Daniel Theis out for the season with torn meniscus

[RedOctober3829]

Per Shams Charania. Huge loss for the bench.

 

[bsj]

No.ooooo!

I was a big Theis fan. Thats disappointing

 

[tbrown_01923]

So does this mean more Semi? Or more minutes for Morris / Tatum?

 

[joe dokes]

Scheisse

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Oh crap, that's a tough loss. He was playing outstanding defense for a first year guy.

I wonder if Yabu is gonna get some run. Probably more Monroe though

 

[Eddie Jurak]

After the 3 bigs remaining (Horford, Baynes, Monroe), it will be small lineups with Ojeleye or Yabu.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This sucks. Good shot-blocker, tough as hell, good hands, great at finding daylight for dunks in the paint.

Put everyone in bubble wrap until October.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Damn it to fuck.

 

[joe dokes]

I doubt it. He doesn't seem like an NBA player.

 

[slamminsammya]

Ah fuck.

So much for making it to the playoffs healthy.

Theis made great improvements over the year, looking forward to a great year next year.

 

[radsoxfan]

Must be getting a repair not a trim, wouldn’t be out through June otherwise. Bummer

 

[mostman]

Does anyone remember this happening during the game? Or did it not? I can’t remeber when he played his last minutes and must have missed him getting hurt.

I think it happened when Sabonis posterized him.

 

[chilidawg]

Guarding Oladipo in the last minute or two.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Blakely reporting there's some hope he'll be back during the playoffs.

 

[mikeot]

Scheisse

Ja.

 

[Reverend]

That just means they don’t know what the meniscus looks like until they go in, I think. @radsoxfan can confirm.

 

[Captaincoop]

Guarding Oladipo in the last minute or two.

If my eyes work correctly (not a sure thing anymore), Oladipo pushed with his hand off Theis' leg, and somehow Theis hurt the knee. Adding insult to injury, there was no foul called.

In general yes, they won’t have a full sense of recovery timeline until they actually do the surgery and officially decide how to treat (repair vs trim). They probably do have a pretty good sense based on MRI appearance even at this point though.

If there currently is hope of coming back for the playoffs they may be strongly leaning to just trimming/cleaning it up based on how they expect it to look.

 

[radsoxfan]

Press release said lateral meniscal “repair” and should be back by next year’s camp.

Probably had a displaced tear involving the majority of the meniscus and it was sutured back in place. If you trim out a huge tear like that it’ll likely lead to early arthritis and is a very bad idea unless last resort.

Season slowly slipping away....
