        Fred said he did this just the other day. I think it was after Nurse mentioned that his various injuries were improving.

          Don’t worry. Give him a few weeks to heal and he’ll be in a good place

            Thumb injury happened during the Knick game going for a steal..

            • What i don't get is everyone around the team has been talking about how fred has been banged up all year. Leo mentioned on the broadcast last game he has been dealing with a bad back all season. I'm not sure if he misspoke thinking of lowry of fred does have a bad back. you never really know with leo. But just sit the fucking guy down to heal? like stop rolling him out their if he's dealing with all these injurys. They say freds a competitor and he hates missing time for injury but its not his dam job to decide if he plays. This could have potential been avoided if they were cautious with his health from the get go. All in all tho he hasnt been playing well and this will allow JLIN to get used to our system with lots of time. could end up being a blessing in disguise. It's just frustrating when you compare how the deal with kawhi to lowry and fvv. If were really playing for april and june kyles and fvvs health should be a main priority.

                No amount of rest was gonna prevent a thumb ligament injury.

                I agree about it potentially being a blessing in disguise though... hopefully this can get his body fully right.

                  probably not but when you put a guy out their whose not 100% to play in the top level of competition in the world you arn't doing him any favors. Especially a guy who plays as hard and physical as fred. Who know maybe his back hurts, he trys to drive the lane doesnt have enough lift and get slammed to the ground like he often does landing on his thumb and tearing his ligament. Probaly a freak injury that couldn't be avoided but playing at less then 100% does put you at a higher chance of risking other injurys. Dont like how we treat kyle and fred like demolishion derby cars, while kawhi gets the care of a collector car. We havent even been able to put the throttle down and see what this thing can really do on the highway the entire season cause of those approaches.

                    Underrated point. If it was really "ALL BOUT DA MAY AND JUNE" as Kawhi and the organization have decided was their mantra, you'd see Lowry and others sitting more often. But it's been the opposite with them, they play through perhaps too much. Clearly shows this is a Kawhi camp load management plan, not a Toronto Raptors load management plan

                    • Just trying to keep up here, so check me if I'm wrong:

                      1. We get pissed at Lowry when he plays banged up and shoots 30% from 3
                      2. We get pissed at Fred when he plays banged up and looks like an overpaid role player
                      3. We get pissed at Kawhi when he rests injuries and aims to be healthy for the playoffs

                      Have I got it? Either way, I'm pissed!

                        Dont blame fred and kyle playing on them its on the coaching staff to sit them. I'm not mad at kawhi resting i seem to be in the minority that says appease him and try to get him to stay. I just want consistency. The biggest threat to great teams is health problems. We should be easing on the side of caution with everyone if our goal is the title

                            Nurse said they found a problem with Lowry’s shooting mechanics that they apparently fixed. Everybody immediately makes excuses for Lowry’s poor play using injuries.

                                The fact that nobody is concerned about Fred being hurt is, in itself, speaking volumes. I'm seeing more "blessing in disguise" sentiment. lol.
