Well, worse case scenario there's always the Wembanyama lottery
Otto , Boucher and Precious time . I think they will all be able to step up in place
This rest period for Fred and Pascal is a good evaluation for guys who say they want the "ball more" more touches,let's see what they with this time ⏲️ to prove themselves no Pascal or Fred as a shield to buffer their bad offensive decision-making #letussee.
i really think nurse needs to give flynn some more minutes, he's shown potential but he's not getting enough time to properly prove himself
Nurse has the guys he trusts and that's it. It's not easy to get into his rotation.
Scottie All star season
Good opportunity for OG and Barnes to really elevate their games over this stretch. Nurse definitely deserves some blame here. I'm sure heavy minutes are contributing some to these injuries because players are tired and their postures are not as good.
Lol all the trade Fred commenters are real quiet right now 🤣…. Fred carried this team when Siakim was injured last year
Again why didn’t we give jalen harris an opportunity to make the team he’s exactly what we need right now someone who can create their own shots and handle the ball 🤔
Nick Nurse play the starters too many minutes, like this all of them will be injured if we make the playoffs, like last season.
DeMar DeRozan suffered a similar injury about six years ago, and it took him over a month to return.
Pascal's injury was a freak accident, slipping on wet spot, but Nurse does need to dial back those minutes. It's no coincidence that we have had key starters unavailable for playoffs each of the last 3 years. This year's bench is much better than last yr too. It's also coaches job to find rotations and schemes that work with bench players. Any coach can do well playing their stars 45 mins a game.
Hope Pascal is ok and heals in good time!
I got my bid in for Boucher though on the fantasy hoops waiver wire!
Og, boucher, Scottie, precious, gtj all just got more shots for better development and raise the teams level at the end of the year …….. when things really matter and we’re locked in on the deep playoff run, there is no other goal…………..
Not easy missing a walking triple double. Hope for a full recovery.

Every team plays the stars look how many mins Luka gets every year
And pascal slipped on a wet floor had nothing to do with nick nurse
One thing I am confident about this team that’s battling “adversity”. Raps, NN and our boys will be fine! Great opportunity for other guys to show who they’re
Banton is absolutely horrible only reason he's even in the nba is because he's on the raptors and he's canadian. Smfh
Nick has also to give more time to Thad, Otto, Bo. Chris .
Scottie is not 100%, his ankle is bothering him. Another injury or two and it’s Brick for Vic.
Malachi Flynn needs to play. Banton just isn’t that good, dude is a turnover machine with the ball in his hands plus Malachi can SCORE something Banton can’t do.
Wait, wait, wait!!! Did this man really say Flynn is chilling in the Nick Nursery at 3:56 😂😂
Too bad but Spicy P needs to rehab and get better. As Chris Boucher said no one player will be able to replace Pascal, but the rest of them just need to step up. Great opportunity for them to show up.
Raps fans are so obsessed with playing time that Leaf fans are starting to do the same thing now
at least we got passed the hardest stretch of the season
I’ve been watching basketball since 91 and basketball players have always played heavy minutes and 82 games!! It’s only the last 10 years that load management has been a thing!!! You so called fans blaming NN for these injuries is ridiculous!! Players are softer now, and don’t put the work in to play 82 games. This is the evidence over the past thirty years. And I’ve seen it. So shut you mouths about overplaying these soft players.
Well look on the bright side. At least it's not a month.
If Pascal doesn’t play big minutes he doesn’t get his points etc
What do y’all want?
It’s time for GTJ to step up his game and give Flynn 18 minutes for gods sakes with these new injuries.
