The more you know: Healing Timetables for an MCL sprain (3-6 weeks)

[warriorfan]

For a grade 1 MCL injury there may be mild tenderness on the inside of the knee over the ligament. There is usually no swelling. When the knee is bent to 30 degrees and an outward force applied to the lower leg to stress the medial ligament, pain is felt but there is no joint laxity (play valgus stress test video). A grade one tear consists of fewer than 10% of the fibres being torn.

How long will it take to recover?

A mild MCL injury or grade one sprain should take 3 to 6 weeks to make a full recover.
A more severe grade 2 or grade 3 injury may take 8 to 12 weeks.

The meltdown continues...

[SpaceJam]

Good thing his knee will recover in time for that fishing trip!

Damage Control.

Kerr said he isn't injured.

[CarlosBoozer]

How does that explain his turnovers, lazy defense and no heart?

Damage Control.

Kerr said he isn't injured.

Coaches never truthfully disclose the injury status on their players, especially their best ones, and especially when deep in the playoffs

You guys remember when Arian Foster tweeted pictures of his injury a few years ago and his coaching staff went off on him?

You have to keep your opponent in the dark to those type of issues. There is no use giving the other team information that would help them beat you. Telling everyone exactly how injured your Star player is pretty much doing this.

Op is an obsessed liar. Timetable for a grade 1 MCL sprain is 1-3 weeks.

I've had the injury twice while playing college ball. He is fine, this is silly.

Hi Dr. Nick.

[warriorfan]

How does that explain his turnovers, lazy defense and no heart?

He can't explode off his knee to full capacity

He can't separate from his defenders like normally

His defense has actually been pretty good even while injured

The no heart thing is bs, he is giving it all he can while injured, if he didn't have heart he wouldn't be on the court right now

[Goldrush25]

If he isn't healthy, he shouldn't have come back. If you're out there, the implication is that you're healthy enough to play.

You don't come back injured and then get a pass for playing poorly.

This is like Heat stans making excuses for Wade back in 2013.

[LAZERUSS]

The mild "sprain" that he had usually requires about a week.

And the truly great athletes play through it immediately.

Chamberlain played every minute of a seven game series with a partial tear in his calf muscle. Which usually requires walking with a crutch, and the return time is listed at between 4-6 weeks.

Get off this nonsense.

Wrong

How long will it take to recover?

A mild MCL injury or grade one sprain should take 3 to 6 weeks to make a full recover.
A more severe grade 2 or grade 3 injury may take 8 to 12 weeks.

And you have not had the same injury as Steph Curry, there are no two MCL tears that are exactly alike. Chances are your MCL sprain had less tearing than Steph Curry's.

[Uncle Drew]

Your team is and thereby Cuck's reign is over. Get them fishing rods ready, you're going to need them in a few days, Tyrone.

[LAZERUSS]

Glass is without question, the most frail player in the league.

And he had over two weeks off, and then a period of about two games a week.

Furthermore... the Warriors played BETTER without him.
