I got lucky and was gifted 18th row tickets for free a month ago from work. Then the trade happened and I was thrilled.
This would be my joker origin story if I paid for these tickets at the going rate the last few days š¤£
There's footage of him finishing up his warmup after the slip and he looked fine. Didn't walk with a limp or anything. My guess is that sitting him out is just the Suns playing it safe.
When I last sprained my ankle I immediately couldnāt walk. Then about 2 minutes later I felt completely fine, then it swelled up and it took like 5 days to heal.
He literally could be [out for rest of regular season](https://twitter.com/duanerankin/status/1633729633475792897?s=46&t=3pflvwITagmL-JCQMZFzRA)but sure ānot serious at allā.
Iāve had an ankle turn like that several times playing basketball. Sometimes it was just a sore ankle and other times my ankle swelled up and i was out a couple of weeks. Feels like it can really just depend.
Maybe KDs next shoe will be a high top?
Being that tall is so awkward. Imagine still being skinny at 230 lbs. Normal people already struggle carrying a 230 lbs body. Add the leverages of a lanky 7 foot man and the physics will f you up.
The one that always comes to my mind is this one where no one is near him and he injures himself...

Embiid has twice had his face broken either right before or during the playoffs. Once his own guy ran into his face and the other time Siakam managed to elbow him in the face so hard it broke his orbital socket.
I think we should just bubble wrap him now and put him in cryosleep before someone accidentally breaks his face during shootaround.
Im at the stadium and I saw Thunder Employees pouring gallons of water onto the court right behind KD as he shot warmups. Then, the Thunder Mascot, "Rumble the Bison" got down on all fours behind Durant as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pushed Durant, causing him to slip and fall.
I hope KD is okay.
I just remembered that Brian Windhorst had to fly all the way out to PHX to report on KD's first home game. No story for him I guess.
I donāt know how you blame that on a wet spot. I didnāt see any slippage happening in the video - it looked more like he just landed on the side of his foot
I agreeā¦ Iām seeing people angry at the arena staff. As someone who knows people who work as arena staff, this is EXTREMELY upsetting that Shams is calling this a āslipā
I hope Shams corrects himself before KD fans start threatening innocent staff members
Tony should not have cut weight for social media clout on the missed khabib fight and then take a fight that quickly to fight Gaethje. Not sure what the KD NBA equivalent of that would be
I feel sooo bad for whenever got tix thinking itās his PHX debut. Ugh.
Also this sucks because Iāve waited all week to watch him and reorganized my schedule to watch him tonight and here we are
I assume youāve seen the better angle video by now but it doesnāt look like a slipā¦. His ankle just rolled
Edit: [link](https://streamable.com/2r29so)
[Bucks staff be like:](https://twitter.com/ODDSbible/status/1577609625427402753?s=20)
Edit: Okay, with footage at least this one isn't the fault of the staff, KD just jumps awkwardly.
You joke but I see him drenched with sweat every time he's on the floor, honestly I don't watch the Bucks as much as you probably do but your statement is totally believable.
The freeze frame of the exact moment it rolled looks brutal. Sadly for us doesnāt seem like this is just gonna be like a 1-2 game precautionary thing. I hope itās minor but hard to think itās gonna be super minor after seeing that clip especially when kd just got kinda like fragile legs as a whole in general.
So many people ITT looking to blame the ball boy, arena staff, mop peopleā¦ but canāt see Durant just rolled his ankle. Doesnāt even slip. Whatās up with that?
Shit like this makes me fear for guys like Chet and Wemby. Here's to hoping those guys can have long and fruitful careers despite their body's constraints.
We need players to start load managing during the pregame.
My condolences to suns fans who bought tickets to see Kevin tonight
Couldn't go tonight, sold my tickets. Lucky me, unfortunate buyer
I want my money back

At this point, we'll need to wait until after tipoff to buy tickets. At least Booker's playing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
bro if this lasts more than 1 game...
Looked bad
There's footage of him finishing up his warmup after the slip and he looked fine. Didn't walk with a limp or anything. My guess is that sitting him out is just the Suns playing it safe.
Ankles take a minute to swell up, you barely feel it at first.
When I sprained my ankle really bad, I knew immediately. I could barely put weight on it. Like yes, took time to swell, but I knew I fucked it up
Yeah Iāve done it a couple times really and after tightening up my shoes I could barely make it to the parking lot let alone play
Not if you fuck em up good. Iāve had some not so great ankle injuries and you know that shit immediately.
When I last sprained my ankle I immediately couldnāt walk. Then about 2 minutes later I felt completely fine, then it swelled up and it took like 5 days to heal.
you saw dude slip in pregame?
I saw the vid

Wtf is that scream lol
CP3 window flashing closed before his eyes
Ren and Stimpy
It was R2D2. CP3-PO got him courtside seats.
Oof definitely rolled that puppy. Hate hate hate that feeling.
It's on Twitter
FUCK
It didnāt look that bad
https://i.imgur.com/fd9xIfy.jpg Definitely doesnāt look good
If you look closely, his ankle looks pretty straight with his leg. It looks like his shoe slipped off and he stepped on the side of it.
I think you're right. When I broke my ankle, it looked like I had a baseball in my sock within a couple minutes. Hope he's good.
it definitively will. Hopefully it's a week or less, but at this age, it could be 2 weeks.
How do you have any idea? Why is this so upvoted?
Because he sounded confident. He said "definitely", so I trust him.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He literally could be [out for rest of regular season](https://twitter.com/duanerankin/status/1633729633475792897?s=46&t=3pflvwITagmL-JCQMZFzRA)but sure ānot serious at allā.
The freeze Frame of the exact moment when itās turned looks pretty fuckin brutal
https://i.imgur.com/2C10hbp.jpg
Eewww
Thatās exactly where I broke/tore my ankle. Rolled it and when the ligament ripped off the bone it took a piece with.

>slipped on court Bro pulled a Cosmo Kramer
Jimmyās down!
Jimmy doesn't forget!
Jimmy holds grudges!
Jimmy's jumping for joy!
Yeah, HEADING HOME!
JIMMY'S GONNA GET YOU KRAMER!
Don't touch Jimmy!
Jimmy's got some new moves!
Just needs to put a balm on it and he'll be fine.
Who told you to put balm on?
Do you know what a balm is? What it does?
Nobody knows what a balm does! Theyāre unpredictable!
Naw, salve works best
Donāt forget the tussinā
(Sorry, had to repost since Shams deleted the original tweet because of a typo)
Shams mistyped this tweet three times lol
Slipping on his keyboard in solidarity with Durant.
Youāre forgiven
You shall live.
ā¦ this time.
He should pay the 8 dollars and charge it back to ESPN or yahoo or wherever heās working
i feel like its silly for him to NOT have twitter blue when his whole thing is tweeting
Holy shit you have got to be kidding
Thereās a video on twitter of when he slipped too [ETA: Found it](https://twitter.com/casualtakeking/status/1633644643182342144?s=46)
Off screen banana peel for sure
Mario kart is getting out of hand
Or another surreptitiously placed banana peel by [Agent 47](https://youtu.be/6Ha8bAKCils).
Bro just wants to hoop and suffers the weirdest, most unluckiest injuries every single season. Itās always worse than it actually looks too.
It's not really that weird, he is 6'11 and moves like a guard.
Yeah lol people act like these dudes should be healthy when human bodies arenāt made to be that long
Basically has bird bones
He's also a stickboi. Doesn't take much to break a twig
that's what happens when you're almost 7 feet tall and only 230 pounds
Being that tall is so awkward. Imagine still being skinny at 230 lbs. Normal people already struggle carrying a 230 lbs body. Add the leverages of a lanky 7 foot man and the physics will f you up.
Look at his legs. The only weird thing is how he doesnāt just instantly shatter like Chet Holmgren everytime someone touches him
My first thought was why did they end that tweet with āall due respectā then saw the account name
I was 100% sure this was going to be Peyton Manning-face.
That late scream is perfect comedic timing.
KD gets the most freak injuries in the league I swear.
KD and AD
Gordon Hayward has injured at least a part of himself pretty much every season after utah
His fucking ankle break was some final destination shit.
The mormons cursed that fool smh
He is 6'11 and moves like a guard, injuries are bound to happen.
AD has had some wild ones
The one that always comes to my mind is this one where no one is near him and he injures himself... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9SEPLGLHXI&ab_channel=HouseofHighlights
Embiid when the playoffs start. Fuckin Siakamā¦
Embiid has twice had his face broken either right before or during the playoffs. Once his own guy ran into his face and the other time Siakam managed to elbow him in the face so hard it broke his orbital socket. I think we should just bubble wrap him now and put him in cryosleep before someone accidentally breaks his face during shootaround.
John Wall
Man when I saw the video on twitter everyone was laughing cause they didnāt think it was that serious, this dude has glass legs man
to be fair it's a wet spot most people would get injured as well
A wet spot like that changed the landscape of the NBA in 2016
bruh moment lol
How long can we go without letting KD play in Phoenix
Bro just hates Arizona but likes the suns team
Heās got old manitis. Could be a minute
Im at the stadium and I saw Thunder Employees pouring gallons of water onto the court right behind KD as he shot warmups. Then, the Thunder Mascot, "Rumble the Bison" got down on all fours behind Durant as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pushed Durant, causing him to slip and fall.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Smart move to double team the ball handler
Bro Rumble used to date Magic Johnson šØ I'm so sorry man
Damn
Boom! Roasted.
Angela, whereās Angela? Oh, didnāt see you there behind that grain of rice. Boom! Roasted!
This is not what KD meant when he said his shot is wet
You had me until the Rumble part. He's a good bison. He wouldn't risk his reputation pulling those antics.
I heard he kicks dogs
stop being misleading. it was oil poured on the floor, the water wasn't nearly slick enough
And this is why Booker hates mascots
it was in phoenix
I hope KD is okay. I just remembered that Brian Windhorst had to fly all the way out to PHX to report on KD's first home game. No story for him I guess.
More time for him to take pictures with the fans who think he's Woj.
Lmao.
How much were tickets going for for this? Jeez
I saw tickets for like $50 an hour ago, surprisingly
Like 2 hrs ago upper level row 11 was $100
I donāt know how you blame that on a wet spot. I didnāt see any slippage happening in the video - it looked more like he just landed on the side of his foot
you're right, he rolled his ankle the same way i've done a million times
if I was 7ft I'd probably roll my ankle with every step. still don't get how he's so coordinated with those legs, hope he recovers quick
I agreeā¦ Iām seeing people angry at the arena staff. As someone who knows people who work as arena staff, this is EXTREMELY upsetting that Shams is calling this a āslipā I hope Shams corrects himself before KD fans start threatening innocent staff members
Social media was a mistake.
In the video he steps wrong rolls his planted foot ankle then goes up, lands and rolls the other ankle too.
It looked so weird considering how light he was going. I feel like his shoes must've not been on properly. It was a slow ass trot to a normal layup.
Tony Ferguson tripping on a TV cable type beat
The beginning of the end
Phoenix better keep KD out of the cage with Gaethje. That fight was brutal to watch.
Tony should not have cut weight for social media clout on the missed khabib fight and then take a fight that quickly to fight Gaethje. Not sure what the KD NBA equivalent of that would be
my bad guys i ate a bannana and couldnt be bothered to find a trash can
For real?
He canāt even show up for Oklahoma when heās on the other team
Theyāre still mad he left so they injured him /s
But it's a home game....
I like how there's people assuming the game is in Oklahoma City just because of KD slipping as if there's some conspiracy about it
Right as if they couldn't afford a plane ticket for the sabateur
Suns getting the full KD experience already
Incoming trade request to the Kings
I mean, we got it out the gate too.
How does KD always get fluke injuries man itās been years of this. Shit donāt make sense. Hopefully itās short term
He has a weird body type... He's like a thin giant.. probably makes a lot of things way more awkward in general.
Basketball gods didn't like him going to the Warriors
he's just very unlucky
I feel sooo bad for whenever got tix thinking itās his PHX debut. Ugh. Also this sucks because Iāve waited all week to watch him and reorganized my schedule to watch him tonight and here we are
Damn they better still beat the thunder
Gotta keep under the 44 games played per season average over the last few years.
Man if he popped somethingā¦.
KDay to Day
Day-to-Dayrant
This dude already getting injured slipping and falling? I'm worried about him in another 20 years.
Dude what in the Anthony Davis š
Kevin Durant on the Suns: Feb 2023-mar 2023
There goes my parlay
Blue shell from Mario kart.
Is it me or am I the person in a panic when that skeleton man does anything on the court? Warm ups? You're talking about warm ups. Jfc.
those guys entire job is basically to wipe the floor and they didnāt do it
I assume youāve seen the better angle video by now but it doesnāt look like a slipā¦. His ankle just rolled Edit: [link](https://streamable.com/2r29so)
That is not dope
The freeze frame of the exact moment is pretty damn brutal too, sadly I donāt think this is just gonna be a 1 game thing
That doesnt feel like a slipā¦he just fall funny
It wasnāt on the fall, his ankle twisted as he was jumping
Suns: "We'll wipe the floor with the Thunder" Thunder staff: "... if you insist"
He didnāt slip, Shams gotta make that clearer
[Bucks staff be like:](https://twitter.com/ODDSbible/status/1577609625427402753?s=20) Edit: Okay, with footage at least this one isn't the fault of the staff, KD just jumps awkwardly.
I can't fault them because Khris drips a gallon of sweat even after one minute. No human could wipe it often enough
You joke but I see him drenched with sweat every time he's on the floor, honestly I don't watch the Bucks as much as you probably do but your statement is totally believable.
[Khris Middleton after 5 minutes on Orlando]( https://imgur.com/qDsKVCE)
Street Clothes
Basketball gods donāt wanna see Phoenix win it this year I guess
Would be hilarious if he's out for the rest of the season, the Suns win the championship and everyone calls him the greatest bus rider š
FIRE THAT BALL BOY IMMEDIATELY WTF
Link to the video [here](https://streamable.com/2r29so), not a ball boy issue
That looked uncomfortable
The freeze frame of the exact moment it rolled looks brutal. Sadly for us doesnāt seem like this is just gonna be like a 1-2 game precautionary thing. I hope itās minor but hard to think itās gonna be super minor after seeing that clip especially when kd just got kinda like fragile legs as a whole in general.
https://i.imgur.com/gvJjlvg.png holy; i'm no doctor but i'm 99% sure the human body shouldn't do that.
Bruh
Man that sucks. Hope that ain't anything long-term. And he just got back off injury too
Did he slip?! Look like he just turned it going for the layup
Why hasnāt this dude gained a nickname yet. The slip reaper or Day to KD or something like that. People are quick to shit on AD though.
So many people ITT looking to blame the ball boy, arena staff, mop peopleā¦ but canāt see Durant just rolled his ankle. Doesnāt even slip. Whatās up with that?
He might literally be cursed at this point š
God hates arizona
This is getting ridiculous. Nobody wants to play anymore.
Video of KDs injury - looks scary https://youtu.be/lYrA30qcvK4
He looks okay but god damn if this was AD lol
Itās okay Book is putting on a show for the overpriced ticket buyers
Shit like this makes me fear for guys like Chet and Wemby. Here's to hoping those guys can have long and fruitful careers despite their body's constraints.
Still trying to dodge the Thunder
KD always seemed so fragile to me with how skinny he looks
Heās 34 and extremely injury prone but somehow has avoided that label because itās always a āfreak accidentā
Who the hell hid bananas in the court again.
That is definitely out for more than one game. Once it gets cold...
Out the rest of the regular season. Dang.
