sprain

I’m grateful to everyone who reads and shares this tradition, through all your family games, neighborhood feuds, sprained ankles, surgically-repaired shoulders, weddings, graduations, funerals, babies and at least three confused Aaron Rodgers franchises.

Cronin went back to his normal starting lineup with the exception of forward Tyler Bilodeau, who was out after spraining his left knee in practice Thursday.

Hayes was listed as probable on the initial injury report with a right ankle sprain, but was upgraded to available after the shootaround.

The only thing that’s slowed him down is injuries: a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion suffered in the second game of the season in which he still put up 49 points.

James has been out all season with right sciatica irritation, and Doncic has been out since last Sunday with a left finger sprain and a lower left leg contusion.
