There are numerous stories about what happened, so with that said, is it not strange that there really hasn't been much said? What’s the injury? How’d he actually do it? How bad it is? What’s it mean for his income/insurance? Usually with injuries we hear more

With insurance involved, this is probably the reason not much about the incident has been released, waiting for the claim investigation to conclude.

I noticed that nobody in Baynes camp has really commented on the Bronze or congratulated the team. Makes me think his injury was very serious. What are some possibilities?

Something doesn't add up. Plenty of rumours around. I hope Baynes is doing ok.

I also think how the injury came about is a bit suss. A few vague reports about how it was alleged to have occurred is a red herring in my books.

Agreed, I'm sure there is a lot more to the story. Why not release the specific injury? For example, "cracked vertebrae"? What type of neck injury can you get at half time of a game cause a full season off basketball?
A fall? That bad?

It's like players salary, it’s none of your fucking business

NBA salaries are published .

Umm, injures happen in sports, and they are addressed. This is yet to be addressed, which is why by it is intriguing. We all hope Baynes is ok, but this has been handled very differently to other news/injuries. In terms of whose business it is, we'll he was playing a world sport at the Olympics, so to think people won’t ask is crazy.

As I said, I hope he is ok, and that he recovers fast, but this is certainly very odd.

Only intriguing to you.

"Agreed, I'm sure there is a lot more to the story. Why not release the specific injury? For example, "cracked vertebrae"? What type of neck injury can you get at half time of a game cause a full season off basketball?
A fall? That bad?" AFAIK he was already injured form an on court incident before the change room incident.

Couple of theories I have. He has a spinal condition that would be career ending if it got out, even if surgery resolved it. No team would want to take risk, and not sure insurance wise anyway. Would explain in game injury that became worse after "fall" in change rooms.

Maybe that fall was due to something unsafe and he is exploring his legal options before a statement can be released. That's including medical staff.

And lastly but unlikely, did he do something stupid at halftime like headbutt a wall or something to fire up troops?

But would say he's definitely done in NBA, no-one going to pickup an old guy with neck issues. Time to come home and do a Bogut.

Thought he could have cashed in after his Phoenix outlier shooting season, maybe thought raptors would be better option success wise, either way it didn't work.
I do wonder if in the scans they have found something that's either degenerative or maybe simple knock on court triggered something. Not buying the whole fall in change rooms.

"Interesting that the piece was authored by Windhorst of all people. A strategic move by Moldovan no doubt to get eyeballs on the article and his client's name being talked about again in the greater environment."


Interesting that the article wasn't an accurate reflection of events. I wonder why they wanted to get a different version of the truth out there?

Concussed and allowed to play on. Ridiculous
