    Victor Wembanyama is not allowed to play in back to back games and will need an updated MRI after a couple of ankle sprain injuries. I don't understand what they are doing and it could be setting a dangerous precedent for the young star.

    The spurs imo are very clearly trying to very slowly get Wemby used to playing in the NBA. They don't care about this season at all. I think they're looking to slowly prepare his body by adding size and making sure his ligaments and joints progressively get stronger until he's ready to lose all restrictions

    I think the main issue is that everyone is in uncharted territory with such an athletic 7'4 player.
    But two things: The Spurs hired his french trainer who has work with him the season before so they have addiditional knowledge.
    And the Spurs medical staff has an excellent record.

    At 8:47 we see the perfect image- Wembanyama with Porzingis' face right in front. Porzingis was very similar to Victor, a physical freak with crazy skills. But Porzingis has struggled with constant injury and has missed entire seasons and has played more than 60 games only 3 times in his career. I don't blame the Spurs for being cautious, but I know caution can be frustrating to both players and fans.

    • @TiVeigaKung

      Sorry but this isn't a great take. Porzingis is nothing like Wembanyama. Victor is atleast 2 inches taller, with a much bigger wing span who can cut & is athletic. Wemby is springy & has a developed shot selection already. With that being said, when you're in that 7"2 + height like they both are, yea, injuries are always going to be a concern.

  • @TheCriminalViolin
    @TheCriminalViolin Před 5 měsíci +4

    As someone experienced with hypermobile joints, including in the ankles (if not especially), I've found often once you roll your ankle like that that much, that it gets loose (technically MORE loose), as it's been heavily stretched out. The looser it gets, the more it will begin to roll on its own when it normally wouldn't. And if you notice this, best advice is to stop playing hard for awhile. I wound up tearing my ATFL playing a game in a non-contact fashion as my foot didn't snap back after having jumped directly into the air for a rebound. I believe a part of why and how that happened is from not giving it a rest after having rolled it multiple times. Again, when it's somewhat normal to roll ankles from hypermobility, it often has zero pain.

Having him watch some games and listen to his teammates and coaches a little bit and also seeing the game from a spectator’s point of view, listening to the refs, etc. will not hurt his career. Also, some injuries happen from fatigue being a factor.

    Spurs have always been super careful with all their stars in terms of any aggravated injuries. No matter how small. This is par for the course. They think if they can manage the little nagging injuries, then their players can have long careers.
    In this case, especially because of Victor's body type, they are extra safe.

  • @jakestine4753
    @jakestine4753 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I think they ordered a 2nd MRI because they were _really_ hoping to have enough evidence to go to the NBA and sit their star player and not get penalized for tanking. The problem for Wemby is that the Spurs need to tank the rest of the year to seal their draft pick, especially with stiff competition in the form of the Pistons and the Wizards, and there's just not much value to having Wemby on the floor at that point. Also, back-to-backs are hard on everyone, even youngsters. Whether a team is tanking or in first-place, I don't fault any coach for wanting to sit their star players for at least one game in a back-to-back, especially considering how generally compressed NBA seasons have become since they expanded the playoffs formats and added an extra week for "media day bonanzas" and such.

    I personally don’t think there is anything wrong with being extra cautious in year one with wemby. He has an absolutely unique body and skill set, so it’s hard to use precedent when dealing with him. I think if the spurs were even somewhat close to .500 or in contention for a playoff spot they wouldn’t have issue running him out there a full set of minutes. Their nightmare scenario would be a serious injury to wemby in a developmental year where winning is not the main priority. I’m sure they are communicating that with victor.

    In Germany if you have a grade 3 ankle sprain you get surgery to repair the ankle. You get ONE CHANCE to repair an ankle, if not the strength and laxity are never the same. We treat ankle sprains in America like no big deal, and kids especially are back out on their near broken ankles in a few weeks, doomed to resprain & resprain again & again.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@InvisibleHolelike what Andrew is saying that the more tall you are, the most likely you will get injured; though small players like myself can get injured( in fact I have multiple sprain ankles and finger jams playing basketball), but taller players due to their anatomy, their biomechanics are more prone to get injured.
      For example: An athlete that I trained from last year, she 6’3 who played Power forward/Center- very tall but due to her biomechanics and also her gender, she suffered an ACL injury.
      She’s now a Division 1-2 or maybe 3 athelte(don’t know which division) but it took me and my fellow coaches and physical therapists and doctors to help her get back to playing the sport that she loves.

      Im actually having a hard time finding good studies on injury occurrence and tall athletes but i feel like what you just mentioned feels like anecdotal evidence. Your player tearing their ACL and you saying its cuz of their gender or height is subjective. Lots of injuries are contact injuries so you could have a 7'0 tall athlete plagued with contact injuries and you cant turn around and say tall people are more likely to get injured cuz theyre tall. MOI is good for determining what body part is injured but not predicting the specific injury I believe. Maybe correlations can be made between MOI and a Tall athlete population Im not sure honestly @@josephdizon3493

      @TavionDefense honestly have no opinion, first because I don't know next year prospects yet, and second because Iif they get 1st pick and a guard is the 3rd or 4th best player in the draft, and the top 3 are players like Banchero or Chet, they would end up picking a center or forward even if what they need is really a 2 guard. But I think if the best player in the draft is a great PG, it's the best situation for them, Devin Vassell can fill it up but he's not a very good playmaker

    One of the foundations of medicine is to not order a test if the result won't change patient management. The sports med team HAS to have an understanding of the natural history of these injuries and have a a reasonable clinical question to be answered by the MRI. Otherwise it's a waste of time, money, radiologist liability/license risk, and shit a waste of electricity. This is pretty typical of the rest of clinical medicine in 2024 unfortunately. Just image for imaging sake and see what happens, because "why not"

      In this case the test can change team management, but not so much player management: If the GMS can order tests enough to find the slightest bit of evidence that Wemby has a documentable injury, that will allow them to shut Wemby down for whatever games they want through-out the season without being penalized by the NBA for tanking and sitting their star player (which the NBA now has some rules against).
