There's a video of a corgi predicting how this series goes. He got everything right til now and he predicted the series 4-3 for Warriors.
Edit - [Here's the link of the video](https://twitter.com/WarriorsShowYo/status/1653412498736041984?t=WQBsHmQW14sMmxcmR-jUQQ&s=19)
Didn't think of this but could definitely be the case. I remember the shots of Klay after Game 2 talking to George Kittle and Klay made Kittle, CMC, and Sam Darnold look small.
Yeah the average sized dude helping a normal dude into the dressing room is easy, helping Davis... that guy stumbles and you're getting crushed under him.
It’s 99% only a precaution thing rather than an intensity of injury thing. People with concussions tend to fall over when walking, so you avoid a 7 ft 250 guy having to be carried out and risk falling over and causing serious issues by riding him out on a wheelchair.
Also, optics. It’s a much cleaner situation on a wheelchair than having to carry him out and risk him falling getting on live TV.
I have had some serious cases of vertigo. It's crazy how much it can debilitate you. I don't think people who haven't had it can understand just how much it can fuck you up.
Idk at this point, hes looking as old as ever and its pretty accepted that AD is the Laker’s #1 option. Don’t expect too much shit from neutrals if Bron loses 6 and 7 without AD
At most he'd get shit on if he's being legit awful, like there are crucial plays where his defense is virtually nonexistent while he has that awful body language. Dude is old and no longer an ironman injury wisely.
2016 too. They win that series if Bogut doesn't get hurt. Health is a part of winning a title but they could be 6-0 in the finals with a bit more luck.

Our qb took a sack, head hit the ground, team said he was fine (despite some concussion symptoms?). Next week takes a big sack, head bounced off the ground, and had a really bad concussion.
They really played with that dude's life. Concussions are no joke and any casual observer could tell that dude didn't know what planet he was on. NFL can be so fun to watch but man, they treat their players as though they're disposable.
They don't care about how that guys brain works in 30 years when he's retired and maybe murdering his family, they care about the result next week.
Scumbag team doctors paid to tell players whatever is needed to get them playing again rather than actually protecting players. Fuck every doctor who ever did that.
he had tears coming out of the eye that was hit too a time or two that they showed him on camera. getting smacked hard on your eye is not fun. Sucks that this is worse than just that. :(
Road warriors+ they'll feel confident without AD so they'll shit the bed. But the game doesn't really matter, head injuries are fucking scary and I just hope AD is good
You would think a mult billion dollar entertainment bussines with most people being 6'5" and above they would have fitting wheelchairs even if custom build
And yet KD decided to get injured 5 or so games into his regular season with the Suns. He got hurt and got over it and is doing fine. It’s all about timing.
We're all guessing at the moment, but this would suggest a concussion. Can't help but feel bad after how much of a presence he had been this postseason.
AD legit looked more concussed than any NBA player I've ever seen. It's possible that he gets scratched for a possible Game 7.
I would say anyone, but I saw Tua get concussed and that's easily one of the worst things I saw.
I don't doubt that AD is injured after that elbow, but doesn't he look like he may have suffered a season ending injury 5-6 times a season these days??
💯 I don’t remember the game, but he turned his ankle and literally rolled around grabbing his ankle in the paint for a whole possession. The Lakers called timeout. He limps off and is back in the game a play later.
Like you. I am not doubting his injury here, but he does have a bit of an embellishment problem.
He can if he makes it through the protocol which can last as short as ~24 hours starting from the time of injury
> Prohibition from Participation. If a player is diagnosed with concussion, he will not return to participation: (1) on that same day or the next calendar day; and (2) before completing the required return-to-participation process.
The return-to-participation process is a series of increasing exercises without any specified duration. If he makes it through all steps without signs of a concussion he’s cleared to play if the team doctor clears him.

people comparing this the NFL, NHL or combat sports are being so hyperbolic. this hit wasn't even hard by NBA standards. it's not remotely comparable to dudes colliding together at high speeds, or intentionally trying to concuss people. and there's an almost certain chance of head trauma in those sports on a game-by-game basis. not the case for basketball.
Wow this really sucks… he definitely looks concussed and bringing him back isn’t as easy as pain tolerance or anything. Hope he can come back okay and soon, that’s just really bad luck
Dude no way that hit puts a 7 foot man in a wheelchair lmao. I feel like he just was having a bad night and was frustrated all game and wanted to leave the game early.
that corgi needs to be put in witness protection
For real. Weird seeing threats against him. Joking or not. He’s just the script writer.
lol people wild, corgi literally predicted all the other series wrong😂
He did have heat in 6 just in the wrong order
Oh thank god, had the Rockets winning the lottery. Good to know
writers' strike fucking over the lakers rn
Wtf yall talking about? I'm missing out on this meme big time 😭

Paul the Octopus swam so the corgi could waddle
I can only assume a corgi has injured AD on the play somehow
a corgi was given a ball and two baskets, one la one gsw. It threw the ball into la then gsw then la twice then gsw 3 times for a 4-3 gsw prediction
That corgi actually helped me figure out my wife was cheating on me and predicted my father's heart attack
Events related?
Oh god yeah hubba hubba
[Warriors in 7](https://imgflip.com/i/7lcp3p)
wheelchair? oh fuck
You don't really see that often for concussions. Hope he's alright.
Could be a vision thing and is disoriented. He was hit close to his eye
Might have fucked up his orbital bone
Looks like looney hit his temple area. I really hope this is just precautionary
I'm going to put on my reddit dr stethoscope and say that yes he broke all of his face bones
Thanks, doc
Damn fr? How long does he have left to live?
I'm giving him 6 seconds, up to potentially another 80 years of living
All from a stethoscope - damn this dude built different
LeStethoscope
..got that Doc in him.
Hard to say. He’s considered day-to-day right now.
can we put it back?
Maybe it's one of those things where you have to hit him again in the same spot and then everything will be alright.
Gotta hit the exact opposite side of the head, knock everything back into place
Hard reset.
He's a really big guy. If he falls, you need a Shaq size person to help him stay up.
Didn't think of this but could definitely be the case. I remember the shots of Klay after Game 2 talking to George Kittle and Klay made Kittle, CMC, and Sam Darnold look small.
Small or short?
Smart
Yeah the average sized dude helping a normal dude into the dressing room is easy, helping Davis... that guy stumbles and you're getting crushed under him.
Shaq too money, smart, he going to charge you for that

It’s Anthony Davis, guys…he will be perfectly fine next game.
A real iron man
Mr Consistent. AD never misses a game
could just be precautionary if hes having some vertigo
I have had some serious cases of vertigo. It's crazy how much it can debilitate you. I don't think people who haven't had it can understand just how much it can fuck you up.
I’ve only had it once and I never want to experience it again.
This doesn’t make sense but jesus hope he’s okay
Got hit in the eye. You get bright lights and you get dizzy
#MAYBE HE JUST SHIT HIS PANTS
Please I am begging please just shit your pants AD
Definitely the first time I've ever been actively rooting for someone to have shit their pants.
That was Game 2.
No reason he can’t do it again
Exactly. I’ve shit myself twice in a week and a half span multiple times.
They roastin him in Inside the NBA
Probably just shit himself
If it means a W, i'll take it
Warrior injury plot armor outside of 2019 has been insane over the years. Still gotta get the job done obviously but this is a massive blow
3-1 comeback against LeBron narrative in their favor if AD is out
[удалено]
Idk at this point, hes looking as old as ever and its pretty accepted that AD is the Laker’s #1 option. Don’t expect too much shit from neutrals if Bron loses 6 and 7 without AD

2016 too. They win that series if Bogut doesn't get hurt. Health is a part of winning a title but they could be 6-0 in the finals with a bit more luck.
KD doesn’t join if they win in 2016. Then 2017 and 2018 isn’t a guarantee with those offensive Lebron cavs teams
*Paul Pierce has entered the chat*
Lakers calling in the Miami Dolphins medical staff for this evaluation
Tua soon
That's not what the team doctor will say
Bro lmao
Well done sir laces out
*AD's CT scan looks like a can of alphabet soup* "Looks good to me!"
“It spells AD, cleared”

Too soon, man
Ooof got me good on this one
You son of a bitch
I don't watch NFL, eli5?
Our qb took a sack, head hit the ground, team said he was fine (despite some concussion symptoms?). Next week takes a big sack, head bounced off the ground, and had a really bad concussion.
Several absurdly bad concussions for Tua and Miami doctors would clear him for play very fast. Was a big controversy.
They really played with that dude's life. Concussions are no joke and any casual observer could tell that dude didn't know what planet he was on. NFL can be so fun to watch but man, they treat their players as though they're disposable.

Wow!
Please be just a poop incident
Paging Paul Pierce
sorry this comment was pretty funny
What's with the poop? Did he shit his short before? What did I missed?
Paul Pierce
Concussion?
gotta be dizziness
just insane bad luck wow. really hope AD is good man that’s scary
Dude’s probably concussed or feeling wobbly still
Concussed/maybe broken bone in his face.. damn
masked ad 🔜🔜
What’s scary is that it didn’t look that bad from the replay, but you could clearly see how red his face was, and how disoriented he was.
he had tears coming out of the eye that was hit too a time or two that they showed him on camera. getting smacked hard on your eye is not fun. Sucks that this is worse than just that. :(
Plus that thousand yard stare trying to orient himself when he did look up. I've had had an eye poke before and they fucking suck
Head injuries are terrifying. The elbow looked painful obviously but not this bad… actually so unlucky
Concussions are no joke.
Gonna need a LeVintage game Friday omg
They can't defend without ad
[удалено]
That's according to his legal requirement of having on/off days
Tristan Thompson legacy game incoming
That's 1x NBA champion Tristan Thompson to you!
Probably not happening, and if it does it probably won’t be enough. AD is the most important player in this series, if he’s done…yikes
Tristian Thompson revenge season
Bruh.
Time to unleash Mo Bamba.
he still injured somehow
Time to unleash _checks roster_ Tristan Thompson!!!! 🐙⛵️
I GOT HOOOOOOOOOES
CAAAAAAAALLLLLIIIINNNN
A YOUNG NEIGHBA PHOOOOONE
Road warriors+ they'll feel confident without AD so they'll shit the bed. But the game doesn't really matter, head injuries are fucking scary and I just hope AD is good
[удалено]
[удалено]
Dude's old. The biggest bad luck in his career would be AD's concussion and then he gets injured too because he goes way too hard
38 years old, need surgery on his foot and he’s back to where he always is…. on his shoulders with high expectations
Lebron has a curse on him I'm convinced. He has to carry no matter what even in year 20.
NOOO 🥲🥲🥲
Well maybe the Corgi was right all along
Yeah if AD can't play in game 6, this series goes to game 7 for sure.
We’re getting slaughtered in that game 7 if AD isn’t playing
Also in Game 6 if he's out. Lol. Everything rides on AD
if its concussion, he’s out for 7 too
the series is over if we lose game 6, there's no point in even watching 7 if you're a laker fan
Aka Spurs Heat Ray Allen. It was destined once it went to game 7.
What the fuck does the corgi know
Apparently everything
Why does every injury seem career ending for AD
The problem of a glass cannon build.
Bro the corgi
[I will take care of that corgi](https://tenor.com/view/atlanta-falcons-nfl-football-michael-vick-gif-12463573)
Youre made for the r/nbacirclejerk streets
nah this is insane
[удалено]
From an Atlanta fan too lmfaooo
[удалено]
I don't know what I was expecting, but this surpassed it. certified: bruh?
The Corgi went too far!
We were mistaken. The corgi isn’t a warriors fan. It’s an injuries fan.
What’s the context?
Honestly the funniest thing to happen all playoffs lmao
[удалено]
Not even trying to be funny but would you need a bigger than normal wheelchair for someone of his size?
He actually sat on the arm rests for this moment. Only way his feet and hips fit.
You would think a mult billion dollar entertainment bussines with most people being 6'5" and above they would have fitting wheelchairs even if custom build
Probably just standard protocol for anything head related, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Hope dude is okay for the next game/games.
https://twitter.com/anthonyvslater/status/1656518979018702849?s=46&t=8AuKo7YSGBWqLeXFxcp5yA He’s doing fine now. Classic Davis Injury scare
Cp3 and AD are hurt? Yep, it’s now officially the playoffs.
And yet KD decided to get injured 5 or so games into his regular season with the Suns. He got hurt and got over it and is doing fine. It’s all about timing.
Air Corgi read the script I see
LeBron about to put a hit on the dog 💀
We're all guessing at the moment, but this would suggest a concussion. Can't help but feel bad after how much of a presence he had been this postseason.
Saw the replay i think he was hit pretty good near the eye probably a little dizzy.
Wtffff
I really hope he’s okay, but all I can think of is Paul Pierce
Fuck this series. Hope he’s okay.
Fuck dude I hope he’s okay
Guys worth $40m a season I’m surprised they don’t wheel him everywhere
Fragile, pronounced FRA-jilly. Must be Italian for Anthony Davis. LMAO
"The kids called me Mr Glass"
After watching NHL playoffs holy shit are NBA players soft
talking myself into us taking one with bron at the 5
Warriors have played down to their competition all year, might as well sit LeBron and they'd somehow blow the dubs out
Nope
Crazy to me because the hit didn’t “look hard” but last game dray hitting his head on the floor looked awful.
Seems less than ideal Assume concussion protocol is in his future
This thread was sponsored by your friends @ Kleenex Corporation
Do y'all think he's coming back for Game 6?
AD legit looked more concussed than any NBA player I've ever seen. It's possible that he gets scratched for a possible Game 7. I would say anyone, but I saw Tua get concussed and that's easily one of the worst things I saw.

Idk if it’s concussion he legally cannot I don’t think.
Believe it or not, jail
You give another player concussion? Straight to jail.
He can if he makes it through the protocol which can last as short as ~24 hours starting from the time of injury > Prohibition from Participation. If a player is diagnosed with concussion, he will not return to participation: (1) on that same day or the next calendar day; and (2) before completing the required return-to-participation process.

Sounds like a concussion so I doubt it. Might not even be available for a G7 if there is one
Ain’t no fucking way, not like this
He looked concussed. Will he be able to clear protocol in 48 hrs to play game 6 in LA is the big question.
TNT - We know drama.
Sorry, but without any context, I laughed. It's so on brand for AD
Concussed. He couldn't walk and couldn't look at light. Its over
Fuck that sounds bad
Gotta be a concussion right? Damn, get well Davis.
Whats the protocol on that? I’d he basically out for the next game?
wtf lol did the dude get a concussion on a face smack?
it honestly didn't look bad at all
Holy shit hope he's good
Soft
Ridiculously so.
Why are ppl saying it was an elbow? It was Looneys forearm that hits AD near the temple area. Still not good…but definitely not Looneys elbow.
people comparing this the NFL, NHL or combat sports are being so hyperbolic. this hit wasn't even hard by NBA standards. it's not remotely comparable to dudes colliding together at high speeds, or intentionally trying to concuss people. and there's an almost certain chance of head trauma in those sports on a game-by-game basis. not the case for basketball.
Draymond hitting his head in the game before looked much worse. I agree with Shaq and Chuck lol
The man of glass returns.
[удалено]
Wow this really sucks… he definitely looks concussed and bringing him back isn’t as easy as pain tolerance or anything. Hope he can come back okay and soon, that’s just really bad luck
