    Fractured heart. Up to 4 months of recovery expected.

    What is wrong with you? Why do you hate on someone who got hurt. How many players are going to come out of close game when you are their best player.

    I do hope hes okay.

    He is special. That 3rd quarter was amazing and the dude is a fighter.

    Get healthy rook, your time is coming but these rockets time is now!

    Never want to see anyone get hurt. Dude has so much heart. He looks like he will be scary good in the future.

    Gotta give props where it’s due.

    Really hope it's not an achilles, but it didn't look good...

    Again didn’t see anything on replay that’s 4 times the show it and nothing. Hardens knee moved out of the way and he didn’t twist his ankles.

    Hope he is ok! I never want to see a player go down like that. He has a bright future. Next season that guy will be running for MVP. He has a bright future ahead. He needs to keep his head down and his mouth shut.

    Probably just a bone bruise or something, didn’t look that bad and he did come back out on his own.

    I don’t really care one way or the other.

    He has 4 months to get better.

    Maybe he and Jimmy Butler can rehab together and talk about next year.

    It looked to me like maybe he hit the funny bone of the knee? And it bruised his nerve?

    That is what I am hoping for...

    Great player. I liked him a lot until this series.

    Now he's just a dick with a limp.

    I think it’s a meniscus injury he’ll be back.

    Why were the camera guys looking at his ankle when Donovan came back to the bench?

    He’s not walking on his own if that was an Achilles injury.

    Just a pride injury where you bump knees and need to remove your shoe.

    All im saying is I dont think enough happened to warrant a locker room visit and a clear exaggerated limp into and out of the arena and a flip flop
