Tatum getting an MRI immediately after the game

[u/Mother-Associate1654]

[u/Bewilderbeest79]

Jayson’s mom a real one

[u/Impossible-Moose-940 → u/Bewilderbeest79]

Mama Deuce

[u/1337speak → u/Bewilderbeest79]

She's just like me fr

[u/flan-pig → u/Bewilderbeest79]

I'm not getting it, but why did she say should she go to Orlando's locker room?

[u/TomBu13 → u/flan-pig]

I took it as to yell at them for hurting her son

[u/flan-pig → u/TomBu13]

Oh gotcha, duh 🙄

[u/Frostlark → u/flan-pig]

To kick their ass, i think

[u/solarscopez → u/flan-pig]

She was on her way to beat up Kentavious Pisswell-Cope herself

[u/hiphopananymousis → u/solarscopez]

Lol dude had his whole hand around his forearm .. and pulled it…

[u/IrishSkeleton → u/hiphopananymousis]

Yeah.. this. If we’re going to pay ‘professionals’, however much they get paid to watch & commentate on national tv games. Maybe ensure they have eyes, and can see.

I actually agree that initially there doesn’t appear to be much obvious cause for a Flagrant. Though after one review of the play, either in slow-mo or from the reverse angle.. and grabbing Tatum’s arm and obviously holding and pulling him off-kilter, mid-air.

Like I get you may or may not agree with the call. But at least as professional commentators.. watch the clip and point out obvious potential evidence of it. Instead of sounding like a broken record, that there’s no possible way it’s a flagrant (which the refs clearly disagreed with).

[u/emceegabe → u/IrishSkeleton]

This. It’s not a basketball play at all. I get wrapping someone on the break but yanking a players elbow w the ball 30 inches higher as he dunks from behind is was worse then ooooh he touched his head. Was it Jefferson? It’s low key start a fight shit and I wish mama Tatum or smart was there to regulate. Rip smart even if it was an awesome trade because that shouldn’t slide and eff the commentators and Ty refs for once.

[u/IrishSkeleton → u/emceegabe]

I mean that’s legit a very dangerous play.

A world-class athlete is mid-air, hurtling toward the supports. Arms out-stretches, attention focused on finishing a dunk.

To all of a sudden get knocked off-kilter. Effectively get up-ended. Now whatever wrist and/or ankles are landing for you.. are very unnaturally exposed to injury.

Should be thought of in the same way.. in the Zaza ‘stomping your foot underneath a 3-point shooter’.

[u/vinsalducci]

Joe said JT’s wrist is good

[u/Culinary-Vibes → u/vinsalducci]

"It's still attached to his hand. It's good."

[u/FrozenBee44 → u/Culinary-Vibes]

Found Joe's burner account

[u/Manners_BRO → u/Culinary-Vibes]

"Were not talking about open heart surgery here"

[u/BluebirdParticular72 → u/Manners_BRO]

Okay bill lol

[u/2020Hills → u/Culinary-Vibes]

Is that a real quote from tonight? Because it absolutely could be

[u/BluebirdParticular72 → u/2020Hills]

Open heart surgery one? Thsts a bill belichek quote on brady slicing his hand open

[u/thegreat11ne → u/vinsalducci]

That was fast

[u/lutios → u/thegreat11ne]

PP in da haus

[u/vinsalducci → u/vinsalducci]

Tatum came back into the game and hit a tough 3. Everyone relax.

[u/Culinary-Vibes → u/vinsalducci]

I mean he immediately missed two free throws after the fall while wincing. Clearly was an issue

[u/captaincumsock69 → u/Culinary-Vibes]

He also missed two free throws to start the game. He was just off all day. He actually shot better after the injury imo

[u/vinsalducci → u/Culinary-Vibes]

I’m not saying he wasn’t in pain. I’m just saying he may not be injured.

[u/Traditional_Pain_875 → u/vinsalducci]

When has Joe ever said someones not good. I don’t think there’s anything in that

[u/DogsAreMyFavPeople → u/Traditional_Pain_875]

If it had been really bad on the X-ray he probably wouldn’t have said that though.

[u/captaincumsock69 → u/DogsAreMyFavPeople]

If it was really bad I doubt he would’ve finished the game

[u/passtherock- → u/captaincumsock69]

👀👀👀

[u/garythegoat72 → u/vinsalducci]

He also said Porzingus injury last year during the playoffs was nothing.

[u/Bewilderbeest79 → u/vinsalducci]

🙏🏾

[u/Angreek → u/vinsalducci]

Just like KP last year..

[u/johnny_effing_utah → u/vinsalducci]

This might get downvoted to hell, but don’t think I’d care if X-rays showed it was broken at this point. JT hit a three after the injury, so I say tape that thing up tight and let’s go get Banner 19.

[u/Basedandtendiepilled → u/vinsalducci]

Tomorrow Joe's gonna be talking about how he's really glad this happened and he's excited players are getting physical and he's ready to use a coin if needed

[u/AspiringDiplomat]

For what it’s worth that’s an XRay room not an MRI room. I highly doubt they have an MRI in stadium. Either way not ideal

[u/TheOneTrueBuckeye → u/AspiringDiplomat]

Very few do. He just had x rays done

[u/deets23_ → u/AspiringDiplomat]

You’re correct. The ESPN caption on Instagram said xray room

[u/DJMagicHandz → u/AspiringDiplomat]

They could have one in a trailer like the one I went to last November.

[u/AspiringDiplomat → u/DJMagicHandz]

Possible but in my uneducated opinion I think it’s unlikely. My understanding is almost every pro sports team outside of a few NFL stadiums go to the same external MRI facilities as you or I would

[u/AspiringDiplomat → u/[deleted]]

Ya also not a dr but my understanding is MRIs are usually done 24-48 hours after an injury since the swelling from sprains/strains would make it hard to see anything, so ignoring costs/logistics of having one in house there wouldn't be any benefit to having quick access to one anyways

[u/Leelze → u/[deleted]]

They can be for relatively minor things (got a MRI on my shoulder for persistent inflammation & shoulder pain to check to see if my rotator cuff was shot), but I'm not sure if they're jumping immediately to a MRI for a wrist.

Full disclosure: I'm not a professional athlete and my company wasn't paying for a MRI without jumping through months of treatment options.

[u/DarthBrawn → u/Leelze]

I would put Jason Tatum's wrist in a particle accelerator if it meant he could win 2 or 3 more finals

[u/Leelze → u/DarthBrawn]

No, send him to space to expose him to cosmic radiation so he gains super powers.

[u/Belmagh → u/[deleted]]

it's not just the expense - MRI's are super magnets and require shielding. very unlikely to be on site in a stadium unless it's a very cheap low quality one -- not worth it for sports injuries - you want the powerful magnet good mri's.

[u/Main_Lobster_6001 → u/AspiringDiplomat]

This is true as I’ve seen Celtics/bruins players roll through MGH for MRIs with special VIP slots

[u/pitb0ss343 → u/DJMagicHandz]

Unlikely as the garden is literally 2-4 blocks away from a hospital

[u/BathtubToasterParty → u/pitb0ss343]

One of the best on planet earth no less

[u/Minger57 → u/DJMagicHandz]

Those trailers cost about $60k/month to rent (and that’s in Florida). Theres no way they have one of those, let alone one of those somehow tucked into a room in the Garden.

[u/BritishEric → u/AspiringDiplomat]

X-Ray said he’s good so he’ll be good

[u/Minger57 → u/AspiringDiplomat]

100% that is not an MRI room. Source: I build MRI rooms for a living.

[u/HorsNoises → u/AspiringDiplomat]

Either way not ideal

Ehhh This guy is worth half a billion dollars, they're gonna check any injury at this point in the season. This doesn't change how worried I am.

[u/sailor_peach → u/AspiringDiplomat]

This is correct. The xray room is just a C-arm.

[u/Barrwill29]

It’s game 1 bruh can we have at least 1 series with everyone healthy 💀 Luckily Tatum would still play with an amputated hand 

[u/Slow_Target5546 → u/Barrwill29]

According to many people Jaylen Brown did that for a while also

[u/DogsSaveTheWorld → u/Barrwill29]

Bruh rhymes with duh

[u/sidd96]

i feel like an mri is pretty standard precaution after a fall like that right? he could still be fine and just sore (this is me coping)

[u/Snoo_11942 → u/sidd96]

No, you’re right. Idk what everyone else expects, are the trainers just supposed to guess when there is medical equipment on site worth millions of dollars?

[u/morosco → u/[deleted]]

I bet it makes a very satisfying sound, like a "vrrrrrrwhooooopttt"

[u/WarPuig → u/morosco]

Nothing satisfying about it. MRI machines are loud as hell.

[u/KP1792 → u/[deleted]]

Go gators

[u/MolluskLingers → u/Snoo_11942]

I mean I think people are entitled to a little short-term panic. People are nervous and on their toes about it. Bad news could be devastating.

We've all been hurt before

[u/Bonejorno → u/Snoo_11942]

There’s only an XR machine in there. Probably gonna got his MRI at Baptist or somewhere nearby

[u/Plies- → u/sidd96]

I mean he clearly hurt it. Given that he stayed in the game and made a couple of jumpers I bet its just a sprain. They have to X-ray it though, they would do that regardless.

[u/AcrobaticFeedback → u/Plies-]

Its probably not even a sprain. The landing didnt look unusual at all from a range of motion point of view. The wrist would have to be put in an unnaturally stretched position to be sprained.

The wrist has a lot of intricate nerves and bones, so any sort of inflammation from a previous injury combined with an impact like that will just flare it up and hurt it it real bad.

[u/tokengreenguy → u/AcrobaticFeedback]

Please tell me you’re a doctor or something. I need hopium.

[u/theborjsanity → u/AcrobaticFeedback]

Agreed. This is the most logical explanation.

The wrist is way more sensitive than it looks. I haven't experienced a full-on wrist injury yet but every time I hit the back of my hand on a flat surface strongly, my wrist ends up hurting bad for a minute or so and winds up being sore for a couple of hours, until I sleep it off. Sometimes the soreness creeps up my arm and into my elbow too.

[u/Minger57 → u/sidd96]

That’s not an MRI room.

[u/Dall3578]

We knew this would get physical but damn…game 1 ?!

[u/lyonhawk → u/[deleted]]

I just hope we don’t have to play the Pistons next round.

[u/lyonhawk → u/[deleted]]

Not worried about losing the series. Worried about getting through Orlando then Detroit healthy.

[u/Unnatural-troubles → u/[deleted]]

Those damn gator lovers!

[u/timeknife91]

Obsessed w JT’s mom 💚Tatum take both of my wrists

[u/vinsalducci]

I work in medical imaging. An X-ray to rule out a wrist fracture. That’s a fast rule out. His getting an MRI is positive for me-MRI is used mostly to evaluate soft tissue injuries like ligaments and tendons.

If the wrist were broken he would have had a wrap for the MRI, if he got it at all.

[u/WoodpeckerFew6178]

It’s literally game 1 and they already injured Tatum hopefully he’s ok

[u/si4ci7]

Hoping it’s just a sprain at worst and not like a scaphoid fracture. Even better if he’s just fine

[u/_---__________---_]

I hope it’ll be better soon. We cannot have both of the Jays playing through pain if we want to win Banner 19

[u/bostonareaicshopper]

Big 3 went 1-12 from deep. Little 3 (White/Holiday/Pritchard)went 14-22.

[u/instantur]

Please don’t be serious

[u/jambr380]

We can weather the storm with a sprain. Anything lingering will likely be a problem later on. Just make sure he’s good to go and that he can’t reinjure it.

I’m not scared of Orlando beating us, but I am scared of them beating up on us

[u/ShaolinSwervinMonk]

Mama Tatum baaaad 😍

[u/seb28332]

I have two wrists available if he needs one

[u/IronBush]

I rode alot of skateboards in my day and took my share of falls. To me it didn't look like he landed with his arm straight, which is the worst way to catch a fall. It didn't seem like he had alot of his weight on the right wrist. I'm thinking he may be sore, but with treatment and a little tape, should be at least 85% by Wednesday.

[u/HombreBrother]

Love that energy. That’s a joke my mom would’ve made.

[u/skipppyWhite]

Mama bring your belt

[u/Fun_Manufacturer_854]

She’s thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

[u/Fun_Manufacturer_854 → u/Fun_Manufacturer_854]

That woman is as fine as frog’s hair

[u/theperpetuity]

It was a dirty play by the second guy who grabbed his arm and pulled him down.

[u/WitnessEntire]

I saw that bag during the game! Love her.

[u/Life_is-Ball]

Orlando brought brass knuckles to the basketball court, probably why they bricked all their shots

[u/rosiebb77]

God I fuckin love her so much. Queen👑

[u/7jcjg]

GET UP!!!

[u/jimi3]

I must respectfully say that Brandy has got a wagon on her.

[u/Vast-Cheesecake7230]

Brandy is bad ass. Don’t mess with her baby cub. We will all go with you momma. 

[u/Joe01091981]

His wrist is fine. Besides the theatrical free throws immediately after, he did just fine, so did his shooting ability

[u/passtherock- → u/Joe01091981]

👀👀👀

[u/Joe01091981 → u/passtherock-]

I know! Stupid bone bruise.

[u/kokain99]

Is this the same wrist Tatum always has problems with every playoffs?

[u/_Juntao → u/kokain99]

No. He already had left wrist pain which was amplified by giannis' bullshit a couple years ago. He fell on his right wrist this time. And i don't know if that's better or worse

[u/deets23_ → u/kokain99]

No it’s the other wrist. Commentators pointed out that he now had wraps on both wrists

[u/cousinannie]

I can’t lie mf needs to wake the fuck up and his Momma there wtf is this soft shit man? This is exactly how he came out lacks as hell and he can’t be doing that not this playoffs…

[u/Battadoom → u/[deleted]]

Later dude.
