Ryan Rollins‘ rookie season is expected to come to an early end, according to the Warriors, who announced in a press release that the first-year guard is undergoing surgery to repair a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
The procedure, which is scheduled to take place this Wednesday, will likely keep Rollins sidelined for the remainder of the 2022/23 season, according to the team.
The 44th overall pick in the 2022 draft, Rollins appeared in just 12 games this season for the Warriors and played a very limited role, scoring 23 points in 62 total minutes.
Rollins averaged 18.9 PPG, 6.0 RPG and 3.6 APG for Toledo as a sophomore last season before declaring for the draft as an early entrant. Golden State sent $2MM in cash to Atlanta during the draft to move up from No. 51 to No. 44 to nab him.
However, Rollins’ rookie season got off to an ominous start when he was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot shortly after being drafted. The injury, which was discovered during a medical evaluation that was part of Rollins’ on-boarding process, affected the same bone that he’s now undergoing surgery on.
Rollins’ three-year contract with the Warriors includes a fully guaranteed minimum salary for 2023/24, so he’s on track to remain on the club’s roster for next season.
Jones fracture does not take that long to heal. One “foot” out the door, I think. Nite nite warriors
people love to jump on anything negative regarding gsw. they are a modern dynasty and people hate that. as a fan since ’75, I can assure you that I went through decades of being the laughing stock of the league. that being said…..I get it. im not ever jumping ship tho. even if they were never to win the chip again…cant take away the 4 they already have.
Almost 6!!! If you take the shot from Kyrie and Klay Durant getting hurt
I dont want the burden of “what if” giants guy. I wanted just ont title in my lifetime…..im good
All I’m saying is that a Jones fracture is not a season ending injury when we haven’t even hit the all star break. With curry out have to wonder if they have a little tank in them. Then again look what they did with those high first rounders…*cough* Wiseman *cough*
LbC – Ton of Gsw bandwagoners have kinda built the hate on the warriors
They are usually very uninformed ( new ) fans – Quite a few in here to be honest
But yea very admirable what that front office has done
@lil d…He has has the injury for 6 months now. It hasn’t healed. It is obviously more serious than your arm-chair diagnosis. It really probably is season ending.
Ryan Hollins or Ryan Rollins, who you taking in their prime?
Definitely Rollins
Curry is out for 3 weeks or 6 weeks? Warriors will need to clarify
My sources tell me he will be out until he is healthy enough to play.
Terrible timing. Rollins might have gotten a little playing time with Curry on the shelf.
Especially with Ty Jerome’s 2-Way Contract number of games Limit fast approaching.
Maybe they Convert Jerome’s Contract now to a rest-of-the year Contract now that they are super thin behind Poole the next few weeks?
Or, get Carsen Edwards on speed dial. Always been intrigued with him.
Carsen Edwards? No thanks. If they are going to go that route (a very undersized two guard masquerading as a point guard and who can’t play defense) they might as well bring Mac McClung back. At least he can be entertaining in garbage time.
They should give Mac a 10 day
