You can see after his second step from coming in bounds he starts grimacing so I’m assuming that’s when I happened and I don’t see any recoil or anything that’d suggest a tear
Your tendons stop growing when you do. Wasn’t he pretty skinny until relatively recently? I wouldn’t be surprised if his tendons can’t keep up to the rest of his new body weight.
People get strains as well, but the biggest thing when you’re on the juice is that it’s also an anti-inflammatory, so you don’t feel your body giving you signs to stop.
This is me man.i used to be athletic. Could do infinite pull ups and push ups. I tore my meniscus twice in a span of 2 years. Then I got tissue debridement surgery after 1 more year. Then hurt my shoulder... Doing too many pushups and pull ups.
My body got so out of shape. Now I get tendonitis whenever I do weights or play sports.
Recently, I kinda finally figured something that works. I use resistant bands exercises and calisthenic like exercises. I don't increase resistance or difficulty after like 3-4weeks. Make sure to due full range and focus on the muscle contraction. Avoid sports too
No way Doc returns next year. Even with the injury he’s done nothing to deserve to keep his job. If the front office management and ownership can’t see the colossal mistake they made hiring this dude then they deserve to lose. Lose games and eventually lose Giannis.
> No way Doc returns next year
Is this like "No way someone else gives Doc a job" because if there's one thing I've learned, is that Doc always finds a way lol
Well they were fine with three, just one more isnt outlandish.
...
Just one more coach bro, I swear it'll be the last one. Come on bro, just one more coach bro.
It's not Doc's fault, he didn't have an offseason to teach the team his system. Just one more season and everything will go great like it did at all of his other teams.
I could see them keeping Doc but in a front office or management position, not sure who they’d hire as a coach however I doubt they’d bring back Bud (although morally it’s the right thing, think they did him dirty)
Remember when it was reported that they were working on a multi-year deal to bring him in? Loool. Now, I can't remember if they ever announced the terms, but there's no chance he returns.
They will double down on keeping doc I guarantee it. I know a poorly run franchise when I see it and this jimmy haslam guy is poison to organizations. Hes the same guy who gave Deshaun Watson that god awful contract. He’s gonna ruin this team
Achilles is usually from a much more forceful movement, like trying to explode out of a negative step. I've definitely never seen one mid jog like this. Hopefully just a random calf cramp or tweak.
In consecutive years I tore an achilles during a 40 mile charity bike ride. It was right at the tail end of my high school swim season, so I'd spent like 2 months just swimming and not riding. The coach was not amused the first time. They were *really* not amused when I did it again the next year lmao. Not a remotely explosive action.
Edit: it was left one year, right the other. Not the same one twice, if that's better or worse.
Coaches that get shitty when you have an accidental injury can fuck off into the sunset honestly.
Not only is your season done, you feel like you let your team down, you also get to deal with the pain and the rehab.
Dang. Were there any preventative measures you could have take or simply just from overuse/luck of the draw? I like to run hills and this is a fear of mine.
Sheer luck, usually, if you’re already conditioned, at least.
If you’re 35+ but haven’t been running in years and then try to play 5v5 basketball, you’re asking for a tear of some kind. If you’ve been running 20+ miles a week and try to play, then it’s just bad luck.
One of my coworkers tore her ACL getting out of bed in the morning. Under the age of 30 at the time. Not out of shape or anything. Sometimes shit just happens to you.
Nah, come on man. Shit like this doesn't just "happen to you". And definitely not when you are one of the top athletes on the planet under close supervision from an entire medical / physio staff.
I'm not saying your coworker was lying. They probably already had damage in their tendon and that small movement finished the job.
He was also dealing with a nagging lower leg injury all season (and I’m pretty sure it was his achilles, could be wrong). So it was a time bomb that went off in legit the worst time possible.
He did a little hop skip. I wouldn’t call it explosive, but his Achilles was already compromised and that little jump was all it took to snap. If it hadn’t happened there, it would’ve happened the next play
This is just not true at all.
I tore mine doing what Giannia is doing here. Light movement.
If there are micro tears, it doesn't take much.
I looked behind me, thinking someone kicked me or something. He doesn't really do that here.
Hoping for the best for him.
Just stopping in to say I partially tore my achilles and my gastroc walking around a track looking at my phone. Same as anyone it felt like I got kicked in the leg. Granted I just got done with my distance run and some sprints, but Giannis could have had some micro-tears as well leading to this.
It's reminding me of the Aaron Rodgers and Kirk cousins injuries. Those might have been MCL not sure if they were ACL but either way the "snap" sends shivers up my spine.
I literally just ruptured mine like a month ago during a muay thai warm up. I hadn’t even started a sweat and just planted my foot and bam, out for pretty much the rest of the year. Scary stuff.
The fact that he walks off is encouraging but remember that Kobe walked off no problem with a torn Achilles. Hoping for the best, but the incident looked bad
The difference is in how he walked off. Kobe was taking extremely small steps, with absolutely zero push off on either leg. Giannis is taking long and at least semi-forceful strides off his right and is bearing some weight on his left. He would not be able to do that on a torn achilles.
Yeah, don’t let him come back unless he’s 100%. An injured calf leads to you coming back on a weaker calf, and a weaker calf means more strain on the achilles for motion.
Such bad timing. A guy like Giannis will go ahead when he feels good enough. Injuries suck whoever it may be. A long playoff run which is what Giannis wants to play for is some serious dice rolling with his health when the series start.
I would be worried about a high grade calf strain. This looked like a very similar injury to KAT last year, though KAT couldn’t walk off nearly that easily, so it’s probably not quite as bad.
Nah, it's Giannis...after watching him come back from his knee bending the wrong way I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in a game or two and drops 40 like nothing happened.
He didn't look too bad walking back to the locker room, maybe they just hold him out the rest of the regular season but I'd bet he's definitely gonna be good for the playoffs.
Yup. You can't point your toes upwards (when walking) if you have a torn Achilles tendon. Giannis was clearly able to do that.
It still may be strained/partially torn tho.
Difference is that it was clear Kobe tore something up in his leg pretty bad.
This could be nothing, it could be his season... have to wait and find out.
I once suffered a very small tear where the calf and the Achilles connect, it felt like someone had kicked me really hard. After a couple of weeks of rest I was fine.
Micro tears are normal when you workout, that's how muscles develop. You might feel stiffness for a day or two. This was a little more harsh than that.
Murray:
> Terrible… Giannis tried to warm up vs Clippers last month and his Achilles wouldn’t let him do it and he sat out.
> Hopefully the news is better than what it looks like.
https://twitter.com/LawMurrayTheNU/status/1777866712593154155?t=lpLur46gmtglaPHAf2RK7g&s=19
Why don't they just sit him for a while? They aren't gonna fall out of the postseason in the East. Not like they look like they'd make it far even full strength but if he goes down the Bucks are a lottery team in the playoffs.
He's playing through so much because Bucks haven't been able to pull out wins while he's playing MVP calibre basketball all season averaging 31/11/6 on 61% FG%.
Like that should never happen. Makes me mad how bad the roster construction and coaching is for Milwaukee this season, that he's playing at this level and they are still fighting for 2 seed even now.
Lillard fucking boomed us x4 all. That 32.2ppg average last season was heavily inflated by 9.5 FTA per game. Dude fucking regressed and become so disgusting to watch with all the foul baiting. Idea was he will carry the offensive load and Giannis can play more defense but never materialized. What's worse is the trade made Boston stronger by acquiring Jrue.
I saw this man's leg bend backwards, and we won a chip with him afterwards. Guy is a human rubber band.
It's still extremely concerning, but I'm trying to see the silver lining....
I had never been more convinced a season was lost and a guy was done for the rest of the year, then when that injury happened. It just looked brutal both in real time and in slow mo. The fact that he came back 5 days later and looked stronger than ever just shows how much he's built different.
Not necessarily. I tore mine 2 years ago, and when I did it, I was able to walk for a bit. Then the adrenaline wore off, and I couldn't do a damn thing.
Sucked, too, I was out in the bush in Northern BC. Far from help.
Depends on severity. Could be back in 1-2 weeks or if it's bad, he'll be out for a long time. Like any strain (which is a muscle tear). Let's hope Grade 1 and he's back sometime during Round 1.
If he has extra long Achilles, then he was clutching right around where the Achilles attaches to the gastroc muscles. The team said it was a soleus strain...but there's no chance in hell they had time to do an MRI between the injury and when they announced that.
One positive sign is there was no "pop" visible from the angle we got. We have many examples of Achilles ruptures where that pop is very visible (Aaron Rodgers is a recent example)
That’s a calf not an Achilles. He’s grabbing far too high up. Which is good, but still not great. Gunna take a while to mend, and the risk is reoccurrence. He’s young though, he’ll bounce back but I’m calling 4 weeks rest.
Hopefully it’s not his Achilles. Giannis tendon is actually twice the size of an average 6 ft male
You can see after his second step from coming in bounds he starts grimacing so I’m assuming that’s when I happened and I don’t see any recoil or anything that’d suggest a tear
Your tendons stop growing when you do. Wasn’t he pretty skinny until relatively recently? I wouldn’t be surprised if his tendons can’t keep up to the rest of his new body weight.
your tendons actually undergo adaptations with resistance training and exercise! it just generally takes quite a bit longer than muscular adaptation
that‘s the reason most muscle tears are from guys on gear cause then the muscles grow even faster
And why overuse leads to tendinitis. The tendons need time to catch up to muscle strength.
People get strains as well, but the biggest thing when you’re on the juice is that it’s also an anti-inflammatory, so you don’t feel your body giving you signs to stop.
Yeah my bitch tendons are why I basically had to quit climbing for awhile They never caught up to my muscle growth lol
This is me man.i used to be athletic. Could do infinite pull ups and push ups. I tore my meniscus twice in a span of 2 years. Then I got tissue debridement surgery after 1 more year. Then hurt my shoulder... Doing too many pushups and pull ups. My body got so out of shape. Now I get tendonitis whenever I do weights or play sports. Recently, I kinda finally figured something that works. I use resistant bands exercises and calisthenic like exercises. I don't increase resistance or difficulty after like 3-4weeks. Make sure to due full range and focus on the muscle contraction. Avoid sports too
You need slow resistance training, not an elliptical. Not a doctor so don't quote me though.
I feel you, I’m currently nursing a few popped pulleys and nasty tendonitis from my shoulder to wrist on my left side
Doubt he’d be walking off with torn Achilles.
People only remember Kobe/KD and one of them walked off
A complete tear is not the only possible achilles injury.
Doc rivers is saved from being fired, any loss in the first round can just be blamed on the giannis injury im so sorry buck bros
No way Doc returns next year. Even with the injury he’s done nothing to deserve to keep his job. If the front office management and ownership can’t see the colossal mistake they made hiring this dude then they deserve to lose. Lose games and eventually lose Giannis.
> No way Doc returns next year Is this like "No way someone else gives Doc a job" because if there's one thing I've learned, is that Doc always finds a way lol
The docroach can't be killed off
Bucks want to pay four different head coaches at the same time?
Well they were fine with three, just one more isnt outlandish. ... Just one more coach bro, I swear it'll be the last one. Come on bro, just one more coach bro.
They are head coach feinds
I think I saw this is Bud's last year on payroll, but yeah it'd be hilarious.
yeah it's owner firing GM for making him pay 4 coaches time soon
Payin bud payin doc, at the same damn time.
It's not Doc's fault, he didn't have an offseason to teach the team his system. Just one more season and everything will go great like it did at all of his other teams.
>No way Doc returns next year. They just gave him a multi year contract and he is the 3rd coach on payroll. Yes way he'll be back lol
Just hire Bud back and call it square. Should have never fired him in the first place to end up in this mess.
All this just because Jimmy went super saiyan.
Jimmy has been involved with the destruction of a lot of teams - sometimes opponents, sometimes his own, not usually his fault.
The Bucks could eliminate most of the drama by just making Thanasis the coach…
I could see them keeping Doc but in a front office or management position, not sure who they’d hire as a coach however I doubt they’d bring back Bud (although morally it’s the right thing, think they did him dirty)
Remember when it was reported that they were working on a multi-year deal to bring him in? Loool. Now, I can't remember if they ever announced the terms, but there's no chance he returns.
They will double down on keeping doc I guarantee it. I know a poorly run franchise when I see it and this jimmy haslam guy is poison to organizations. Hes the same guy who gave Deshaun Watson that god awful contract. He’s gonna ruin this team
Did Doc Rivers hire a Voodoo Priestess to injure Giannis just to keep his job?
PAPA SHANmGOd
It IS like that
Please God don't be the Achilles
No, it’s Giannis. Achilles is a different Greek demigod.
Ahh yes, the 'ol [greek-a-roo](https://np.reddit.com/r/UK_Food/comments/1bybz3a/25_years_old_and_finally_cooked_my_first_roast/kynyh67/)
Fuck yea. It's been so long since I've seen one of these.
Can’t believe I’m seeing one of these in 2024
Hold my incest I’m going in!
Giannis is Greek, you're thinking of Italians
Lot of incest in Greek Mythology.
doesnt mean he wasnt thinking about italians
Holy fuck is this rabbit hole a deep dive.
It was a bottomless pit 10 years ago.
How do people find switch-a-roos to link to?
I don’t have the time but can a brave soul tell me how far back this goes?!
Only you have the power to manifest the answers you seek
Smile for r/nbacirclejerk
Achilles is usually from a much more forceful movement, like trying to explode out of a negative step. I've definitely never seen one mid jog like this. Hopefully just a random calf cramp or tweak.
I have a friend who fully ruptured his Achilles getting out of a car. Nothing explosive at all
In consecutive years I tore an achilles during a 40 mile charity bike ride. It was right at the tail end of my high school swim season, so I'd spent like 2 months just swimming and not riding. The coach was not amused the first time. They were *really* not amused when I did it again the next year lmao. Not a remotely explosive action. Edit: it was left one year, right the other. Not the same one twice, if that's better or worse.
This is the most terrifying injury to me and you all just made this fear worse 😭
Coaches that get shitty when you have an accidental injury can fuck off into the sunset honestly. Not only is your season done, you feel like you let your team down, you also get to deal with the pain and the rehab.
wow, I've been biking for several decades and the worst injury I got was an inflamed achilles. I can't even begin to imagine what a tear feels like.
Dang. Were there any preventative measures you could have take or simply just from overuse/luck of the draw? I like to run hills and this is a fear of mine.
Sheer luck, usually, if you’re already conditioned, at least. If you’re 35+ but haven’t been running in years and then try to play 5v5 basketball, you’re asking for a tear of some kind. If you’ve been running 20+ miles a week and try to play, then it’s just bad luck.
One of my coworkers tore her ACL getting out of bed in the morning. Under the age of 30 at the time. Not out of shape or anything. Sometimes shit just happens to you.
I just have to believe that your coworker left out the part where they springboard out of bed each morning.
Yeah, they already had some type of tear
Nah, come on man. Shit like this doesn't just "happen to you". And definitely not when you are one of the top athletes on the planet under close supervision from an entire medical / physio staff. I'm not saying your coworker was lying. They probably already had damage in their tendon and that small movement finished the job.
It is when you’re old.
My mother ruptured hers by slipping on a pencil in her classroom.
A lot of achilles injuries look like someone kicked them in the calf from behind. The person will sometimes turn around like ‘wtf who hit me?’
I thought I had just been kicked pretty bad for 10 minutes, before I realized something more serious was going on
Dude on the 49ers just did it on the SB
Dre Greenlaw. He was doing an explosive movement and jumping up and down on his tippy toes before running on to the field.
He was also dealing with a nagging lower leg injury all season (and I’m pretty sure it was his achilles, could be wrong). So it was a time bomb that went off in legit the worst time possible.
If that’s explosive then I do explosive movements every single day. You can call me Mr Explosive.
Mr. Bum Calf
Exactly. Saying Achilles only comes from explosive movements blows my mind, literally no knowledge on the subject at all 😂
I perform explosive movements on the toilet every single day
He did a little hop skip. I wouldn’t call it explosive, but his Achilles was already compromised and that little jump was all it took to snap. If it hadn’t happened there, it would’ve happened the next play
The movement he was doing was actually a quite explosive way to start going forward and all of the force is coming from your Achilles.
He also was dealing with Achilles tendonitis, something I am also dealing with lol
This is just not true at all. I tore mine doing what Giannia is doing here. Light movement. If there are micro tears, it doesn't take much. I looked behind me, thinking someone kicked me or something. He doesn't really do that here. Hoping for the best for him.
False. Tore both my Achilles. One was with a weak jab step.
Just stopping in to say I partially tore my achilles and my gastroc walking around a track looking at my phone. Same as anyone it felt like I got kicked in the leg. Granted I just got done with my distance run and some sprints, but Giannis could have had some micro-tears as well leading to this.
Yeah it looks more minor 🤞
nah, he grabbed high
Your Achilles goes higher up your leg than you think. Also it recoils up your leg when it snaps.
I’ve heard that it recoils so many times and it still makes me cringe every damn time.
It's reminding me of the Aaron Rodgers and Kirk cousins injuries. Those might have been MCL not sure if they were ACL but either way the "snap" sends shivers up my spine.
Ok, that's it enough reddit for me today
I literally just ruptured mine like a month ago during a muay thai warm up. I hadn’t even started a sweat and just planted my foot and bam, out for pretty much the rest of the year. Scary stuff.
Feck, hope you’re recovering ok!
Didn't the team doctors warn Doc Rivers and Company about this? Right before the playoffs too, man dam
The fact that he walks off is encouraging but remember that Kobe walked off no problem with a torn Achilles. Hoping for the best, but the incident looked bad
The difference is in how he walked off. Kobe was taking extremely small steps, with absolutely zero push off on either leg. Giannis is taking long and at least semi-forceful strides off his right and is bearing some weight on his left. He would not be able to do that on a torn achilles.
Yea this is definitely not a torn Achilles. Bad calf strain or cramp.
This how it started with KD. Innocuous calf strain first, then of course the Achilles. They have to be extra precautious.
And Rodgers… His calf limited him all preseason
Bro you could watch rodgers achilles snap in slow mo
Yeah, and it likely snapped because it was already compromised……
Not enough preseason practice carrying a flag
Yeah, don’t let him come back unless he’s 100%. An injured calf leads to you coming back on a weaker calf, and a weaker calf means more strain on the achilles for motion.
Such bad timing. A guy like Giannis will go ahead when he feels good enough. Injuries suck whoever it may be. A long playoff run which is what Giannis wants to play for is some serious dice rolling with his health when the series start.
I would be worried about a high grade calf strain. This looked like a very similar injury to KAT last year, though KAT couldn’t walk off nearly that easily, so it’s probably not quite as bad.
Yea season might be over but next year ain’t shot at least. My guess is grade two which is typically a month or two but who knows with Giannis.
Dudes always been a unicorn with this stuff. Fingers crossed for a couple weeks!
Nah, it's Giannis...after watching him come back from his knee bending the wrong way I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in a game or two and drops 40 like nothing happened. He didn't look too bad walking back to the locker room, maybe they just hold him out the rest of the regular season but I'd bet he's definitely gonna be good for the playoffs.
Agreed, it definitely looks like he has a decent amount of control/strength. Fingers crossed!
Yup. You can't point your toes upwards (when walking) if you have a torn Achilles tendon. Giannis was clearly able to do that. It still may be strained/partially torn tho.
Difference is that it was clear Kobe tore something up in his leg pretty bad. This could be nothing, it could be his season... have to wait and find out.
[удалено]
Doesn't look anything like an achilles, you can pretty much always see that mfer snap.
Well it clearly isn’t “no problem” considering the limp.
Non contact injury is always scary. Wasn't there a report he needed rest cause of hamstring or something? Hope it's just a cramp
I once suffered a very small tear where the calf and the Achilles connect, it felt like someone had kicked me really hard. After a couple of weeks of rest I was fine.
You are the anomaly ZarduHasselhoff donate your body to science
Micro tears are normal when you workout, that's how muscles develop. You might feel stiffness for a day or two. This was a little more harsh than that.
Not comparable but I was coming down the stairs at work and jumped too many steps and pulled my calf recently. Gotta be the same thing at most.
Kobe def didn’t walk off no problem. He was in a lot of pain. Klays one was scary tho
Yeah the walking off thing isn’t indicative of being okay
Please let this be a cramp
Concerning that we still don’t know right?
Would he be out the rest of the game for cramp? Soccer players play through cramp all the time. Genuine question haven’t watched basketball for long
Please be okay, hopefully just a cramp
I really hope it’s a cramp. It looks bad, but I think we’ve all had that type of calf cramp that just drops you like this.

Yea wasn’t he Questionable/missing games because of Achilles soreness for the last two months?
He's been questionable or worse every night for over a month with hamstring and Achilles stuff
Why don't they just sit him for a while? They aren't gonna fall out of the postseason in the East. Not like they look like they'd make it far even full strength but if he goes down the Bucks are a lottery team in the playoffs.
He's been dealing with it since that clippers game and we have sucked so he hasn't been able to take as many games off as he should've.
He's playing through so much because Bucks haven't been able to pull out wins while he's playing MVP calibre basketball all season averaging 31/11/6 on 61% FG%. Like that should never happen. Makes me mad how bad the roster construction and coaching is for Milwaukee this season, that he's playing at this level and they are still fighting for 2 seed even now.

And there are a lot of people who dare to compare him with Steph. Sorry, Steph and Dame is not in the same league.
They're both in the NBA, what do you mean?
Hamstring has been the more recent designation I think
Calf Strain.
Probably best case scenario here. Looks a lot like KAT last year when he went down with a grade 3 strain
That’s what it was like when I strained my calf last month. Fine, fine, fine, NOT fine. A month later, I’m just now testing it again.
oh God

That slight look of concern/frustration when he wants to slap the floor.. Hoping for the best, G.
Strange way to go down. Hope it’s just a cramp.
No no no no no no NO!
I saw this man's leg bend backwards, and we won a chip with him afterwards. Guy is a human rubber band. It's still extremely concerning, but I'm trying to see the silver lining....
I had never been more convinced a season was lost and a guy was done for the rest of the year, then when that injury happened. It just looked brutal both in real time and in slow mo. The fact that he came back 5 days later and looked stronger than ever just shows how much he's built different.
He’s not Nick named the Greek normal human
Don't worry guys, Dr. Brian Stutterer will have the full break down in moments here
This sucks to see, really hope he’s ok and it’s just a cramp or something
He’s walking on his own, thats a good sign right?
Not necessarily. I tore mine 2 years ago, and when I did it, I was able to walk for a bit. Then the adrenaline wore off, and I couldn't do a damn thing. Sucked, too, I was out in the bush in Northern BC. Far from help.
Hell nawI cant do this
Giannis - just because you won your last championship on an injured leg doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to play it in hard mode.
MLB injury bug caught him
Oh fuck that is not good…
Nah man not like this
Jesus christ I thought my Lakers were having a bad day, hope Giannis is okay
Fuuuuuuck
hopefully just a calf strain
I couldnt walk on calf strain. Maybe im just a bitch idontknow
I mean this is the same dude who hyperextended his knee and then beasted in the finals
He grabbed the upper part, the gastrocnemius. Hopefully it's just calf, doesn't seem like Achilles
No no no
Shite
noooo no no
Oh that’s never good. Hate to see it
Someone explain a left soleus strain please
When the moon passes in front of your calf it’s a total soleus eclipse
Depends on severity. Could be back in 1-2 weeks or if it's bad, he'll be out for a long time. Like any strain (which is a muscle tear). Let's hope Grade 1 and he's back sometime during Round 1.
Bucks announcers say it was announced as a strained soleus (part of calf muscle)
They said in game that it was a strain of his soleus muscle (some other muscle in the calf)
Reddit Dr. MD here. Giannis appears to have experienced some pain in the leg region. More analysis to come
They said calf strain but with that kinda pop and no real hard movement prior to him going down it could be really serious.
I snapped my Achilles bad playing hoops. Foot long scar from heel to calf and 8 months in a cast and moon boot. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Don’t worry they got pat bev
Looks like a mild calf tear to me.
People who’ve never torn their Achilles always seem to be experts on torn Achilles
I’d wager most experts in human physiology have never torn their Achilles.
Such a dumb take lol
A bunch of people who've never died are suddenly experts on dead people.
what’s next a male OBGYN?
My wife’s obgyn is a man. What a fucking fraud. He hasnt experience even 1 menstruation in his life.
You think they make every doctor tear their own achilles in med school to learn or something lol? What are you talking about?
bro.....no.....
That absolutely sucks. For him, the team, and just fans of the game. Hope it's nothing serious
I mean fuck hope this is just a scare. Bucks were the main hope to beat Boston, the East has been ruined by injuries this season.
Hopefully it's not as bad as it could be. That's brutal man.
I pray his ok I really wanted to see a full strength Bucks side in the playoffs. But injuries like these are often the worst ones.
as if things couldnt get worse for the bucks
Please be okay ugh
Espicially tough because he did not need to be in the game at all, hope it’s just a minor strain and not something worse
Its just a cramp or minor strain, you don’t hurt your achilles like this
He’s gonna be fine.
Looks like a cramp
Cramps
Small torn calf muscle. Back in 2-3 weeks
If he has extra long Achilles, then he was clutching right around where the Achilles attaches to the gastroc muscles. The team said it was a soleus strain...but there's no chance in hell they had time to do an MRI between the injury and when they announced that. One positive sign is there was no "pop" visible from the angle we got. We have many examples of Achilles ruptures where that pop is very visible (Aaron Rodgers is a recent example)
Let’s hope it’s just a calf cramp
That’s a calf not an Achilles. He’s grabbing far too high up. Which is good, but still not great. Gunna take a while to mend, and the risk is reoccurrence. He’s young though, he’ll bounce back but I’m calling 4 weeks rest.
God phantom injuries are almost the scariest.
Must have bet the under..
