If Bufkin doesn't get significant minutes during this time, I'm off the Quin train 

And please keep him off the ball. It would be a waste of his skillsets to play in him at PG.

I think he may have hurt his hand before the All Star break if I remember correctly. He hasn't been as aggressive since. The team was begging to be put out of its misery and this will pretty much allow them to lay down. Either way, it's time to focus on player development. The one positive out of this is we will get to see how Kobe looks against NBA competition and maybe get AJ back in the rotation. 

And they just showed the play where it happened.  In the Raptors game.

So from the locked on hawks podcast…it takes four weeks to re-evaluate this injury. The least amount of time for Trae to come back is 2 weeks. The most amount of time to come back from this injury is 4 weeks. There are 7 weeks left in this season. There is a very real chance Trae played his game this season.

Hopefully this won't impact his career. Hand injuries are no joke.

John Collin’s knows all about that!

This team won't play worse without Trae. Trae is a better player than Murray but 2 of them sharing the floor is a disaster. I wish Trae a quick recovery but looking forward to see how this team plays from now on. Play KB more and win more than 50% of the remaining games

Sending out Good vibes and well wishes to Trae and his Doctors today.

Trae got nicked pretty bad against the C’s . He was dribbling one handed for like half the game

Yeah, I thought I remembered him hurting his hand sometime before the All Star break. I'm not sure if it's the same hand or not though. All I know is, he was a completely different player after that game and the games after.

Agreed. 
I remember vividly as my Boston friends were trash talking and I was letting them know Trae was literally playing one handed until he was subbed out.

There was a possession where the defender saw this and attacked his dribble and all Trae could do was pivot his body to shield the ball, he couldn’t cross his dribble anymore.

Not saying it’s the same hand but it definitely coincided with his shooting slump pre Toronto game

Yup. It has been an....exciting weekend. Not in a good way and work is BUH-nannas. I finally got 2 seconds to breathe, catch up, and then...

Trae is also bionic, mind you. He has returned early from injury/Covid every single time.

Dude loves to play, and that doesn’t get praised enough.

True, but various shoulder, wrist and concussion injuries throughout this season - might need to rest

I dunno man...getting hit by a tank is pretty serious.  Don't know how quick he can bounce back from that.
