fox had one that kept him out for three games earlier this year. Danillo Galinari had one that kept him out 25 games back in 2017.

    The diagnosis suggests Jimmy could actually miss time, but I would prepare as if he will not.
