Assuming KD was saying "I'm fine", would you want to be the doctor that refused to give KD clearance? Im just saying I would HATE to be those Doctors who had to make that decision with pressures coming in all different directions.Hoping he can come back in a year and still be Kevin Durant.
I will be really bummed if he is never the same.
Also I would like to ask a lot of questions to the doctors who cleared him. Maybe this was not their fault but I never trust team doctors.
I'm not going to blame the doctors with what we know, but team doctors typically look out for the team more than the player. It's also kinda weird how he didn't have a minutes restriction.Hoping he can come back in a year and still be Kevin Durant.

As a doctor, the only pressure they should concern themselves with is the physical well-being of their patient.Assuming KD was saying "I'm fine", would you want to be the doctor that refused to give KD clearance?

The previous injury was called a calf injury.Was the first injury during the Rockets series an achilles injury? They were pretty ambiguous about it. If it was, it was totally negligent of management to let him play game 5, they may have ended his career.
Any good doctor wouldn't listen to outside pressure and only have the well being of their patient at heart.Assuming KD was saying "I'm fine", would you want to be the doctor that refused to give KD clearance?

I mean it's a tough job but if they dropped the ball (I can't comment on that as I am not a doctor and don't know what they knew) that might ruin someone's life.Assuming KD was saying "I'm fine", would you want to be the doctor that refused to give KD clearance?

Yeah it's not hard. And if it is get a new job...Any good doctor wouldn't listen to outside pressure and only have the well being of their patient at heart.
Yes. Being a doctor is all about having the well-being in mind of the individual, not the team.Assuming KD was saying "I'm fine", would you want to be the doctor that refused to give KD clearance?
If it was the Warriors should be punished.
The team is the one paying the checks and putting the pressure on them.Yes. Being a doctor is all about having the well-being in mind of the individual, not the team.
He's not going to get paid. This is the career ender like, there's no way on earth he's going to get the max and oh god the Knicks are gonna give him the max.Yeah, Dr. Chao was on this right after it happened. So bummed for him.
Assuming he tore his achilles, this is an unprecedented situation. Free agent, tons of suitors, but he'll likely miss all next season. You're then looking at a 32 year old on a max contract coming off one of the most severe injuries there is for an NBA player.
Knicks will give him the full max.Yeah, Dr. Chao was on this right after it happened. So bummed for him.

This injury isn't necessarily career ending anymore, but the KD we're used to is probably gone.He's not going to get paid. This is the career ender like, there's no way on earth he's going to get the max and oh god the Knicks are gonna give him the max.
Yeah, which is "Career" ending, sure he's not technically done but, for all intents and purposes he's done. He's not going to be anywhere near the same player.This injury isn't necessarily career ending anymore, but the KD we're used to is probably gone.
