This. I really hope they gave him some steroid shots and it isn't very sore. Even then I think Kawhi still plays. Probably will be no better than 70%. Ballpark estimate I would have had him at an 85% for game 1.
It's been around but only lately has that alternative therapy made its way to more "credible" grounds like uptodate. In med school we learn the ole ladder therapy for asthma management and exacerbations but once you get out into practice therapies are altered like crazy. About the only thing that is consistent with general asthma therapy is albuterol.

I was a Bad Boys fan back in the day ... have a renewed appreciation for Isiah going off in the '88 finals on a bad ankle.
Are you done with your residency? Either way, what specialty did you pursue?
Same, I was playing ball in some sock-like shoes (big mistake). I continued playing the game but then for a week I had to use crutches for precaution. I think he'll be good to go

I took a LOA and deferred a year for personal reasons, about to be M3. I continued at a local med school that just opened this year.
Good stuff, g/l with everything.
The day after it happens it hurts more. The problem is that if the ankle was already injured it takes time to heal. Playing the next or the second day is not good. Sure you xan play, but jumping and lateral quickens are not the same. I sprained my ankles a lot playing basketball and it takes at least 2 weeks to heal. And I am thinkink about a mild sprain. The Kawhi thing is a little bit more serious cause he did it 3 times in a week. In my opinion he should not play anymore even tho I am sure he wants to play.
I've had a similar bad streak. Sprained the same ankle in 3 consecutive playing sessions. First time I missed about 3 days, 2nd time I missed about 10 days and 3rd Sprain took about a month to heal. I actually had to drive back with my left foot after that 3rd sprain.
Was it that bas Zsa Zsa?
thanks
it just depends. when i was younger and used to ball a lot, i sprained my ankle and was unable to walk on it at all but felt okay within a week or so. ive also had minor sprains where i could walk immediately after but it was tender for awhile. kawhi needing the trainer to help him off to the locker room was not a good sign but it just depends....i think with 5.5 days off he should be tender come saturday still but as long as he doesnt tweak it again he should be ok, imo
even if you can walk fine, for me even after mildish sprain ankle not quite right for more than a month.
I purposefully sprained my ankle as soon as i saw this thread so that I could give an educated answer on the topic brought up by OP. It hurts like heck!! It took me 3 tries of jumping up & landing on an uneven surface to get a good pop in my ankle. I'm not sure if the pop came from a ligament or a bone, but i will keep ya'll updated as soon as the swelling & the bleeding stops
From my playing days, I was off the ankle for 2-3 days and had a fair range of motion for a week but wasn't completely healed for about 2 weeks. Still felt a little pain when doing typical basketball maneuvers.
get well soon, my nig
I've actually never had a sprained ankle while landing after a jump shot. Literally every single one of them has occurred while driving to the rim. I'm guessing it helps that I barely even jump on my jump shots, ala Brent Barry. Just wish I had his accuracy as well.
If you're counting hours, he's really got 6 full days off.
When I sprained my ankle for the first time ever I was screaming it hurt so bad, but it definitely matters on the severity. Kawhi is going to get the best treatment you can get though lets hope he can try it out. I hope he wears a ankle brace though this time. Ive worn a ankle brace before and its not that bad at all to play with.
I have sprained my ankle about 6 or 7 times from playing basketball. The first time I ever got hurt I tried coming back immediately after a week to play and I actually ended up re aggravating it. Even after re-aggravating it I still tried to play again because I still had 60 percent mobility but eventually I got frustrated after a week or two since I couldn't get back 100 percent of my mobility. I then decided to shut it down for a month and regained a 100 percent mobility. Spurs have great doctors but I think even with the best doctors it would probably take Kawhi a few weeks to be a hundred percent after his recent sprains.
I've injured my self playing ball twice in my life. First was in middle school. Ball was heading out of bounds and made a ginoblili type save except that when I landed my right foot was turned and I came down with a 100% of my weight on the side of my right foot and it popped. Loudly! I immediately went down in a heap of mind blinding pain. I immediately untied my shoe and tightened it the tightest I've ever tied my shoe before. When I saw kawhi do that I said oh ing . It took me two weeks before I could walk normal and probably a month before I trustedjumping around on it. I never went to the dr and I'm sure that probably didn't help.
The other time I was balling at the gym and I tore my acl and meniscus and severely sprained my mcl. Damn near a complete knee tear. I've recovered and even played full court since then. But I'm retired playing basketball tbh.
One more thing about my ankle. After all these years I can almost hyper extend my ankle and I get a really loud satisfying pop. Sometimes at the end of a long day and I recline and watch tv it will pop three times in one. It feels great although I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

Goddam son.
Yeah, and Timmy developed chronic problems because of continuing to play with injuries. Look up "tendinosis". It's an over-use injury, and it never goes away. Basically, if you don't give tendons time to fully heal and replace damaged collagen, the body will sort of patch the area with what amounts to scar tissue. The scar tissue isn't stretchy like the original collagen. It's a problem in itself, but it also leaves the tendon weakened and subject to future injuries.
They never announced the grade of the original sprain. But even if it was a Grade 1, it was bad enough that he didn't play the next playoff game. Getting that same ankle "tweaked" that soon afterward - not once, but twice? There's going to be some tearing, even it it's only what is known as micro-fissures. Could he play with that? Sure - especially with a shot of lidocaine and a couple of Toradol. Is it a risk of more serious, longer-lasting problems? Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't play with any tearing still present in a tendon.
That's just the mechanics of how it works. Without knowing what's on his scans, and what his physical workup looked like, there's zero chance of guessing whether they'll let him play soon. And the Spurs clearly aren't giving any hints.
