Searching Twitter for news on Deandre Ayton’s injury, and half the results are gamblers whining that he didn’t get any rebounds.

The shot Jokic just hit over Deandre Ayton was specifically penance for the 2021 playoffs. – 9:25 PM

More on this storyline
“He just brings an energy and intensity,” Anfernee Simons said of Ayton. “When he’s playing like that with so much energy and so much fire, it can be contagious for sure. Obviously we are playing well and we are on a good run. DA has been playing well and everybody has been having their good moments of playing well too. Him just coming in every night for the past couple of weeks and playing his butt off, his energy is contagious, so I would attribute it to that.” -via Blazer Banter / February 5, 2025
Danny Marang: “He’s been the biggest voice on the team – he’s been leading. DA was such a big deal – it was probably what won us the game (getting out of their small ball lineup).” – Billups on Ayton tonight -via Bluesky / February 4, 2025
