Re: NBA Off Topic

I hope this means Lance Stephenson will continue to get more minutes.He been playing well hope he can continue to show what he can do and prove why he was one of the top recruits coming out of HS.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Yeah, I'm still waiting for Shannon Brown to prove why he was the 5th best recruit coming out of HS as well.

So what's exactly involved with this process/procedure? What are the details and how does it work.

If these are legit...I like them.

Not that I think they look great. Just breaks up to monotony.

Knicks never have alternates besides the hideous green.

I wish the blue piping was just thicker on these.

It would be hilarious if they only wore these when they played the Bucks

Damn, that's very tough for Granger and that is a injury that will linger throughout the reminder of his career. Tim Duncan was diagnosised with the same issue in one of his knees (right quad - actually) back in 2009, but didn't miss any substantial time. The guy may not look like it, but Duncan is as tough as nails and doesn't have the media sensationalize his injuries (like other famous players). That injury is the main reason why Duncan has declined steadily, yet he seems to be playing at a good level right now.

So what's exactly involved with this process/procedure? What are the details and how does it work.

I don't believe there is a procedure that can be done to aid Danny with that specific injury, obviously I'm not a doctor, so I could possibly be wrong. I believe the best they can do for him is rest and rehab. It'll be a injury he's going to battle with for the duration of his career, sadly.

What's the injury

Its it like Steve Francis...the one that ended his career

Here's what I found on it:

Danny Granger, 29 year-old 6'8" Indiana Pacers forward, received an injection of cortisone and will reportedly miss at least three months with a diagnosis of patellar tendinosis, or Jumper's Knee. Though Granger apparently wanted to play through the pain, Pacers' management is wisely looking to protect its investment in its offense.
Three months may seem like a long time, especially in light of the fact that no surgery is involved, but this is one of those rare occasions when a club appears to be establishing realistic expectations rather than offering up only wish-list-like optimism.

The term tendinopathy covers both bases, Patellar tendinitis traditionally referred to an injury resulting in chronic pain due to an inflamed tendon, while tendinosis referred to a degenerative condition of the tendon. Prevailing thought now points to the fact that even tendinitis entails microscopic degenerative lesions or ruptures, with or without inflammation.

Surgical intervention for Jumper's Knee is generally considered only when considerable conservative treatment fails or in the case of a ruptured tendon.
Granger will get some rest while his injection acts to reduce the inflammation in the area and the tendon is allowed to heal. However, he will undoubtedly have ongoing rehab to strengthen all related musculature, initially without working through the knee joint. Stretching will likely be a part of his program as will cardiovascular exercise that will not aggravate his condition (such as an upper body bicycle).
Studies have shown that athletes who suffered Jumpers Knee are more likely to suffer mild but long-term symptoms than those who had no similar complaints during their playing careers.

So it's basically Jumper's Knee, which if you played any type of Sport or Physical Activity, it can get painful as hell when you have your knee bent a certain way.
