They shouldn't get any exception, it's their fault for not knowing how to utilize him properly.

Should work like life insurance…no one would’ve given injury exception insurance for Beal…few other guys like Zion and AD shouldn’t give you an exception either haha

I hope everything is okay, but odd, or just unlucky, that he's missing those two games

Yea I used to always have a family matter in college when I had a test I didn't study for. He's ducking two fanbases he knows are gonna boo his ass for both games. It's a thing stars have been doing for a few years now.

I want to make fun of him for having a "family issue" right when he's about to face his two former teams. But I am holding back just in case there really is something tragic going on in his family.

I hope his family is okay, but either way, KD is a punk ass unbothered little bitch.

KD never ducked GS before. That doesn’t seem like him at all. I’m going to assume he has a family situation going on.

They’ve figured out regular season basketball for sure. I think they probably win 70

I think I'm most surprised with the Raptors record though, 12-5 with a +6.7 margin on a 7 game winning streak. Going into the season I thought they were a total disaster with a bunch of misfitting parts and having given Ingram that extension without seeing him in any game, and having fired Majiri which depressed my Raptors fan friend who is the most optimistic person I know.

Ya I didn’t think they’d work either…a bunch of b-level creators that wouldn’t play well together because they all like the ball, but it seems to be working
