He’s day to day. “Thoracic contusion”, not a concussion.

anybody know why fans are only in the end lines and not on the courtside?
Can someone please explain to me what level league he’s in now, how many there are in Europe, and the likelihood of him moving up? Thanks!

Trent plays for KK FMP in Belgrade, Serbia, which is part of the Adriatic (ABA) League (this is a regional league with teams from Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.
An ESPN article ranks this league as the 8th best in Europe: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18470135/fran-fraschilla-rankings-world-top-12-basketball-leagues-nba

Great information on a confusing topic, thanks
Note that article seems to be from 2017 so rankings may have shifted
I believe ABA or Adriatic League is consider to be top tier Euro, but bottom of that tier. There are 9 to 10 leagues that are considered top tier Euro leagues, with Spain as the top Euro league. Euro hoops is generally classified into 5 tiers, with nearly 100 pro to semi-pro leagues.

- ties will be resolved
Trent's gonna need a bigger boat...for his next contract.

Bulls and Nets on TNT 7:30 EDT right now.
Ayo cleared to play (start?)
Ayo cleared to play (start?)
Ayo, barring injuries, is a 10-15 year pro. Love his work ethic.
And I love the fact that he gets the opportunity to work with DeMar DeRozan.
Ayo doing it all in the 4th quarter tonight
Ayo with a solid game tonight for sure. Offense is going thru him. His defense on Kyrie is big time.
17 points on 7-11 shooting.
His defensive assignment, Kyrie Irving? 4 points on 2-12 shooting.
Elite.
I just hope Kyrie’s lunacy isn’t contagious
I'm sure all the off the court stuff with Kyrie and the Nets right now had nothing to do with it either.

When does Kyrie not have off-the-court stuff though?
There was that one time back in like ‘99

Thanks, kobd. Great game, Ayo. Love the +12 +/-, highest on the team.
I think we saw some flashes of that in a couple games but he was never the #1 scoring option after his freshman year and was rarely even the #2 scoring option. He had a role to play and he did it well. You kind of see that with Ayo in the NBA but in reverse. While you see flashes, he's not as aggressive there as he was in college because that's not his role.
