WEEI said we'll get an update from Danny Ainge at 4pm...this is going to seem like a lifetime

Oh lord if the update is coming from Ainge, call me a downer or paranoid but that doesn't seem good.

So, it sounds like he's going to be fine in a few weeks at this point, right?  I went from feeling like I just saw my best friend get shot to convincing myself he's gonna be allright in a few weeks like Rondo is after a day of this.

Well I think he usually joins the show at 4pm anyways for normal interviews, I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

Yeah, its his regularly scheduled interview.  Although be warned, whenever there is anything interesting going on, he is very late, and sometimes doesn't show up at all.  I wouldn't build your day around listening to him at 4pm.

When I saw his injury I thought "calf strain/tear" immediately, but wanted to reserve judgment. I have struggled with bad calves for almost a decade. The most common way to injure it is just like KG did - a plant and push, without any contact. The injury is quite common among runners, but I hurt mine many times playing hoops.

If it's bad (grade 2 or 3), you feel a "pop" in the back of the leg, and you are done for a few weeks at least. See below for the grades and healing times:

KG is an elite athlete getting the best possible treatment, so maybe the outlook is better for him.

What depresses me about this is that even when you come back, it extremely easy to re-injure. That has its own risks, but also makes you tentative when pushing off with that leg.

I don't know if I ever thought a video of a basketball player slowly walking out of a hospital would be of serious comfort to me before last night.

If people are able to walk even with torn ACLs without any results what good is this - am I missing something?

Perk certainly couldn't walk with a torn ACL -.-
Relax everybody, KG will be fine

[greenpride32]

While it's looking much better than what it could have been, I'm still holding my breath until he hits the court with the same jump he's had all year.  We don't just need KG on the floor to win, we need a 100% healthy KG to take the title.

He wasn't 100% last year and we were within a Perk injury of winning the title, and we are deeper this year.

Not that I don't want him healthy but just saying.  You might be right because of the greater challenge the Heat will present us with.  Let's just hope he will be fine.



And yeah, people can't always walk on torn ACLs or injuries.  It depends.  I've seen a friend tear his ACL and he couldn't walk that's for sure.

Sit him until next week

Best thing to take from it is that they didn't put him on a crutch on the way out.  That's gotta be a good thing.
