Exum Injured

I think the Jazz will give solid minutes to Neto. He's probably the best passer and not a terrible defensive liability. He'll be our version of Ricky Rubio. Alec Burks and Hoody can make up the offense.
 
The season(purely basketball-wise and results-wise) we are losing Exum for is not the biggest problem with that injury. We will do OK either way. The much bigger problem is we lose a year of Dante's development, a year of evaluation and quite possibly it might effect his willingness to be aggressive in the future.
Well said.
 
So has there been anything official released about this? Diagnosis or prognosis or some other nosis?
 
Would you add flexibility and explosiveness to that list as well? I don't think Rubio was ever the same after the injury/surgery...

Haven't researched that yet. From the little I've read purely physically in most cases there is no reason the athlete cannot be back to 100%(with some exceptions). The bigger problem seems psychological - making the player trust his knee again.
 
Cadaver. It was apparently the best way for it.

Assuming your body doesnt reject it or have infections that is the best way to go. My hamstrings never recovered from being cut up. Pulled them all the time for 3-4 years after the surgery from stupid simple stuff.
 
He was diagnosed with an ACL tear in Slovenia.

Great way to start the day.... #H$%
From the 4 Friendly games... don't know how the Boomers were going to do w/ Tall Blacks...
and now, with this injury to Dante... just don't care. Total crap.
 
I tore my ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL all at once. Being a skier I've known tons of people that have torn ACL's. I think it's pretty easy for a doc to diagnose a ACL tear with a simple hands-on stability test of a knee. My docs have done the test to me a ton of times... it can tell them a lot about a knee.
 
In watching it again I think the reason he blew his ACL is that as he landed his toe was pointed inwards.

If you get off a ski lift and the tail of your ski is on top of the persons ski next to you and they ski ahead, you fall backwards(like you're sitting down) and that is a classic ACL tear scenario...your toes go inwards and your weight goes back...and boom!
