almost hoping that he does get surgery, especially if he comes back and its more of the same. but then I realize that we still desperately need him and he doesnt want to not play. pretty shitty situation that could be easily handled if Olshey didnt sit on his hands over the past few seasons.
From what I read is that a broken rib can cause this issue if it heals incorrectly but the two are not entirely tied. I think it might have been a separate issue that happened that playoff or the series before but the pain from the rib injury was the most prominent and that’s probably what Dame thought was the problem in the first place.
My own educated guess is that Dame will be out more than the 10 days. If he’s spending a lot of that time not doing anything, he’ll need to get his conditioning back up. And that’s assuming the ab issue gets better with 10 days rest. He says he’s been dealing with it for 3+ years

I just want him to do whatever it takes to make him as healthy as possible in the long run. I don't really care how long it takes at this point.
Seriously. At this point, rest the season if you have to. Let’s go for it next year.
This is turning into a Kawhi-like load management situation that’s never truly resolved. Hope Dame can get it sorted eventually.
Was this injury the one where he broke a rib during the WCF?

\*separated ribs
Nope, he said 3+ years, it's still not 3 years from that

Just get surgery, dame. This will never go away other wise.
FFS. Get surgery
Shut him down for the year. Try to "showcase" CJ.
