00:00The Knicks are going to beat the Sixers with or without Joel Embiid.
00:03I just don't know if the Knicks can beat the Pistons without O.G. Ananobi,
00:07and that's the only injury that I'm caring about right now
00:12because there's nobody stopping the Knicks in the East but the Knicks,
00:16and without O.G., they're a completely different team,
00:19and they're not a championship team without them.
00:21And I do feel like we've been here before with injuries that have come up at the wrong time,
00:26he being one of them. Remember that Julius Randle got injured.
00:30I think Josh Hart was injured there for a while.
00:33Jalen Brunson had hurt his wrist at the end of the series.
00:35Yeah, I mean, so this is why these are the wars of the NBA,
00:40and this is how you've got to play through these things.
00:42Now, I don't know if he can or not.
00:43If it's a Luka Doncic grade 2 hamstring injury, we may not see him again.
00:49Yeah, I know. This is why this morning feels weird.
00:52You know, I don't like it at all.
00:53It could be any number of – see, what you said there is what's scaring me the most,
00:58is the fact that there are hamstring injuries that happen to NBA players
01:02that can have them out for weeks, and that's exactly what's going on with Luka Doncic.
01:07And he is someone that obviously is going to want to play in the postseason,
01:12and this isn't a regular season thing where they're taking their time.
01:15He's going to come back as soon as he can, and he hasn't been back.
01:17So, I mean, maybe, just maybe this is such a special year that we get this great news
01:22that, oh, it was just – he was dehydrated, and he's fine, and it was cramping,
01:27and it's nothing – it's no big deal at all, and he's going to be out there on Friday night
01:32doing what he does and logging 38 minutes again.
01:35But it just – I don't believe that's going to be the case.
01:37It's going to be some sort of hamstring pull, unfortunately,
01:40and we're going to see how long he is out.
