He's out vs the Nets. Need starter and bench support to help out Luka, who's probably going to try to win the game by himself. KP and THJ are a big chunk of offense, that will be missing. Nets aren't pushovers either. They play hard.

Bummer.  It doesn't sound serious, but I don't blame them for not taking any chances.  Get well soon, KP.

Looks to me like they are saving them for the tough stretch. But to me, games against Charlottes of the world are the ones we should be winning.

Are we worried yet? I thought with the home stretch and the lighter opponent beginning, KP was just getting some rest. Really surprised he isn't back yet.

KP is such a loser. How can he not play in this game!? He's fucking sick? It's sickens me to watch my man Luka play without the "max" player we brought in. SMH.

I'm a little concerned. I'm also a little surprised at how bad we are without KP. I could make the case we were a better team when Luka was out and KP was leading the charge. Clearly Luka is the far better player, but I think we should probably value KP a little more than most of us do.

We become a really small team without KP.  Jackson gets minutes at the 4.

[BigDirk41]

Yeah we need another big for sure.

The guy got sick the with flu. No I'm not worried.

Not looking good. SICK. Like we´d believe it, if we were fans of any of the other 29 teams.

From the outside it looks like he lasted two months into a 60 months max contract. Without inside knowledge, I would not hesitate, if another team put a reasonable offer on the table like Turner + McDermott, Lavine + Satoransky, Drummond + lottery protected 1st, Bamba + Gordon.

We can get Giannis, Rudy or AD in free agency. Who will be the elite playmaker (PG-SF) in the whole league in 2-3 years? There will only be one, and we have him.

[BigDirk41]

If it's a risk to play him right now, he needs to sit. We aren't winning the title with or without him this year so it doesn't really matter. We can still get the 8 seed without him if he gets shut down. He's getting shots in his knee so can't be great.
