I'm not a doctor, but I'm going to say this anyway (about IT Band Syndrome)...
- Thread starter NAOS
- Start date
I have IT band syndrome and it started with hurting a muscle in my hip. I personally think it has more to do with back and pelvic muscles than the knee. It just makes you move weird so the knee is where the pain is. Favors had back problems last year and his back looks really tight and I think that is why his knee hurts. He needs to get his back better to help his knee.

Who besides Griffin is more athletic than Favors? He is undoubtedly a top 5 PF when healthy.
His P3 stuff was off the charts. When healthy, he is vertically explosive. Strong. Etc.....

Lot of truth to this. He may have nerve damage in the back area causing the pain in his knee. However, I'm not a medical professional nor do I know the specifics of his problem, just know that my back issues have caused pain in my leg.

I'm legit worried about the guy and think some questions about our training staff and medical staff are more than fair.
On one of those loose balls he bent over and looked like the 40 something guy playing pickup ball for a little too long. It did look like more of a back thing than a knee thing. He needs to drop weight even if it costs him some muscle... the current program isn't working.

Favors spent time in P3 this summer. Why didnt they pick up on anything? It seems that Favors has some really unique kind of problem that might be out of the Jazz's staff expertise.
P3 staff is great but they are not great with injuries. They are more injury prevention.
There is still very little information about this injury and what is actually going on so it is very hard to draw any kind of conclusion.
The only thing that I find odd and wonder about is why they have played him when he does not seem healed up of whatever is bothering him. The Jazz staff has been very good at trying to make sure players are all the way healed and it wont make things worse to play them.
It is frustrating the lack of info we get as fans about players and their injuries but it makes sense from a competitive standpoint to limit what other teams know about your players.
I just saw this. That is one cause of this and a concern for many runners who have over use problems. I would be shocked if that was the case for Favors based on what info I have seen and the workout videos P3 has shown of him and the data they have shown that seems unlikely. But frankly we really dont have enough info to make a reasonable guess about what is going on.
Favor has always run flat footed and seems to heal strike a lot when running, this can cause problems.

I don't know, some people are just more prone to injury/health problems. Don't really think there always has to be somebody to blame.
Do you think there's a chance that all these folks aren't worried because they all know more than us in almost every facet of sports conditioning, medicine and injury prevention?
