Some guys are too small for basketball,
Some are just too big for it.

Smits, Yao, Sabas, Samson...now KP

All of these guys were extremely skilled, not relying on brute force and contact like say Shaq or and still, injuries sapped their careers.

These types of injuries just make me appreciate Kareem's career even more. At that height, his longevity, production and age and era is insane.

I hope Kristaps bounces back and has a long career.
Markkanen, one of my favorite new players, he is Dirks height, he will have a long career.

Gotta agree with what some others have said - Kristaps is likely a victim of being too tall

This is the fourth team LeBron player to get injuried. It is like the Madden curse. Pray for Kyrie!

This absolutely sucks to see happen.  Too many injuries across all sports this season.  I hope this ends up being nothing more than a fluke year in that regard.

Awful news.   Hasn't been a good couple of weeks for the NBA with these injuries.

Never good for the game when stars go down.
