All I know for sure is that a while back the media asked AD what was his favorite holiday? And he responded; "That's easy, Jrue!" So love him or hate him, glad he is here.

The terminology and the lack of acknowledging the re-injury of said injury over a 2 year span really put the brake on this spin control. He's not injury prone, but he clearly HAD an injury issue for 2 years as it wasn't healing properly and we get little worth out of his bargain bin contract at the time. Does he have an injury issue at the moment... Clearly no. Was he ever injury prone... No.
One extremely complex injury that required additional surgeries to finish fixing it. That is not injury prone. That's called modern medicine. They had to remove screws that were put into it because he was having pain due to them. There would be absolutely no way of knowing that the screws would cause pain in his leg until he started to play extended basketball.
The point is irrelevant what contract he was on. He was not and never has been injury prone nor had an "injury issue". Injury issue in what we are discussing is multiple occurring instances of Jrue being injured. That is 100% inaccurate. Outside of the two seasons he was battling his one major injury that required multiple surgeries he has never played less than 65 games. That's over 9 seasons of NBA games.
Those games are missed due to injury. Recovery is apart of injury management. If Jrue was healthy he'd be playing. Limited mins or d league, but he'd be playing. If a player miss a large amount of games due to an injury you are injury prone regardless if it the same injury or it's injury management.
What, once? One bad injury and you're injury prone? That's a weird definition...

Jrue had a great season, but to be considered a star player you need to do it for multiple seasons. Before this past year it was back in 2012-13 when Jrue made the All Star team and looked like a future star. If he has the same type of season like I believe he will again this year then he may get more notice nationally. It wasn’t all that long ago that some thought the 76ers got over on us and shipped us damaged goods.
Just seen video of him Justin and Frank Jackson working out. Jrue got some hops. And Frank looking ready to go.
