kelly's season totally disrupted by that ankle sprain

[DarkAzcura]

I don't think I want anything to do with a player whose season can get "totally disrupted" by an ankle sprain.

Lol.

How can anyone take you seriously when you say things like that.

I don't know -- how can anyone take Kelly Olynyk seriously? It's an injury. You miss time, deal with it, come back, and play. It's called life in pro sports. Maybe you're recovered, maybe you're semi-recovered, maybe you can barely walk and need shots before each game.

Paul Pierce needed to have the elbow of his shooting hand routinely drained one year. Did that "disrupt his entire season"? Please. The teddy bear play area is next door.

Plenty of players have had entire seasons disrupted because of ongoing ankle sprains/issues. Plenty of players on the Celtics have had that issue in the past. Don't pretend like this is an Olynyk exclusive issue. Marcus Smart played well this year, but his offensive potential was stunted throughout his rookie year because of his sprained ankle. Wanna get rid of him too? Al Jefferson had issues with his ankles early in his career.  Stephen Curry dealt with various ankle sprains his first few years in the league. I guess GSW should have gotten rid of him too.

Your entire first paragraph is so odd too. Where is there an Olynyk quote in this thread talking about how his season was disrupted by an ankle injury? Where are these complaints from him? That's the only way your paragraph makes any logical sense.

i meant his stats for season and his ability to play were effected-sprains for a skilled 7 footer severally diminished his game and the lingering side effects took its toll

I have known several people to say that severe sprains are actually more painful than breaks.

clearly dude has never had any ankle issues himself.
