NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If it's any consolation, De'Aaron is by far the best player to suffer a Grade 3 sprain as far as that list is concerned.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just think how rested our stars will be for the playoff drive

The thing is that Vlade acquired all these role player vet pieces this offseason precisely so we could weather these sorts of storms as opposed to last season when we immediately sucked the second Marvin would go down with an injury.

I'm a big proponent of Bogi and am super excited to see him shine as the starting pg. We are not going to be bad. Maybe the starting unit will be better. /dodge

I don't know about better but that second unit performance against the Hawks gives me the confidence that we'll at least be watchable until Fox and Bagley get back

 

[KingsFanSince85]

I wonder if the injury qualifies for the same ‘tightrope’ procedure Tua Tagovailoa recently had or whether the KINGS and De’Aaron would be willing to ok it. Tua was back playing after something like 20 days.

I contend this kind of thing rarely, if ever, happens to the teams and players I hate. So maddening.

 

[jellyfish]

You're a really unhappy fish.

We should have thrown a near max to Brogdan because we knew Fox and Bagley would get hurt? Besides, name a time when any top free agent chose Sac, no matter how much money we threw at them. This is just a set of unfortunate circumstances. The Kings are not the only team to be hit with the injury bug. We're just currently the whiniest fan base.

No because I thought he would be better than every single player on the squad and he could in case Fox gets banged (since Brogdan is equally good at both PG/SG) up fill in and play as a near elite level PG. Also he was not a top free agent at the time it only seems like it now cause he's beasting, most on here were saying he's nothing but a role player who can't play as a PG and is not as good as Buddy..

I even made the thread Malcolm Brogdan is the One (had to make a new account the other one was just insanely laggy for some reason)

 

[TaxMan]

Ugh. This is going to be a long month without both fox and Bagley. I was just getting over the niners loss, thinking about how a win tomorrow gets us up to 4-6 and starting to be in sniffing distance of 500. We have all been through a lot with this team, but I can’t ever remember feeling more brutalized from a start of a kings season than I do this year.

 

[NewArena]

OMG. Dude...he's not dead.

Our season is

I just hate how this organization flat out lies or plays coy when it comes to injuries. And in my defense, the injury was JUST announced.

Of course I’m going to react based on emotion for a quick second. Obviously I’m gonna watch the very next game and root for these people. If i was gonna give up on this frustrating team, i would’ve done it a decade ago lol

 

[NewArena]

I’m just so tired of saying “next year, next year”

Just ew

What leads you to believe they are lying about anything?

I don’t now, but i misinterpreted the initial news so that’s my faults The Giles mess for one, but i thought they were projecting that he’d be out 3 weeks even after announcing the type of injury this is

 

[Gliesian]

What leads you to believe they are lying about anything?

I saw the play. It buckled his knee and he grabbed it in pain. I believe what my eyes tell me and I call BS on it.

But his return and Bogdan getting a bigger role will definitely keep me glued to the games. I dont think the season is over by a long shot. Look at the Suns!

 

[bubulina]

Hope is always the last one to die... I'll keep watching and cheering for the rest of the team. I think even without Fox, this team is capable of 50/50 basketball. With him and Bagley we are a playoff team. I'll keep believing in that rather than throwing the towel.

I’ll keep believing that too. Was just emotional

I can always watch the games as long as we aren't getting blown out or giving up huge leads in the 2nd half.

Really as long as the dudes still up and healthy are playing hard and doing their best, I can watch the games in good conscience.

Anything would be better than those first three games.

Giving up huge leads works for me. That would mean we built a huge lead in the first place.

 

[dude12]

Bogi with Hield starting
Cojo and Yogi off bench with Justin James getting some minutes with either
Time to give the kid a little run and see what he’s got. If they don’t want to do that then bring up Guy or Ulis...obvious Ulis has experience but at this point, playoffs are not in the cards without both Fox and Bagley so give the young guys some run

 

[ppine]

A grade III sprain is not good. The ligaments get really stretched. My ankle was black and blue and yellow after 3-4 weeks. It takes time to rehab.

The Kings with Bagley and Fox and the wrong attitude, are not as competitive as the playing without them and the right attitude.
It is a team game. They need to play like it. Now Bogdan gets to show his stuff. I miss Yogi. James is better than people think.

 

[jcassio]

Fox getting hurt is bad news to be sure. And if some Kingsfans need to take a break or go find another team to root for, go for it. Please.
But this injury brings with it an opportunity:
1. It's an opportunity for Yogi to show that he can step up like Bobby Jackson did when Bibby got hurt. Yogi's not BJ, so save the cheap one liners. But Yogi, like BJ at that time, needs to be given an opportunity to show what he's capable of.
2. It's an opportunity for the whole team to step up their games and find a winning identity.
Imagine Yogi becoming a valuable piece of a winning Kings team. Bags and Giles back and doing their thing at new levels. Then Fox returns, fresh.

Well, let's look at the bright side folks!

At least we have our own 1st round Lottery pick this year!

 

[rosa u podne]

I am really curious about the starting lineup and game plan tonight.

 

[Kingster]

I'm curious what the record is going to be at season end. Any guesses?

FIFTY WINS!!!

 

[clawdog19]

This is clearly not good for Fox. 3-4 weeks until he is reevaluated. I assume he will be out until February. Hopefully sooner, but for now, let's assume February. He's struggled early on this year so it's like we're losing 28/10 out the gate. His turnovers are up, fg% down, other stats are pretty flat.

As good as he can be, he can be a lot better. Time for someone to setup up. Cautiously optimistic that we will be just fine.

 

[burekijogurt]

Since its Lillard tonight I think CoJo will start.

 

[Sam0ah]

I know it! To me it makes more sense to start Bogi and Cory. Which makes Buddy the 6th man.

 

[Kingster]

Well, of course. Coming from someone with such a nom de guerre, I would expect nothing else!

I'm assuming he's out until March. Feb 8 is the 33 game mark, which someone said was the average time out for this length of injury. I'd rather not have my expectations getting destroyed again.

It may not start like that, but my guess it probably ends like that.
