"I'll go talk to him."
Chen Yu sighed and went to find J Kidd.
Just then, he ran into Nelson and Skiles, who had hurried over.
When he heard it was a bulging disc, Nelson was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.
Before the game, J Kidd had looked to be in good condition, and Nelson had been planning to let him play. If Chen Yu hadn't arrived and discovered the problem, who knows what more serious issues might have arisen if he had played without any treatment.
Skiles's brow furrowed. "So, will he be able to play again?"
Bird retired early at age 35, his career tormented by back injuries caused by a herniated disc.
Chen Yu said, "Playing isn't the problem, of course. Right now, it's just a bulge, and it's not pressing on any nerves, so it won't affect his ability to play. But he'll need to be careful and protect it to keep it from getting worse."
J Kidd's current condition was nowhere near the point where he couldn't play.
