But still unknown if his core would have held up to a 17 game season... those damn core injuries seem to recur a lot
The "injury prone" description (in general) seems a little farcical when you look at what the injuries actually were.
He had a 'core muscle' injury in 2023 (that held up in 2024,) and he broke his collarbone in 2024. To me, that simply looks like bad luck. Heck Nico has a worse injury history than Kirk does.
Now I don't expect him to put up another 1000 yard season like 2022, but I think he'll fit in very well with the 'quick game' that I expect Caley to install.
