Well, if you haven't seen anything, then we'll have to go with your diagnosis that it's just a "regular ankle sprain."

I agree...and that suggests that the injury wasn't as bad as some would think...

Yeah. The fact that they reevaluated him earlier than expected tells me that he

It might be, but hopefully he is training and his softness will result in a strong push in the playoffs when it counts.

High ankle sprains can take forever to heal properly

Marc Spector

It's not a high ankle sprain. And that's what is so puzzling about it. Usually a

I feel like when I watch the video you don't even really see the ankle turn.

Just making absolutely sure he's healthy for the playoffs? That's my guess.

Most of this era of NBA players are soft

I would venture to guess it’s because players are playing at a much heavier weight today than they did 30 years ago

Well, he's paid by the Jazz and it's his employer who probably is telling him

Sure they can, but the NBA is a players run league

Why should he when his employer doesnt want him too? Do you work when not asked?

I heard reports a couple weeks ago that he may miss the playoffs. Apparently

Possible, but not probable. I think if totally up to him he might already be back. I think they are hoping to have fresh

He has posted some cryptic things on insta. That would worry me. On the other hand

A severe sprain, especially upper ankle can take longer than a break to heal.
