The original injury was not simply a calf strain, it also had to do with the achilles. I personally believe that they've kept it quiet until now, post rupture and surgery to repair it, due to insurance purposes. This isn't the first time that a team medical staff had to keep something quiet, in order to protect the franchise.
It is called turning a blind eye.
From what I know, they should have never iced him up after the first quarter. Ice does eliminate swelling, but also slows circulation. Once they add ice to a player ala a pitcher in baseball, quarterback in football, you are shut down for the rest of the game. You need to rewarm the area before returning to action, and that takes time. On the sidelines like that, you are supposed to enhance circulation, not impeding it. It is the same method that players with bad backs use. You keep the area warm so that it does not stiffen up.
LOL bros the got the date memorized. Glad for dirk tho
Ay side note, anyone in the dmv know of any saturday day parties? Like how they do it out in vegas or jersey?
Never underestimate the ego of a professional athlete, especially one at the top level. They never know when to quit. He has his own staff after his situation with the Jones fracture a few years back. He was playing while hurt back then.
And that’s where the BS lies. It’s nit a collaborative effort. Doctors have the say. Period. THAT is their job. That’s what the medical staff is for
They aren't a elite defensive team tho
