The video is on line. Looks to me like the Delpo injury at Queens; it looks like very little happened.
Then he walks out of the Arena wearing a full boot, so I don't think he is faking it. Why would he, anyway?
I have nothing against KD, I have nothing against him. He is, indeed, an incredible player and the accolades are earned. But he also has a ton of bad luck regarding injuries.

You're correct. It doesn't look like anything but ya never know. The fact that he said it was "sore" is what made me wonder. This is only a 9 second clip. The other clip was 10 seconds. In the comments they're saying he practiced for ten more minutes after this so...

I hope he takes the counseling seriously. I know that the NBA does orientation programs for players when they enter the pros but in a case like this where there seem to have been previous untreated mental health issues I wonder how far they go?

I hope it will be possible to be done concurrently with him playing. But, get better first.

Not sure about the nature of the counseling. I wouldn't assume it's mental health.

ESPN Sources: Grizzlies star Ja Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York today. Morant has left a counseling program in Florida and moves closer to ramping up for return to season now. He must wait on league announcement of findings in probe, expected soon.

Too much. No charges have been pressed. No offenses committed. Consenting adults at a closed location. And a first time "offender".

Oh please, this is fine and plenty warranted. He's lucky it's not more. If you're thinking it's too much, it makes me think you've skipped a few chapters of this book.

No. I have been following this. If it is for the accumulated issues like the alleged punching the kid, and the laser beam, then I can re-think.
If it was only for the IG video, I say too much.
Anyway, you know my position. The leagues are acting like some sort of moral majority court, and I disagree on that. The leagues are professional entertaining enterprises. If you break the law, let the law nail you. Not the company you work for.

Expand, please.
Is there no conflict of interest for the Hawks owner?
