The Mavericks denied Lakers coach JJ Redick‘s claim that they botched Austin Reaves‘ MRI, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
Reaves underwent an MRI on his left oblique/rib area on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s game in Dallas after suffering the injury against Oklahoma City on Thursday. Redick told the media that Reaves had to get two MRIs done because the first one didn’t focus on the correct portion of his body.
“I don’t know where the chain of command lies with Dallas imaging, but they scanned the wrong area,” Redick said. “Not on our end. We made it explicit what was supposed to be scanned, but they scanned the wrong area.”
The Mavericks issued an official statement that they didn’t make a mistake administering an MRI on Reaves.
“Our medical team followed standard imaging protocols based on the information provided at the time,” the statement read. “There was no error in the scan performed.”
Reaves was eventually diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain, which is expected to sideline him for four-to-six weeks.
Like Wagoneers deny they Botched the 42nd pick LOLS ……. Washied__bon r where you hiding.
Come enjoy life as a Kings fan for once ——-
Raynaud — best big man in draft. 17 pts 7 rebs.
Kings bouncing back. There is a Carter sighting .
Bad teams can’t close out games. Who was even playing for Kings. I mean really. Good comeback I guess.
^It’s perhaps the least surprising thing ever that this guy stans for the modern Enes Kanter.
“Best big man in the draft”
No credible front office is taking Raynaud over Collin Murray-Boyles, Derik Queen, or Ryan Kalkbrennar.
Okay so he suffered the injury on Thursday? And they waited until Saturday to do something about it before a game on Sunday? And they relied on the Mavericks medical staff rather than their own or a completely neutral medical staff. Like anyone correct me if I’m wrong but there has to be more efficient ways to go about this.
Teams will generally go with the opposing team’s doctors if an injury happens on the road, as their own doctors aren’t traveling with the team.
“a completely neutral medical staff.”
…You do understand what malpractice is, right?
