This is nonsense... how does one become cleared for activities... through self reporting on pain. Its not Ball being a wuss or limiting himself. He's reporting actual symptoms of something going on in his knee... he took 8 months for a "minor" procedure.I dont think it has anything to do with him being cleared iirc. It's all his own stuff. He's reporting pain and he's self-limiting.
As I posted before this, sometimes the answer is just long-term rest and taking your rehab very slowly without feeling the need to rush yourself back.
I know your knee turned out fine but jeebus man... the stress you and I put on our knees is like 1% what an NBA player needs. Give me some examples of athletes with these issues where it turned out all rosy in the end. This is career threatening imo... he could join guys like Bender, Roy, etc. that never figure it out. If its Conley and the Philly first... I mean maybe... but I'd also need to know what else is on the table.
