Nuggets Nate Robinson may have tore his ACL

**MeloHype** · 01-31-2014

The New York Daily News is hearing "word out of Denver" that Nate Robinson has a torn ACL.

So far, Denver media outlets are only reporting a sprained ACL. It could be a case of semantics. If the sprain is bad enough that it requires surgery, Robinson will be done for the year regardless. Look for Evan Fournier to be the first guard off the bench behind Ty Lawson and Randy Foye going forward. Fournier had 19 points, six assists, five rebounds, three steals and three 3-pointers in 38 minutes on Wednesday with Lawson (shoulder) sidelined.

dude often has to throw himself up in the air to make up for his lack of size and it's already kind of a miracle that he's lasted so many years imho.

Damn, seems like every other PG has leg issues in this league, tbh.

CP3's bad knees
Rose torn acl, meniscus
Rondo torn acl
Kirby tore achilles playing PG, came back playing PG and fractured his knee
Stephen Curry glass ankles
Baron Davis horrible ACL and MCL tear
Shaun Livingston tore everything humanly possible in his knee

Seems like PGs are alwaying injuring their knees or ankles, though Nate is a midget SG, he's been trying to play like a PG for some years now, he's gotten better at it and finally got his multi-year deal. Kinda feel bad for the little man.

Do you think they will ever have a Tommy John equivalent to ACL injuries? I mean, to make the recovery time faster? Perhaps not but maybe one day there will be bionic knees for athletes and old folks alike.
