OT: Michael Porter Jr out for season

[Wordbomar]

Oh my....

 

[UCDaveD]

Two-and-done*

 

[husky429]

#1 bagley
#2 doncic
#3 porter jr

???

He could be an absolute STEAL if his stock drops because of this. He has KD potential.

Two-and-done*

lol, he's not staying.

 

[UCDaveD]

lol, he's not staying.

True.

 

[Robertelamin]

There were quite a few people (not here) suggesting he was faking an injury. Guess not!

 

[Walker11]

Sure would have been nice to get paid 3 to 4 million to rehab under the watchful eye of an NBA organization.

This is the most basic of back surgeries but still a cause for concern. Anyone who has ever had a severe herniated disc and read into the process knows there isn't a guaranteed outcome. Steve Kerr had the same procedure, granted, his Dr. screwed up the procedure.

 

[Guapo]

lol, he's not staying.

Oh I thought this was a reference to the two minutes he played this season

 

[Huskyforlife]

That'd be amazing if true.

In any event, sure hope for his sake he got a nice insurance policy

 

[Travelman6]

absolute STEAL

I believe UCLA has that one locked up.

 

[UConnRock]

Will he stay in school and not be an APR hit. Can’t imagine there is much incentive to do school work

I'd be surprised if his dorm room isn't empty and the Jaguar is not in the parking space right now

Yeah with Emeka Okafor spinal column

[superjohn]

Two-and-done*

He'll still be a top 3 pick, he's leaving no matter what.

 

[uconnbill]

No way he comes back next year especially now with the injurer he suffered.

 

[UConnStats]

Love the top comment: “He’ll be a popular 5th-year grad-transfer for sure”

 

[Rocktheworld]

Repairing his lumbar spine? At 18-19? Jeez

Especially for a big man, that’s not good for his longevity. Remember how differently the league viewed Jared Sullinger when it came out he had back issues?

 

[manbyrd]

Man that sucks for Missouri, hopfully they can get some of their money back.

 

[Rocktheworld]

If one and done wasn’t a thing he’d be sitting on a guaranteed lottery level pro contract right now

 

[superjohn]

Just has to wait 8 months for that.
