LeBron first to 50k points | Kyrie out for the season

They called it a knee sprain, and you could tell right away. It's like, it's probably something worse than a knee sprain. medical imaging, confirmed torn ACL. I think the outlook for this team is when they made the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade, Nico Harrison went on the record and says, look, we've got a three to four year window.

LeBron first to 50k points | Kyrie out for the season

I don't care about 10 years from now, but we've got three to four years here to contend. And Kyrie Irving's left knee injury not only erases one of those years, it likely erases two of those years from that contention window. You know, this is something that's likely going to impact him into next season if we're talking about a nine to 12 month recovery timeline.

There's not a good pivot move forward. I mean, it's just go with what you got and try to get the 10 seed. I mean, they got a three and a half game lead over the Suns. I mean, it's a pretty big lead of 20 games to play, but I mean, I could definitely see them getting past at this point. There's just not really any hope for them in the postseason.

I mean, you know, I think one of the obvious effects of the Luka Doncic trade was this puts an enormous creation load on Kyrie Irving, who's going to turn 33 years old later this month. You know, I think... It's just a lot of responsibility on the court. But I think the other factor was it's a lot of wear and tear on his body too.

I mean, you know, he's averaging 39 minutes per game in his 10 games before he got hurt. I mean, that's just a huge workload on a guy who's, I mean, obviously a brilliant basketball player, but has not been the most durable guy in his career. He's not the biggest guy either. I mean, Luca was just a tank. Luca was a workhorse.

I mean, you could just give him the ball, so many possessions and count on him for 70 games every year. And it's like, he's going to be good just because he was so big. I mean, he's built like an SEC tight end. Like Kyrie is not built like that. You know, he's just not been as durable in his career. And I mean, this was beyond unfortunate.
