Exum Injured

My sister is a physical therapist, she said the angle of the video makes it difficult to tell, but she would guess ACL. Probable best case is MCL.

If this is the case the medical staff should have known about the risk and either not draft him (if they wanted instant gratification) or have him strengthen up and get some burn in the D-League, gradually getting stronger. He's only 19, if he needed 2 more years to be NBA ready then so be it. There was no contact so obviously there was something else going on. Way to go Jazz staff.

Dude, quit being such a moron-- do you know how hard it is to be able to tell how long a ligament will hold up? These are 19 year old human beings, not ****ing vehicles where you can just jack the car up and look at its components.


And you completely missed my point-- this isn't a one-off genetic thing. I think 7-8 of the top 10 players from last year have now had serious injuries within their first 12-14 months of being drafted. This is not genetic. The article I mentioned talked about how much basketball these kids are playing at way too young of ages, and their bodies are becoming ticking time bombs.

That's honestly what it looks like. Really really looks like the ACL just gave on him.

It doesn't matter how ****ing strong you are, that **** happens.

Derrick Rose is as strong as bull (no pun intended) and the dude tore his **** up out of nowhere.

It's just bad luck.

Here is Demarre injury. He recovered fast and didn't have ligament damage. Hopefully Exums is similar.

This looked bad too-- but I fear Dante's youth being a factor. He doesn't have the leg muscles Demarre' does.

Dude that's why the medical staff, scouts, etc... get paid the big bucks. If he would have injured his knee with contact it's a different story, it can happen to anyone, but not being any contact it tells me that something was up with the way his body is structured. Nonetheless it's early and maybe it's nothing, we'll see. But I have a right to be angry if it does turn out being a big issue.
 
I feel like the fact that he was out on the team bench chilling with it wrapped up is a good sign. Seems like if it was super cereal he would be getting treatment or something. IDK, just hoping.

This is teh most bummer **** ever.

I blame Trey Burke.

and I blame Dalamon for Trey Burke.

So I blame Dalamon.

These tears often happend without contact (watch the Carroll vid). There is nothing you can do. You can minimize risk obviously by stretching/working out/being in shape, but the risk is never 0.

Ask Philly's medical staff how's life. It might have sounded like I'm over-reacting, I hope I am.

No it's impossible to know. If it was possible, then nobody would ever get injured.
