Olgun:
Josh Giddey has been ruled of Wednesday's Adelaide 36ers game against the South East Melbourne Phoenix, due to medical advice. Giddey’s head hit the floor after a dunk in overtime last night. His status will be updated prior to Friday’s game vs the New Zealand Breakers.

My heart stopped when he landed on his head after that dunk.
Then he got up and gave indication that he was OK, was able to get up and walk without help or wobbling.
It looked that other than the bloody lip that he didn't suffer any other damage, when he got dragged for the blood he trainer was doing the required assessment but Giddey seemed to dismiss it, which was either a good sign or he is young and just wanted to continue)
Hope he is OK and its not a concussion.
Apparently he was speaking Goat after the game.
The was always the possibility of late onset concussion

Wise to miss a game . Health comes first.
Yes he's probably busting to play but smart move, even rest for his body.

I think a silver lining is this gives Sloan an opportunity to simply take over. It could tell us more about what his best role is moving forward
"Hope he is OK and its not a concussion."
If he hits his head on the floor like he did it is Concussion. It should be a week at the minimum.
Heard Giddey failed concussion test when doctors asked if Adelaide would make the playoffs and he replied yes.

I think Master Chief needs a concussion test if he thinks Sloan can simply take over. Hasn't done a single thing to suggest that and maybe he could have thought about doing it before getting dragged for Teys!
Adelaide should be flying his replacement out ASAP.

Opportunity also for mudrojonga to get into rotation.. No doubt teys be first cab off rank but need to find out if mudrojonga cuts the mustard... having dillion and teys provides the stability and experience needed... crazy that losing an 18 year old is going to.impact and require all hands on court to cover ... hope not concussion maybe loose teeth causing some residual pain - massive spill...

Take over the main point guard duties was what I meant.
I have no idea who this mudrojonga bloke is, but can his family please stop posting about him?
"ADELAIDE 36ers rookie point guard Josh Giddey has only played two NBL games, but the draft-bound sensation already has multiple NBA clubs expressing interest in his sublime skills.
36ers general manager Jeff Van Groningen confirmed he'd had running conversations with several NBA clubs. The 18-yearold NBL Next Star is eligible for the 2021 NBA Draft and is viewed as a late first or seco n d - r o u n d pick. He enhanced his draft stock by excelling in his opening two NBL games.
He had seven points, seven rebounds and four assists in his professional debut during the 36ers’ opening loss to championship favourite Melbourne United on Friday. Giddey backed up on Sunday with a double-double in a remarkable double-overtime win over South East Melbourne."
He has concussion. Look after him JVG.
Reality is that SEM and the 36ers are the bottom 2 teams. Just unfortunate they play each other twice early on.
And if Adelaide can't capitalise on having the first 6 games at home they are doubly cooked.

Adelaide could be 1-3 after next two games.
You can add Sydney if ware doesn't learn to change his game up and pass the ball a bit.
I was kinda hoping that Ware would come back with a few extra tricks in his bag. Nope. Let's hope Forde can fix that one way or the other.
