Denzel Ward will miss multiple games with a calf strain

Unsympathetic

Teller's injury was a calf as well. With two starters having the same soft-tissue injury.. have to ask questions about the precision of their offseason training programs. It's a common injury - but not unavoidable.

There also was no preseason so... players didn't get practice time acclimating themselves to game conditions...

Damn calf injuries don't heal quickly either. They're really annoying.

(can't these sort of things ever happen to teams such as the Steelqueers or Ratbirds?) ?

Kevin Johnson is the most underrated player in the LEAGUE. You never even hear his name. He just does his shit. Pay him, pay him now.

As far as Denzel, it's not good. However, calf strains are funny things. He won't necessarily miss the 4 weeks that Teller did. He CAN be back in weeks, it just depends. I don't remember the injury, which is a good thing. It might be a low grade injury that heals quickly. We better hope so.

And here I am hoping that our 2 best defenders are going to miss some weeks due to injury/COVID... Just to come back stronger for the season finale and PLAYOFFS.
