Playing AAU ball and pickup games and never really having an offseason doesnt help these players when it comes to avoiding injuries. I dont know if they should shorten the seaon or not but at least adjust it so these players have more rest and some of them need to avoid burnout by playing pickup ball all summer too.

I tore my Achilles jumping to steal a transition pass at backcourt. Heard a pop and I went down like I was shot. Felt like someone stepped on my heel. No one was there. Was mad confused. Tried to stand but my foot felt like a pancake. I could walk flatfootedly. Felt the strands of my Achilles rupturing as I flexed my heel. It felt like a cold mint fluid feeling, if that makes sense.

I just tore my achilles a week a half ago while turning back to get on defense. The way you describe the pain and feeling afterwards is perfect. It really feels like somebody is stomping on the back of your foot but when I turned around no one was there. Had surgery this past monday and I am just praying for a smooth recovery.

I saw Brandon Jenning go down in the video and had a flashback. Sound like he in good spirits on twitter. Keeping tabs on his recovery cause we really going through the same thing.
Get better bro.

The description makes me cringe. I've had some injuries before to my feet but this sounds ..awful.
Wish you a speedy recovery breh, along with Jennings. Pistons were just hitting their stride and the kid was out there just straight ballin.
