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

[VegetasHairline]

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

If you told them they'd be guaranteed to win the championship along with it they'd be out there playing.

Every sports star who plays with any injury is always risking more harm done. With all this info out there, Hopefully this opens up their eyes more to what kind of damage can happen.

I’m 10000% certain they wouldn’t

this is career defining. They may never be the same player. Hell Dame might just say fukk it and retire.

you tear your Achilles for the ring. I don’t know any athlete in the mist of their prime taking that deal

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.

And Steph Curry sat out games

If you told Dame at his current age that's he's 100% winning a ring but he's gonna tear his Achilles he's gonna play. Do you know how much that ring helps Dame's legacy? That's also career defining.

dame don’t give a fukk about that ring if it’s gonna hurt his well being to that magnitude. He want to play more. this shyt speeding up his finale now.

that rehabbing no joke and like KD said you will never be the same physically. Why would any athlete choose that option?

Some of these dudes are dumbasses. There’s no way to guarantee a win if someone plays injured. In fact, playing injured is even more of a hindrance for the team. Ain’t not starting five but starting 4 1/2.

Dudes play 2K and think they know real life and injuries.

Tommy John ≠ Torn Achilles

Not saying we're there yet but it's becoming such an occurrence it might be a regular thing in the near future.
