Great point. It still does not address the level of expertise between the folks that do what they do for a living and you and I...keyboard Jazz fan warriors.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm going to say this anyway (about IT Band Syndrome)...

If they were worried, do you really think they'd let him play?
I don't think they are worried about structural damage. I think they wanted to see if they could manage the soreness and what level he could play at.

We still have very little info about Favors and what is going on but I am reading some tidbits that concern me now. Still just guesses at some problems though.
sound like we might get both Favors and Hood back for the next game. Hill has his walking boot off but the last player to go through something similar is Harris who missed 16 games with his similar injury and missed 2 weeks after getting his walking boot off. So I expect Hill is out at least another week and probably longer.

It is interesting to hear about the team doing strength training with Favors and helping him do that without putting pressure on the knee as much. They also talked about him learning to jump and land and move without putting as much pressure on his knee. Reading that statement kind of shocked me. He should have been doing this his whole strength training career. I also know that P3 should be doing that and does do that. Although I am sometimes surprised at P3 because they spend a lot of time on new training techniques and spend a lot of time with computer systems monitoring and tracking players but skip on some of the basics of sports performance. I personally dont have a lot of respect for Jazz strength staff in the past when I have met with them and watched some of their programming. But never thought it was something that wouldnt meet the players needs and between them and P3 they should be getting their needs met. But maybe they are worse than I thought now that we are getting more info.

Fast delete but to answer your question [MENTION=249]NAOS[/MENTION] I have no inside information, just stuff in the article quoted and a few things on Twitter from players and media saying the same thing.

I figured you were referencing the article. That's why I deleted. Thanks for the link

bump.
Favors and all of his handlers did a **** job of preparing his body for this season. He's had two off-seasons in his entire career where he's known exactly what position he was preparing for and had a very good idea of his role; and I've been very disappointed with the results of both of those off-seasons. This is about as disturbing a trend as the jazz organization is facing right now in terms of player development (the 2nd being Dante Exum).

At least the Jazz are being smart with him now. The worst thing that could happen is some huge setback. The most important thing for him is to enter the off-season as close to 100% as possible.
Well they better get with it because he has not been even remotely close to 100% at any point this season.

Off season or post season... if off season is the goal you just shut him down completely and try again next year.
No, he needs game reps. He has gotten better as the season has gone on.
