Breaking: Nate McMillan Ruptures Achilles Practicing With Team

This is seriously not a joke. He had to practice with the team today because of their injury woes and ruptured his own achilles in the process. I'm seriously laughing hysterically yet completely speechless and baffled.

The rest of the team better start working zone box out drills in bubble suits...
