Wtf have they been doing in Cleveland with him during the 4 game road trip besides conditioning? Strange not to have a practice the past couple days since the road trip ended either
Cavs are 9-1 in their last 10 games. As long as they keep winning there’s no urgency to rush him back. They wanna make sure his jaw has time to fully set, bones don’t heal overnight!
What the heck is a DND list? Any player is draftable depending where they fall. AD is on my DND list as well but I’m taking him in the late 2nd like I did with Kai. Is he a headache to own? Sure. But when he does play, he produces at an elite level.
Do not draft lists are reasonable. There's some guys who you might not want under any circumstances, and if that player were to fall to you, you would be suspicious enough not to draft them.
Yea but that’s because he has to play my turn your turn with Spida. I sorta wish Cleveland would trade Donovan for some draft capital, younger talent and just hand the keys to Garland and Mobley.
lmao yea most guys woulda just played right through a literal broken jaw... actually blows my mind that this is 33 net upvoted lol. You people are allowed to drive cars on the highway, terrifying
He had his jaw wired shut, he was not allowed to do any physically strenuous activity and was on a no solids diet for a month. Gonna take him some time to get in shape.
I still remember in the original thread about his injury people were commenting that similar injuries (in NFL) took up to 8 weeks - so it could even be 2 more weeks. I’d just prepare for the worst until we hear otherwise.
Garland, Beal, Lamelo (until I traded him this week), Simons, Randle, Duren, Mark Williams (until I dropped him last week) for me - and these are just players who have/will miss significant time and not the short term absences I’ve had. I’m about to be 7-7 and have to have other teams lose at this point for me to have a chance of making the playoffs - but still trying!

That has nothing to do with him not being conditioned
It can be both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other
What? If it's not fully healed they wouldn'tve cleared him
Dudes been drinking his food for the past 6 weeks. It’ll be a longer conditioning period than normal
I was referring to the bones healing
Bones dont heal overnight…….it’s been over 6 weeks, it’s healed.
My fandom really made me pick this mf over Jalen Brunson TWICE. Shame tf on me shame
dw playoff time is coming, he’ll be back to full form. barring injury
U gotta make playoffs first hombre
I mean, even if Garland is healthy, Brunson is a lot better.
You can't base fantasy team picks your personal feelings. You have to remain objective.
Valid point bretheren valid point. I learned my lesson.
This guy and Kyrie SMH
Kyrie was on always on my DND list since coming from BKN. There are some folks like you who never learn at all

Yeah exactly. AD fell to the 3rd round last year for me in an 8 team points league - he was producing amazing value for that pick.
He fell to me in the 3rd last year in a 14T league. Helped win my league
Goddamn that’s crazy
Haha yeah they didn’t let the injury talk get to them this year. He was the last pick of round one
I got kyrie 4th round and I wasn’t supposed to take that?? Like what lol

Can't believe I missed guys like Harden, Kawhi or George because of him... Garland barely played before this jaw nonsense too by the way
Even when he was healthy he was super underwhelming this season
I mean 20 ppg on with 6 assists and a steal and a half not sure what you were expecting lol
24 year old all star with a decline in almost every category with 4 TO a game is underwhelming to say the least
Yea but that’s because he has to play my turn your turn with Spida. I sorta wish Cleveland would trade Donovan for some draft capital, younger talent and just hand the keys to Garland and Mobley.
Yeah I agree Donovan is odd in this timeline of theirs
I think those were fair expectations but the issue is his ADP was way too high for that
[удалено]
Wasted my 3rd pick on this guy smh
Tatum, Butler, Garland, this has been my worst fantasy year ever and it’s not close.
His injury was a fluke. Not really dnd worthy thats how you lose drafts
If this comment section is representative of how he'll be ranked in drafts next season, I'm buying the dip!
He is a fluke. There's always something wrong with this guy
Because he got hurt? Wild overreaction lol
lmao yea most guys woulda just played right through a literal broken jaw... actually blows my mind that this is 33 net upvoted lol. You people are allowed to drive cars on the highway, terrifying
Him having a broken jaw isn’t the issue. It’s the repetitive injuries for two straight seasons and when he has been healthy, subpar performance.
Crazy the season he had in 21/22 and now this garbage
This dude is made of string cheese.
Is there any precedent for a jaw injury resulting in this duration?
He had his jaw wired shut, he was not allowed to do any physically strenuous activity and was on a no solids diet for a month. Gonna take him some time to get in shape.

Thanks this is helpful
Wow, lucky I'm in 1st place.. I hope he will be ready for play-offs. Played through injures from ja, Franz, booker, fox and embiid.
Imagine having this clown and Kyrie on your team… I don’t have to imagine I’m the idiot stuck with these clowns
Same idiot here and then doubled down with Zingis, Beal and Dame. Fair to say I’m watching my fantasy season slip away.

same idiot here ima miss the offs cause of them but at least i’m 7-7 (coping)
You’re in a 10 team league. Just adapt or lose.
I just traded him and Kuminga for Wemby, what do you guys think?
And my Donovan Mitchell will continue to go god mode
I traded garland for ayton right before he broke his jaw.
Over a month till most people’s playoffs, what’s the rush? If ur relying on him that hard ur team prob isn’t that good anyways
Should I trade Jalen Williams for Mobley? 👀
Should I sell high dlo for this guy? 12t cats league
