There is a workload ceiling for Durant. If he attempts to play as much and as intensely as he did in the 2019 playoffs he will tear his achilles tendon again.

At best, any surgery restores 95% of the ankle's ability to absorb repeated shocks. Surgery does not make your ankle stronger.

Leading up to his 2019 ankle problem Durant played 11 games in 25 games @ 39.5 minutes per game. If the Suns end up in a 15-day 7-game series.... hold your breath Suns fans.

Chances are Durant will get a different injury before his achilles tears again though.

Russ has only been gone for two games and the Lakers are already a LOT more fun to watch.

They're also a lot deeper with additional wings in their 20s and a replacement who can actually shoot. Just make sure Russell doesn't have any cameras in the locker room.

Durant didn't slip on a wet floor.. he just landed poorly.

Durant needs improve his landings

Skip Bayless says its likely there will be more surgery for my tendonitis spirit animal Kawhi Leonard. The guy's muscles generate too much power and force while tiring too quickly for his poor helpless tendons and ligaments.

These playoffs are crazy, from the popoffs to the injuries.

Kawhi tears MCL again? Wonder if clips or anyone going to continue to sign him to maxes just for the hope that something will happen in the playoffs while he just sits. Almost a blessing in disguise for the raps to lose him for nothing if this goes on.

Skip Bayless is right again! Surgery for Kawhi.

Kawhi has a torn meniscus. inflammation INSIDE the joint generally indicates internal damage. The MCL is outside the joint. Dr. Sutterer explains it nicely in the video i posted.

Dr. Sutterer nailed it again. I suspect degenerate gamblers watch his vids to get insights on injuries.

It is fascinating that when Kawhi finally got his tendons in solid condition that other connective structures failed on him. His muscles simply generate too much power... he has over done it with weight lifting and strength training. At this point he can be a Designated Hitter in MLB. Any other sport will result in injuries. Maybe bowling or snooker?

Ironically, all the limping around he was doing in the 2019 playoffs while he accumulated more playing minutes than any one in the league ... it actually protected all the connective tissues in his legs.

When Kawhi plays at 100% full power his connective tissues fail every time.

Jrue Holiday... Jimmy Butler is your father...

with every Heat rotation player fouling out the game ended with Miami having Jimmy and 4 guys named "who" on the floor with him. LOL.
