Exum Injured

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.

Pretty certain that you don't understand the body and how injuries happen.
 
How long is the recovery for mcl? Acl?

It looks to me that he tried to force his body into a jump stop...fadeaway to the left. It put some serious torque on his knee to jump and change momentum. I will jump to the conclusion that it was is inexperience driving and finishing in the lane but wanting to show people he can drive and finish that led to the injury.

MCL is like 2 months?

ACL is like 8 months?

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

It is possible to know if someone is more injury prone than others by studying the way the body is structured, of course it is. But again it's too early, we'll see... I hope that it's minor, he recovers quick and that it's all forgotten in the near future.
 
Also ****ty that whenever Dante seems to drive, something bad happens. The dude is just getting unlucky. If this goes down as a serious injury, can we kiss away any hope of ever seeing a truly aggressive Dante?

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

Not sure what this is suppose to imply. You want the Jazz to just hold Dante out for 2 straights years so he won't get hurt ever?
 
8 months would get him back in time for that playoff run.

Or to play summer league alongside yet another lottery pick.

There are factors that increase risk of injury, like body weight. But it impossible to look at someone who doesn't have an injury history, and go "you know what, his leg thinness makes him 15% more likely to get injured over the next year". Those are highly paid professionals working for billion dollar businesses. It's not like they're just too dumb to figure out what you so easily have. Dante is thin, quick, and doesn't have a history of injuries. He's also extremely timid and contact averse. I can't think of a player who has a LOWER risk of injury! But there is a risk with every player, and injuries will always be an inevitable part of sports.
