Fan Reactions
- One fan commented on X (formerly Twitter):
Obviously Bam going down was unexpected but still competing vs the #1 offense and a top 5 defense is still so much to build off of. Last year's team would've lost by 35. There shouldn’t ever be a rebound disparity of 20 rebounds that deflating and gives the other team more attempts.
- Another fan added:
Was always gonna be tough with Bam. Made impossible once he didn’t come back in. Proud of the effort the group showed.. hopefully Nikola Jokic can give Niko some advice while he's there. Hopefully Bam’s injury isn’t too bad, but the fact there wasn’t an update concerns me.
