Yes you can imagine the strain on the lower body. Many people are saying the same.

Zion is 'thicker' than most BB players, but why does he have more frequent injuries than a similar sized athletes from other sports (ie: NFL)? IMO, he doesn't do what needs to be done to prepare his body. He is around 300 lbs, and could certainly drop 20 lbs just by reducing his body fat % to a healthier level.

He has lost weight before and worked with a nutritionist but it's obviously a struggle for him.

If the Nuggets plays well, the Lakers have little to no chance. The Nuggets are simply the better team.

Clippers destroying the Mavs right now, without Leonard. Doesn’t look good for the Mavs.

That Lakers loss has to be deflating after having a 20 point lead in the second half. Denver beaten the Lakers ten straight times now ! Cleveland looks too good for Orlando. Knicks well positioned to see off the 76ers.

Looks like a sweep coming up for Denver.

Nice win for Orlando. They needed that after two losses. Still scratching my head over the Celtics losing to Miami without Jimmy Butler ................

Knicks missed a golden opportunity tonight.

Cavaliers won a crucial game 5 against the Magic.

Bucks season could be over tonight. Who would have thought of that earlier this season?

Out west, the winner of the Nuggets Timberwolves series could be the nba champion this season. That should be a really good series.

If the Knicks miss out again expect an epic Stephen A Smith rant..............Maxey saved the 76ers temporarily.

Two more fall. Bucks and 76ers go out Another 40 point game from Brunson while Indiana's seasonal record against the Bucks continued in the playoffs.

I was just watching the highlight real from Clarks first WNBA game and my first two thoughts were: WOW she didn't even need a transition period, and WOW it will seem like a long season coming just a month after the end of her NCAA season (plus all of the draft/media 'stuff' inbetween).

Harden disappearing in latter games of a series as usual. Paul George very inconsistent. Westbrook had a horrible series for a role player. Oh and Kawhi is maybe the most unreliable star in the league, missed 3/5 games and was horrible when he played due to injury, and he got a new contract a couple of months ago. Anyways glad Harden got eliminated in first round after quitting on Sixers.

Oh and massive fail by Orlando yesterday. Largest lead blown in a game 7 I believe. Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs were horrible.

Both teams were very disappointing especially the Clippers. Kawhi is never fit at the right time and the other two are always unreliable in the playoffs especially Harden.

Nice win for the Timberwolves. should be a very interesting series. Denver will need a healthy Murray by the looks of it otherwise it will be a struggle.

Tonight is a must win for the Nuggets. I just heard a stat today that teams that go down 0-2 end up losing the series 93% of the time.

Definitely their backs are against the wall. And if you go by that "93%" stat I referenced, then it's probably over for the Nuggets.
