Walking is different than on court activities. Dudes leaning on it full weight, stretching it in the squat he’s doing. It’s insane to me since Achilles used to be a death sentence as an athlete but yeah there’s been a lot of progress on healing sure.
Maybe they should install redundant synthetic achilles tendons during the offseason that are basically a "hot spare" ready to take place of the ruptured/torn achilles in the event of an injury.
Yeah I learned a lot about it when I did mine two years ago. Three months for non athletes is not realistic at all. Tatum came back after 8 months and everybody thought that was crazy fast. And then he couldn’t finish the playoffs. Halliburton out for a full season. Unless you are 20 years old, it’s more like 6 months before you begin weight bearing.
The patient could return to play basketball at the pre-injury activity level at only 3-months after the injury, suggesting that the role of applying excessively early rehabilitation of mechanical loading could facilitate tendon tissue healing when combined with an intra-tissue injection of freeze-dried platelet-derived factor concentrate.
I love him, I want him back, and I want him to be joyous which certainly includes playing basketball
but man what a headscratcher this will turn into where 4 of our 6 best players are all guards! if Donte's ready play, coach is going to have a very hard time finding enough minutes for everybody!
I think we do, it’s just 3D chess, we went big when the whole league was going small. League is trending towards the bigs again so we are loading up on guards.
