How bad is DJ? Got to have him on the floor.

When will Jodie return?

What happened to Perry that kept him down for five minutes?

Thanks!

DJ has a sprained MCL.

Jodie's status hasn't been updated, although I have to think not playing today helps

Perry appeared to have been hit in the groin.

So how bad is a sprained MCL? Obviously better than torn, but is this another set back of multiple weeks for him?

We are a different team when Jasper is on the court. He's also seems to be the only one who can throw that over the top pass to PatPat correctly.

A sprained MCL can be like an ankle sprain....some are very bad and slow to heal; others take only a week or so to heal. I'd think he will be out for at least a week or so; possibly longer.

As tough as Jasper is, I expect him back in about a week and a half. I had some torn knee cart. and and strained MCL a couple years ago. I could play but not run and cut hard, or jump as high. It was painful for the first few days just to walk. DJ again has a lot more incentive and toughness, no doubt.

Get well soon DJ. Hopefully Meeks and Stevenson will play next game.

I agree. we are a better team with Jasper on the floor. Keep in mind that we have yet to see him at 100% this season and we can be an even better team when/if that happens.

I still wish he would look for his shot a little more. I loved the recent 3's he's made, but would also like to see him look at sticking some of his offensive rebounds back in the basket.

I, also, like the 3's. They make the defense respect him on the perimeter. Last season, alot of the time, defenders would drop an extra man back into the paint when the ball was in his hand. The effect was that of playing 4 on 5.

If DJ continues to knock down that shot he will become one of the best players in the conference. Provided he ever gets healthy.
