Any update on MKG?

[rhyslloyd]

Has anyone heard an update on MKG and his status or timetable for return?

Also, can anyone explain what exactly a stress reaction is and its severity?

It's a hairline fracture in a bone. Severity? Relatively minor but it can become severe if not properly treated. Just needs rest.

I'm sure you saw Kevin Ware's leg snap in half versus Duke. That's what happens when a stress fracture gives out. Same thing with Julius Randle. Scary thoughts because it's pretty easy to go undetected.

So, yeah, it's a pretty non-significant injury as long as you allow it proper time to heal. Otherwise it will keep getting worse until something breaks.

What causes it? No clue. I'm sure the excessive running and jumping on hardwood floors by oversized men has something to do with it. Bones aren't made to take that abuse.

Yeah, it sucks that MKG is out because of something so minor. But I'd rather him rest a few weeks and let it heal than potentially breaking his foot and missing months.

Great. Great.

Preciate the detail. I really hate it for MKG as he had a lot to prove before the fall in NY and now this.

Damnit, now I've got that Kevin Ware image stuck in my head again.  Remember watching that game when the poo happened.

Sounds legit... do I know anything about it? No but I'll take your word for it.

 

Hope he gets right soon. We need to start stringing some wins together.

I don't know that much about it either. I just know that a stress reaction/fracture is a similar injury. Common sense says that you need time and rest to let it heal or you risk pushing the fracture to a literal breaking point.

Hopefully it isn't something that will linger. MKG gets hurt enough from his style of play without adding these types of things. It sucks because he looked like Scottie Pippen the first 3 games. He's still so young and full of upside.

Upside is one thing but to actually improve, as he has done, is something you have to love. He's a baller and I'm very glad he's on our team. You need to post more man. This forum could use a little more intelligent and positive discussion.

He's always had a relentless motor to match his ability and potential, which is why I loved the pick. Worst case you get a 15+ year SF who is a great defender. If he reaches his potential and continues to improve his offense he will be a All-Star.

I stay away for the most part. There's usually too much stupid in here.

He can't get back fast enough.

He's the team's best player and I don't think it's even close.
