Yeah, happened during a game. Fallen on and taken out at the knee. Fractured leg and sprained MCL. Happened in late November. His injury hurt us the most, as I think he was the most critical piece in us winning games.

We lost 9 in a row in November when Ross was in the lineup.  Injuries are not what make us a bad team.

he was really play bad before the injury but his defense was a big plus If I remember

He was missing shots but his reputation helped with spacing and he was great on defense.

And most importantly, when Ross was healthy it allowed Simmons to be 6th man where he thrived.

9-13 with Ross, 13-40 without.

That was when we were hurt and playing almost exclusively playoff teams almost exclusively on the road.

Didn’t Simmons start with Ross healthy? Frank’s an idiot

"He [Ross] goes a lot of times where he plays the whole first half with zero field-goal attempts or one field-goal attempt. He’s capable of more than that. He's not really lost. He’s making the right play. He’s just one of the guys that doesn’t force. We’ve got too many guys that force.”

That's true.  But those numbers are skewed by the fast start that we had, which turned out to be unsustainable.  Some of the other points being made above are also correct, but the conclusion that we were "thriving" with Ross is just wrong.  We were well into our tailspin by the time he went out.
