After Suffering An Avocado Injury (You Read That Right) And Attempted Murder By Kristaps, Andre Drummond Alerts Us He's 'Still Here. Woke Up This Morning.'
Let's put it this way, last night was weird for Andre Drummond. This was his response to said weirdness and honestly it's an A+ tweet. So we got news that Drummond was a game-time decision to play the Mavs due to an avocado injury. Yes, a real avocado injury.
First off, this might be a hot take but avocados suck. I may be the only millennial or person in our 30s that says that, but just not a fan. I can do without guac, I can do without avocado all over my plate. So chalk me up as never suffering an avocado injury, especially down in Mexico. Can't imagine what eye swelling in Mexico would be like, but it can't be pleasant.
But credit to Drummond, he's basketball tough so he played despite eye swelling. But, uh, then this happened:
Yikes. Just a bad day for Drummond but at least he's self aware and tweets out a joke. Don't buy into the RIP hype. Although part of me wished he missed the game due to avocado injury, that'd be one of the weirdest injury stories in sports history. It's up there with Sammy Sosa injuring himself sneezing, Joba Chamberlain jumping on a trampoline and Joel Zumaya hurting himself playing Guitar Hero.
