Tyrese Haliburton injures left knee ...

Luke Walton more and more seems like he has many of the same mannerisms as his Dad, Bill. Not saying that is a bad thing. I like Bill Walton, great player as well, very contemplative speaker.

How is Luke as a Coach? Anybody know how he's doing, besides just the Kings record and such?

Kings fans want him fired at the end of the year and are less than impressed with his coaching ability

Most years he gets the ROTY award, but unfortunately this year there are a lot of old guys with severe boners for the young Ball brother. Hope he doesn’t have any structural damage and get be back to fully healthy by mid-summer. He has a great future ahead of him with unlimited potential.

That is because Ball is really good and the only thing holding him back is the number of games he has missed. Ball is the best rookie this year when he is playing with Haliburton a close second.

Kings fans are dumb. They need better talent. I like Fox and Haliburton but they need to upgrade at a lot of positions. They also paid Hield way too much money.

LaMelo definitely deserves the award based on his play. Coming back for this final stretch run of the season should guarantee him the award.

Moot point now but if LaMelo would of been out for the year after mid March I don't see how he would be qualified for ROY. Would of missed nearly half the season in that case.

I honestly don’t understand why

They make a stink, espn makes money.

Are we just ignoring Anthony Edwards?

Love me some Tyrese, but 13ppg doesn't 'normally' win the ROTY.

He has the benefit in being what i would call a below average draft class as well.

Thank you Tyrese for a great season! You will 100% be on the First Team NBA All-Rookie Team.

Midway through the year I thought Tyrese had a shot to catch Ball. Edwards picked up a lot of steam though, whereas Tyrese mainly leveled off. Nothing wrong with being in the for sure top 3 discussion though.

Sounds like Tyrese did avoid a bad injury. Hoping he has a speedy recovery.

The Ringer just put up article on him yesterday... didn't think it needed it's own thread but good reelection on his drive. Sure he'll attack the rehab with the same drive.

Tyrese Haliburton was surprised by his fall in the 2020 draft, but proving people wrong has become a necessary step in every part of his basketball career. Now the Rookie of the Year contender is hoping to change the perception of a Kings franchise that will miss the playoffs for a 15th straight...
