It's all just a huge coincidence. If you were an expert super doctor you'd know he had ice on his ankle because that's his calf.

My 2k season predicted KD being injured in the playoffs with a leg injury. So, following the scary accurate 2k prediction model, I can say with 100% certainty, that Klay will in fact sign with the Grizzlies this off season. 🤓
Oh, and Kyrie to the Clippers. KD went Nets I believe. 🤔

The original injury would have to have been an Achilles strain I think, it can't even been a tear at that point, you can't be doing this 4 weeks after a tear
Sources are saying the Lakers are in advanced stages of negotiating and the hangup appears to be Jeanie Buss' reluctance in giving up her 4th pick....not in the draft but her wine cellar. Stay tuned.
THere's like a 75% chance Jeanie doesn't even know these negotiations are going on
man whats up with all the slander.
first lonzo and now hart. summer league mvps getting no respect

Wouldn't Klay not being eligible for the supermax actually increase his chances of leaving since teams can now offer him the same amount of money as the Warriors?
Sources are saying what really sent Jeanie over the edge was when someone told her Magic didn't even own the movie theaters anymore. You shoulda seen her face
So u would purchase Lakers season tickets and go to their games even if they r not playing Boston?
Also would wear Celtics gear to a Lakers game?
Interesting, so 4/148 vs 4/140 if we are looking at equal years. If I'm the Warriors I'd actually feel comfortable giving Klay 5 years since he's more likely to age well.
It tore on the push off. Look at that zoomed in view they were showing on ESPN. You can see it snap inside his leg on the pushoff, by the time it landed for the pivot it was already done.
I never saw him in crutches or in a boot so his lower leg was probably over compensating that whole month he was off and weakened it.
RIP KD
Looks like he will miss the entire year, probably won't be the same player again either. Should be elite but he's on the wrong side of 30. I wonder if he picks up his option to spend next year rehabbing on the Warriors dime before ditching them in FA.

If I'm him I'm taking a max contract from whichever sucker is willing to pony it up while I rehab. It's too risky to wait out a year and hope for an offer next year which could be way less than he can get now.
Even if Ingram is going to return to form and not deal with blood clots, you want to be the team that maxes him at age 22 and hopes he makes the jump? He isn't the asset Lakers fans like to say he is.
A full year off seems a bit extreme. KD should be able to play by February of next year.
Now that doesn't guarantee he's going to be "old KD", but resting/rehabbing for longer than that likely isn't going to make that much of a difference.

They need ball to get Zion the ball and Ingram to replace AD's production.
I don't know. Achilles injuries have the same rehabilitation time as ACLs. I would imagine he wouldn't want to rush it either.
Rushing somebody back from an Achilles tear is a good way to make sure that person will never fully recover
(Wherever KD is next year -- imo, probably golden state -- they should not be expecting him to suit up)

The most recent example, DeMarcus Cousins, had taken 357 days before finally playing a basketball game (and there are guys before him who took less days). A full year isn't extreme. It just depends on the person's body.
Yeah, that's a good point. Ingram will get a max offer from some desperate team so New Orelans would have to be prepared to pay him 4/$120 or whatever restricted free agents get. Seems like a terrible idea. I'd still pull the trigger if Ingram was just one of many good pieces, though. But if it's Ingram, Ball, and #4, he's one with the best chance of making an All Star team. Not a good enough haul for a top 10 player.
It's not even close. Players come back from ACL tears all the time and are 99% of what they were pre-injury. No NBA player has come back even close to what he once was after blowing an achilles. See: Dominque, Kobe, Cousins, Gay.
Coming back after 7-8 months isn't really "rushing it" though, that's pretty much the standard recovery time + an extra month or two tacked on.
If Ingram doesn't get suspended last year he's probably an All star.
Are you just making up numbers? Because you're way off.
Are you trying to make Gobert cry?
In terms of recovery time though, I meant an ACL tear can be more all over the place in terms of how long it takes to heal.
Kobe came back after 8 months and fractured his knee cap after playing 6 games. I still think he came back too early.
I'd put money on KD sitting all of next year, tbh.
Quite a few athletes do come back from achilles tears after 7-8 months. Kobe Bryant did it and he was about 4 years older at that time IIRC. You can take a year off fully but I don't think it's really after a certain point going to make a big difference in how you can play, it is what it is.
Players come back usually come back in less than a year from an ACL tear and are roughly back to full strength after 2 years. Players come back after roughly a year with an achilles tear and are back to full strength roughly never. In no world is blowing out your achilles preferable to tearing your ACL.
It's rushing. 7-8 months is an incredibly optimistic timeline.
Did Kobe come back from his Achilles injury?
Boogie had surgery to repair his torn Achilles on January 31st 2018, he returned to the NBA January 18, 2019 and has been a shell of his former self. His lateral movement is NOTHING like it was before the injury
There's a better chance that Klay leaves Golden State than there is for Durant playing next season. Neither will happen, though.
Yeah which kinda just shows the injury is what it is. You can rehab for a year and take a full year off, but really it is what it is.
You're not going to be that much better by resting an extra 2-3 months past the initial healing period which usually takes 6-8 months.
You will certainly though prevent the chances of reinjury by sitting out. I mean that's a given.
That's not necessarily correct. Yes, an achilles injury is pretty devastating, but the real story is on the player's 2nd year after the injury. If they cannot keep the same or similar performance levels, that's when you know they're finished.
I'm pretty optimistic about Durant's ability to maintain his performance levels considering he doesn't rely on athleticism as much as other players who were destroyed by this injury.
Not a doctor but I do know a hockey player that suffered an ACL tear one year (a bad one) and then the very next summer tore his achilles working out. Brutal.
Stay away from the stupid box jumping exercises, folks.
I have a friend who has achilles issues and his dumb ass gym trainer was trying to get him to do box jumps, I had to tell him to stop that immediately.
