 Ooh, it is official. It is time for Shom Scoops. Look, last time we all hung out, we found out Dremont Green's suspension. It's indefinite. Shoms, any news there? Yeah, there's an update. I'm told Dremont Green has begun counseling and people around, the warriors, people around Dremont Green, they see that there's a level of understanding and really grasping that there's a process that he's gonna go through and undergo to make sure that he's gonna return under a full capacity. He's been feeling bad about what transpired. And I'm told the expectation is that Green will remain sideline via suspension for at least the next three to four weeks. And that means that his suspension was stretched at least approximately 12 games. And at that point, making sure that when he's back, he is actually back. There's not gonna be a blip. There's not gonna be a recurrence of any more from Dremont Green. And I think this process, from what I'm told, it'll also consist of regular check-ins with the warriors, with the league, as him, the team, his agent Rich Paul, the league worked together on his return process. But it's gonna be at least the next few weeks for Dremont Green. Chandler, what do you think about it? I mean, I heard Shaq the other day talking about, you know, this is just Dremont. This is how Dremont is. But then he is getting some sort of a help. What do you think? Well, I think he's taken the proper measures to get better, right? He's starting therapy and the growth of him becoming a better person is hopefully on his way. And now when he comes back, is he gonna be fully changed? Or is he gonna, you know, still have that temper and get tossed or get attack, you know, right away? I guess we'll wait and see. But I'm happy that he's taken the proper steps because, again, we say this isn't about basketball anymore. This is about him becoming a better person. Because if this lingers, and this lingers into his personal life or this lingers off the court, then he's looking at some real issues. So he's gotta get this under control. This is more important than the NBA, or this is more important than any game or fine. He's gotta get better as a human being and as a person. And he seems to be taking all the right measures to get there. So hopefully it's not just a PR stunt. And hopefully he's actually bettering himself during this time. Shoms, we're gonna talk Bradley Beal here. I can't believe I'm about to ask you this again, but a different injury this time against the Knicks, what can you tell us about his status? Nasty right ankle sprain. It looked really bad. Good news for Bradley Beal, his X-rays MRI showed no fracture in his ankle. But I'm told he's gonna be out at least likely a few weeks, at least three weeks for Bradley Beal that he'll be sidelined. He's only played six games this season. It's just another setback. He's dealt with back issues. We've talked about there's been nerve issues with his back. And now there's this ankle issue. The son's big three just got back on the floor last Wednesday. They were playing in their second game. They haven't even played two full games together as a big deal with Kevin Durant, Devon Booker and Bradley Beal. And now Bradley Beal is gonna be out at least the next three weeks potentially. So it's a tough setback for Bradley Beal and he's gonna have to rehab just another injury. It's a long, it's a growing list, Chandler. I mean, if you're Bradley Beal, if you're the team, how do you deal with this list that continues to get longer, not shorter? Well, this is just brutal, right? Cause this is a freak injury. And when you work and you grind so hard just to put yourself in the situation to get back and then something like this happens where it's just completely out of your control and you land on a guy's foot. And now you have to deal with that. Now it's a separate kind of agenda that you have to take. And I know he's feeling the pressure and the expectations and think about how much we all wanna see this big three together. And it sucks because the timing of it, as a team, they need to get these reps that are valuable. Yeah, this is ugly. Also, he jumped so high on his jump shot. It's like the worst guy for what happened to. And he made the shot, but it's tough because you grind, you go through all this rehab, all this stuff, and then you finally back all the excitement and then something completely random happens like this. So it takes a toll on you mentally. Brad's a strong dude. He's gonna get back from this, but as a fan, we wanna see this big three, right? We wanna see how good they can be. We talk about the West is wide open. This is probably my favorite team when healthy, if they can get healthy, which seems like they're not gonna for a long time to be there at the end and contend. So I feel for the dude and hopefully he can get back on the floor soon, but this is a tough blow after someone going through all of this rehab for his back to have this happen to him. Yeah, and the other thing with Lou is, I always wonder as fans, we look at some players as just being injury prone. Unfortunately, they have bad luck, right? They get the bug. And I wonder as a team, when he does slowly make his way back from this injury, how cautious do you have to be? I don't know if you'll be cautious with an ankle injury, especially if it's like a high ankle sprain or something like that. Once he's available to play again, those injuries are usually not something that's gonna be reoccurring. That's something that you're gonna re-aggravate. When you're over an ankle sprain or a high ankle sprain, it's usually over and done with by the time you're back on the basketball court. And listen, once he's back, we're talking about another month from now, three weeks to a month from now, I don't think they have the luxury of waiting. I think they gotta start really juicing this group up and get them going to the group that they're gonna need to be in the postseason. So cautious, I don't know if they go on a side of that. I think they just put them out there and play the regular minutes that he was capable of playing. He was out with a back injury. He was playing upwards of 25 to 30 minutes. So I don't see that being an issue when he comes back. Shoms, we also have a lot of injuries coming out of Cleveland. Like it seems something bad is going on in the air up there. What's the latest with the Cavs? Two significant injuries. One, Darius Garland, their star guard. He's gonna be out at least four weeks. He's got a fractured jaw. Then Evan Mobley, their big man. He's gonna be out six to eight weeks with knee surgery. So these are two key players that are gonna be gone for significant periods of time. They had just won nine of 12 games on a recent stretch. And then they lose three in a row. Then they won Saturday night. So that's a positive that they at least won. But the Donovan Mitchell side of all of this, he's gonna be a topic. He's definitely a topic among teams around the league this year and next season left on his contract. And the Cavaliers know this about Donovan Mitchell. He wants to win, he wants to win big. He wants to compete for a championship. And this team right now is really in that playoff, play-in race. And if they do drop out, I think a lot of teams are gonna be looking into the Cavs. And now this is a team that's been hovering around 500. We're just past the 25 game mark. And so I think these are just two significant injuries for them that they'll have to deal with. Man, those are big ones. And I'm wondering Chandler, we always hear about the Donovan Mitchell overall. He wanted to be a Nick. These injuries are probably not helping whatever that situation is in Cleveland. Do you think something comes out of that? Do we hear more murmurs? I think so. I think that we're gonna continue to hear these rumors of are they moving him? He's unhappy. Cause there's something going on here, right? There's a disconnect. You don't just take this kind of fall-off from last year, getting home court advantage. I understand they lost to the Knicks in the first round, but this is a great young team with a core that I would think would want to continue to grow together. When you look at Mobley and Garland and Donovan, Karris, Jared Allen, they have the talent. They have the pieces and they can continue to get better. They have the coach. I think JV Biggerstaff is the guy for this job. But yeah, when your main guy, Donovan Mitchell, you hear all this stuff and there's murmurs, how he wants out and he's kind of, it's leaking into the locker room. There's issues with him. And then on top of that, now your other two best players are out. Every, it feels like the world's coming down on you. So this is a team that I think had high expectations that we thought would make that jump after last season. And they've gone the other way, which usually results in sort of move. So if I'm them, I'm listening because I don't want to get him the option just to leave and walk and get nothing for him when you can probably get a boatload for him right now. I'll tell you what though, Chandler, I'm listening, but I'm not hitting the panic button yet. This is a team that, my dog's jumping on me right now, but this is a team that's, this is a team that's two and a half games out of the four spot, man. And so even though they're sitting at eight, they put a good week together, put a couple of good two weeks together, they put themselves in a pretty competitive spot. And so am I listening? Yes, if I'm the Cleveland Cavaliers and I'm looking at all the turmoil that we're going through, of course, I'm listening to offers because like Chandler said, I may be able to get a boatload of assets for him. But at the same time, I'm still trying to compete until that day. And so, you know, they're in a tricky spot. The only problem is they now have to do that without Garland and Mobley, which is, that's a tall task. But you still got, you still got down on the Mitchell, you still got a shot. Shams, the world awaits, the news will break. We will see you tomorrow bright and early.
