I'm just not used to seeing a 7' 3" guy move (and topple) like he does.
I'll be honest, when he had that breakaway in game 1 -- you know, the fast break where Bertans fouled him -- I closed my eyes.
Yup. I'm scared everytime he hits the floor. Only time will tell.
But I think that all of the work he's done getting stronger is going to really help. I think if he was really a bad risk our training / medical staff would have warned Cuban and Donnie. There was a reason we didn't sign Parsons ro a new contract back in 2016. I'm pretty sure the advice of our training staff was it.
If Porzingis was a much higher than normal risk for a repeat of this kind of injury, I don't think we would have signed him to a max contract with no options or incentives.
I hope I'm right.
