The NBA needs to take Calf strains and "Calf tightness" more seriously now

[LV Koopa]

Complain about load management.
Complain about the team letting the player play.

Are you dudes ever happy?

I think the pacers had 3 Achilles tears this year, and they run more than any other team. Might be something there also.

nikka THEY LOST
TWO 23 YR OLD BIG MEN
TO ACHILLES TEARS AS SOON
AS THE SEASON STARTED
(OCT 23/NOV 2)
WHICH PROVES ALL
OF THIS shyt IS RANDOM


​

 

[Cladyclad]

Tatum, Dame Hali all would have played in the NBA Finals game 7 knowing 100% they will tear their Achilles to shreds..

No the fukk they wouldn’t lol

 

[GoPro]

Yeah, imagining if he sat out, and they lost. But he never makes it back to finals in his career. He gonna think sitting out for that calf sprain was worth it? hell nah

I see what the other side is saying about it needing to be an official league rule. Leaving it on a team/player basis won't work at all.

 

[duckbutta]

As an orginization from owner to GM to head coach, you cant let them play

If I'm an agent, I'm telling my client to sit out until he's completely pain free

Your client got a calf injury but he been balling all year and if he miss 3 more games he not going to qualify for all nba team and it's highly likely he going to make it.

You going to tell him not to play? We are talking literally 10 of millions of dollars on the line here.

The athlete will just lie then

In that case, go out and play 5 minutes for those last 3 games. People are gaming the systems at their 9-5 jobs, these guys can figure something this simple as well.

 

[The God Poster]

Its game 7....of course it was his choice. But they both tried to go thru all the precautions and shyt to get him ready.

With KD, it was also his choice. And both his own doctors and the team doctors said he could go (lotta people ignore the part of his own doctors clearing him)

Good thing though is he's signed thru 2029 when he got his Supermax 2 years ago.

He absolutely chose to play but let’s keep it 100. If the team says you’re not playing that’s the final say.

Both parties knew the possibility & they valued a potential title>>>>

The only problem is the team really can’t be unbiased when it calls.

Same reason players get 2nd opinions from non team doctors

THE NBA HAS GUARANTEED CONTRACTS
SO THE TEAM KNOWS
THEYRE STILL ON THE HOOK
FOR HIS MAX REGARDLESS OF WHAT
HAPPENS

The money has to go to somebody

You risk your body for a franchise that wont hesitate to trade you when you cant recover from the injury

Going forward. Tyrese is likely a few percentages worse as a player. And his reward is that he played 7 minutes in Game 7

He shoulda told them to kick rocks

LMAO

NO ONE PRESSURED HIM
INTO DOING ANYTHING.

HE DID THE SAME THING
EVERY ATHLETE IN HIS POSITION
WOULD HAVE DONE.

FOH WITH THIS FLABBY COLI LOGIC

[VegetasHairline]

No the fukk they wouldn’t lol

We LITERALLY JUST WATCHED Haliburton do it. How you gonna say they wouldn't?

 

[VegetasHairline]

Aaron Gordon played with a Grade 2 hamstring strain in a 2nd round Game 7 but I'm supposed to expect star players to sit out of a NBA FINALS GAME 7.

If you told Hali it’s 100% certain you would tear you achilles if u play. I’m 1000000% certain he would be in jeans and t shirt on the bench watching the game. Same for Tatum and Dame
