    Adding this here lol...I mentioned in the game day threat that if you turned to the game on Prime before it was on it showed players shooting around and walking in to the game, KD was definitely on there. I didn't catch him shooting around (I saw Reed and Sengun mostly) but saw KD walking to the arena in an all black outfit. Saw Sengun too wearing the same outfit he wore at the press conference after the game so it was definitely that day and not ealier footage of KD walking in.

    The fact its removed seems a bit fishy...KD was definitely in the arena before the game and either chose to chill in the locker room or just outright left.

    I think KD could've played but chose not to. If he was truly injured, why receive treatment during the game? Luka and Reaves could've been getting 'treatment' too but they were on the bench.

    Burners and CF posts take time, can’t do that if you’re rooting for your team on the bench

    lol. I’d like to schedule my underwater treadmill treatment for precisely 7pm Central until 10pm. It’s essential that it happens during this time window. The doctor says you heal twice as fast between the hours of 7 and 10.

    Theoretically....

    IF this is all a smokescreen... and Katy has decided to pack it in...

    What are yall b****in about?

    I mean good gawd... this board is constantly railing about the stupidity of Ime and the incompetence of Stone...

    I think we can all agree that we didnt get a superstar outta tanking... and our youngsters are kinda stupid tbh...

    additionally, despite his numbers throughout the season, we still got guys ranting about how detrimental KD is to the team - heaven forbid he's taking shots away from precious reed... lol!

    So why shouldnt KD get shut down for the season?

    I mean... most everybody on this board has been saying that we had no shot...

    Stone didnt think it 'was our year' and didnt go get us a pg...

    IF KD stepped aside so the kids could get maximum playoff experience... isnt THAT what y'all wanted?

    Ok, he’s getting 30 millions dollars to put a ball through the hoop. If he isn’t going to play he can at least sit on the bench.

    Katie may not see it as a job, but jobs have requirements and professionalism standards

    Looks like he has an e-stim device or something on his ankle.

    Yep, no idea what it was.

    G4 was 48 hrs later. He wasn’t going to be at the arena for 48 hrs, so it’s not completely BS that he’s using an underwater treadmill. More movement helps speed up recovery, at least based on my understanding of ankle sprains and my own experience.

    i’m guessing he packed it in before game 1

    because he didn’t want to get swept by his former team next round
