Whispers in the Shadows: Doc Rivers' Unyielding Pursuit of Basketball's Elusive Accountability 🏀 Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers

Coli doctors

Average time off for a bad calf strain in the NBA is 4-6 weeks. Hell, KAT missed like 3 months last year with a bad strain.

But hey, I'm sure Giannis is gonna be A-OK after straining his calf two weeks ago.

It's hard to come here for serious sports discourse sometimes, I tell ya

Other aspect of the Giannis injury is his game is heavily reliant on his athleticism (or players need it obv but him more so)

Achilles tear could really derail his career

Yeah, Giannis is not someone I'd put out there when he's dealing with something that has a high re-injury risk. That's what makes calf injuries suck so bad - you have to do nothing while it heals totally, then work to rebuild your strength because you've been idle. Skip any step and aggravate the pull and you're back at square one.

At the bare minimum, you just hope you get through this Pacers series and play the winner of the Knicks/Sixers. The conference semis start May 6-7, Giannis got injured April 9 - at least you re-evaluate at that point. I think it's incredibly irresponsible to put him out there at all this series.

There you go, doc rivers team never fails to impress. Losing by 20 in the middle of 4th quarter at home

If the Achilles is gonna tear, that's happening regardless of how much rest he gets.

Not necessarily. Malcolm Brogdon has the same calf/Achilles soreness last year with the Celtics. The team sat him out multiple games after that, and reduced his minutes, ended up playing in the playoffs with no Achilles tear

 

[UpAndComing]

IF I'm Giannis there's no way I'm playing again this year. Too risky. Aaron Rodgers and KD had those calf strains right before they tore their Achilles. Let's be honest, this Bucks team ain't winning the chip - hell, the Pacers beat them 4 of 5 with Giannis

Facts. The game Bucks did win Giannis had to score 64 points and play high intensity 40+ minutes. No way he should be doing that coming off this injury

Yeah, sounds like he's got a grade 2 strain. There's no way he's playing this round and probably not next one if they make it

Dame is better than Steph though
Surely he can pull this team across the finish line
Ain’t that right beloved @CHICAGO

True. A Top 75 player should be able to win this series with the teammates he has against an inexperienced Pacers

Dame actually plays a lot better without Giannis on the court too, so you'd think he'd find a way to win this series

Doc Kant believe his luck giannis Injury is a blessing in disguise
