Haliburton on His Return, Preseason Thoughts, and Most Intriguing Players!

Lowecouple other things we should mention

Loweman i don't even know what to say about the clippers at this point like Like, it might be time for Chuck the Condor to fly south for the winter or something, because Brandon Ingram suddenly has got partially torn Achilles.

LoweMax Struess got hurt in preseason. He's going to be out for a while.

LoweIt's just not going well. And obviously, Max Struess is there to get traded eventually, no matter what the Clippers say. So maybe none of this really matters. It's just, I really would like the next Clipper headline to be like Keaton Wagler gets a puppy and look how cute the photo is and not any of this.

LoweAnd then in Philly, really sad one, Ariel Huckporty, who is set to be their third string center and maybe their second string center while Adem Bona is injured right now, short term, but still towards Achilles. I mean, just a brutal, brutal break for a guy looking for an opportunity to get real minutes.

Loweand you know nick nurse came out and said yeah we're gonna just do like backup center by committee bona will get first crack we've got don barlow we got jabari walker you mentioned going small with dean wade or lebron at the five yeah i would be very cautious about doing anything that overtaxes lebron at all in the regular season including guarding fives or acting as the five defensively obviously he can do it he's like guarded yokich in spot minutes

Loweand done fine He can do everything, but that's just a bummer for a team where that position is critical because of how many games Embiid will miss.
