I recall Marcus Smart having a similar injury somewhat recently. Everyone thought it was an achilles but it was just a bad calf strain
what happened to kd? didnt his calf strain lead to a ruptured achilles when he came back?
@@jelorer yep
I swear Smart has unusual healing properties though
@@jelorer nah, KDs injury looked more like an Achilles injury that was said to be a calf. KD never grabs his Calf like KAT, KD grabbed his Achilles when he went down
KD was plagued with calf injuries leading to his achilles tear. Remember, Dray critisized him faking it. Then when he was somewhat cleared to return, his achilles snapped. Calf injuries are a precursor to achilles tear.
Love your work, always a great source of information.
Same thing happened to me at work a few years ago. I thought someone threw a rock at me or hit me with a stick. Ended up being a muscle in my calf. Hurt like hell for a few days but it was close to a non issue in less than two weeks.
Same thing happened to me. Now I'm a vegetable
The difference is that you're not a professional athlete who relies heavily on their legs and are constantly sprinting/jumping. If you try to rush back too soon from injuries like that it can lead to worse re-injuries. Just look what happened to KD
I had the same thing happen tennis tendon snapped. Calf looks a little weird but still works great.
Love how quickly your videos come out! Great content my guy
Had something similar happen to me. I tore my calf, almost full tear on my gastrocnemius and partially on the soleus. It took me forever to get back to fitness way longer than I thought it would. Happened playing soccer, I would have sworn someone kicked but there was no one there
This happened to me years ago when I was reffing a kids soccer game. I was just standing there and I swore someone kicked the soccer ball into my calf. Had to limp off and just wait it out. Got better after several weeks but that muscle still look a little different.
Thanks for the article in the description doc!
I remember someone tore their Achilles going for a layup on a fast break while I was chasing them down. They swore I kicked/tripped them, and there was nothing I could say to make them believe otherwise
F him. He can't do shut anyways. I would have looked him down
Why would you kick them?
@@EweCantHandletheTruth facts, that dude is a nutcase man
My dad tore his Achilles. He also he thought someone hit him at first
I hope you hit that one million subscriber mark soon !!!
Thank you for sharing
🤗🇺🇲🙏
Great breakthrough on Karl Anthony towns injury
Thank you Brian! Would love to hear your thoughts on Justin Fields and how the reports went from shoulder dislocation to shoulder separation with partially torn ligaments and the recovery time.
As many Weekend Sports Players, I’ve had this injury twice! Each calf muscle had a tear. I did the same thing Karl did. I thought my brother kicked me in my calf after I grabbed a rebound. I looked back and he was 10 feet away. So weird to have that feeling! I fully recovered in 2 months and was always able to walk around, even with some discomfort. Ankle area turned black and blue a couple days after the injury.
Thanks doc. You're the man
Consider a plantaris muscle rupture. This is typically felt as a sudden pain like a kick or slap in the upper calf and fits this mechanism of injury.
I hate to see players get injured. Heal up 🙏🙏! Let’s go Lakers
Phew. Came here immediately after I saw him go down! Thanks Doc!
Doc i’ve been here for a good min, first 1k and always get my check in. proud to watch u man
Thank you Brian for all you do for sports medicine, I heard about this injury and I instantly thought “Brian’s got a video already for sure” and low and behold… prayers up to KAT the iron man 🙏🏿
Ruptured Achilles? I ruptured both of mine. I know that look-back
Damn u good?
@@lit7112 Lol yea man I’m on my feet. I can’t hoop for shit anymore, but I’m walking bro
@@snipernosniping4714 damn that’s tuff at least you’re walking
Same here bro did both but I’m back to balling
@@AdotGdotEdot That’s what’s up brodie. Is your game any different after the injury?
something similar happened to me multiple times in high school as a basketball player. both times I had my coach massage my right calf muscle and was back in a week..
I think my situation was more of cramps than a proper strain though.. definitely wasn't a tear. We would train twice a day on Wednesdays and it happened when I was severely fatigued and taking off for a layup in traffic under the hoop. Both actions happened a month apart on the same day of the week.
I ruptured both Achilles Tendons the 1st time was pretty depressing but the 2nd time I knew just what to do post surgery
How did u rupture them ?
About 5 years ago I ruptured my Achilles and it definitely felt like getting hit with baseball bat. When I turned and saw nobody near me I immediately knew the tendon was blown. Thompson test and ultrasound confirmed it. Worst pain I’ve ever felt. Glad it’s not worse for KAT!
Could you review the i jury of Nhl player hit with the puck vgk vs bluejackets
I had this exact thing happen to me. Felt like someone hit me in the back of the calf with a hammer. I was in a cast/boot for a couple months and then had another few months of physical therapy.
Calf strain I had that before problem is it always keeps coming back
Can you do an Update Video on his Injury Please? I got him on my Fantasy Team and he is still out indefinetly
Can you do the Tristan Wirfs injury?
Dr, do you remember this looks like the same injury KD had before he tried to come back in the finals and tore his Achilles. Is this similar to the first injury KD had? If so how careful should they be bribing him back too early to avoid what KD went through?
That's the injury that happened to me it hurts so bad
DOC I need your help I been watching you for a while now. I have been waiting for a video like this because I think the same thing happened to me. It feels like I got shot in the calve but behind the big muscles. I can walk and workout but certain movements like pushing off (I’m a wreslting coach too) pinch that or activate that feeling. I literally fall the same way he does. It goes away after a few days of rest but it can pinch anytime I do something super active. I’m wondering if it’s the same thing. Please any advice. I can’t even explain it to my doc it’s a weird feeling.
Doc when will a Achilles rupture most likely happen I know they happen in both nba and NFL but when will it most likely happen
The visual recognition and gut drop feeling still engrained seeing Kobe going thru that calf grab
Yup, same thing happened to me playing volleyball. I jumped for a block and thought I got nailed by a ball by a stray ball from other court. I was so confused and my calf hurt like hell. Several days later it turned all kinds of purple. Took months to feel normal, but I’m just a rec player.
Achilles... damn
Yo doc. How can an athlete prevent this kinds of stuff?
What are best practices for landing, running, walking?
Not landing not running not walking
Basketball is really hard on the legs no matter if your're in the best shape of your life. Look at Derrick Rose
@@Steve-mp7by he also never really stretched before he suffered his ACL injury… you’d be surprised how stretching can do wonders. Every goalie does it, and rarely suffer from any lower body injury, while they use their legs more often than a NBA player and extort their legs into positions where it would hurt any other person.
@@ghost-whitesand9447 It's also genetics. I hurt my knee once and stopped playing forever. Its not worth it
It looked like a lot of us went through the same thing. I pulled mine playing basketball too and I looked back because I thought somebody kicked me. But the second time it felt like a piece of paper being torn in half.
I always wondered why the Achilles’ tendon needs to be so long and then I realized that the calf muscle needs to be close to the knee for efficiency. If the calf was down by the ankle, it would be like having ankle weights on. Pretty cool that nature figured this out.
Looked like a calf strain to me. I had the exact same thing happen to me and it was a grade 2 strain. Out for a month.
2:38 so that’s why I constant reoccurring hamstring strains in my hamstrings
How are you so fast??
He jus said on stream he has a grade 3 calf strain, can you explain?
Had the same thing happen officiating football.
That what I felt when some I tore my patella tendon worst pain in my life. It felt like some one kicked me from behind the knee I had to get knee surgery
Ive seen a dude get hit by a giant boulder flying down a hillside and he shook it off and was fine. But if you step wrong one time your muscles and such freakout and take you out.
KD before he ruptured his Achilles, it was a calf strain for him too. Hopefully KAT gets the rest he needs and heals up. But twolves not looking good.
Thompson test laying prone is damn near as accurate as an MRI, lol....
We have seen calf stains lead to Achilles tear
KAT is still out from this which is still baffling, clearly seems to be like a calf tear to me
The way he looked back thinking he was kicked, made me think it was his Achilles. I snapped mine while playing ball, and I thought for sure I was kicked really hard.
How do you avoid this injury?
Tore my tennis tendon like that playing with my puppies. Healed quickly.
That moment physiotutors show up. Hail the boys!!
Sounds like an Achilles
Achilles🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
There's ghosts out there
Remember that’s what happened to KD calves injured and then tear.
I thought that I hurt my knee playing basketball a few years ago when it felt like someone hit the back of my knee with a bat. The doctor told me the joint was stable, and I probably strained the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the femur (I can't remember the medical name). Given that everything felt normal a few weeks later, I guess he was right.
Just announced he will be missing 4-6 weeks, why such a long recovery?
Achilles smh
That happen to me playing softball i thought they hit me with the softball.
Karl Anthony Towns WHATTT HAPPENNEDDD
KD had a 'calf strain' a few years back when everyone knew his achilles was about ready to explode.
Towns will need a substantial amount of rest to not risk his Achilles tendon, they don't need to lose him and its not the playoffs or a very important period of the regular season
In the famous words of kobe to Klay " did you kick me"? Klay "No"
Ahh that zipper feeling…. The horror
Ah hell.
Sheesh, a couple years ago.. I was hoopin with friends nd others outside. There were people nearby with lax sticks that were passing each other the ball. Some from that group ended up playin with us later. We’re runnin the fast break, I’m passed the ball nd as I planted my foot. As soon as I lifted my heel, I felt such force, that I looked behind myself as I decelerated instantly. I immediately thought maybe one of the lax players ended up hitting my heel with their lax ball by accident. It felt like such a small, dense hit that I was lookin for a ball that may have rolled off nearby but the guys said the ball was still resting in the stick. Some random dude commented it may be my achilles but I shrugged it off, suggesting it was my heel; I didn’t fully understand the connection😅. I couldn’t bear weight on the back of my foot but I never got it properly checked out. I was back to bearing weight comfortably (running) after 2-3 weeks
When Durant tore his achillies the Warriors reported it as a calf strain. What teams report during the game is irrelevant as they have to report something
Durant had a calf strain too remember. I hope they don't rush him back
Thats what happened to KD vs the raptors in finals.
I don’t it’s Achilles at all, he went straight for the knee or hamstring
I thought it was a PCL/LCL
Remember that kid from Pet Cemetary?
did he call rajon rondo chris paul?
Torn Achilles for sure
He's STILL out, but close to returning.
Could just say "same thing that happened to Kobe and KD" but that doesn't take up 6 minutes of your day
Dr. Sutterer, if I lived in your home state, and near the city you work in, I think you would be an outstanding psychiatrist for me!
Except he’s not a psychiatrist….
@@EweCantHandletheTruth yes he is! It says so if you look up his medical field.
Achilles
You shouldn't be flat footed!! This is why you're taught to be on the balls of your toes in sports. This is why KAT is susceptible to injury. I just hope he doesn't come back to soon before he builds enough strength in his calf.
Do eagles CJGJ lacerated kidney
KAT needs rest. KD had the same thing before blowing his Achilles
You gotta know when you don't have good material to analyze
Fast with it😢
Najee Harris thoughts?
calf tear. bet hes out least 8 weeks
Timberwolves are cursed...
That's how I feel about my blazers too
Million dollar athletes can't even take a step backwards?
Sometime in life shit happens. I'm old, so itbwas probably longer ago than what I think it is,, but the starting Noter Dame qb went to kneel down in the victory formation, and tore his ACL.
Was it a ghost that kicked him?
This sucks specially if it’s a serious injury and it’s his Achilles but with that said the twolves are just screwed. That move they made will not be good because Rudy is no leader and the way he talks and feels himself is not good because he doesn’t have the talent so won’t get respect. Now KAT this guy is also not good for a team if he needs to be a leader. He has a lot of skill and I’m sure he’s a good guy but he’s just a goofball and doesn’t bring that presence. And hearing him talk he’s just awkward and communication sucks. Dlo is just some average guy and their priced possession ant man just has a different swag and ain’t gona listen or put up with these bosses no offense so they need to trade either him or towns for a leader who can speak up and people will listen
They had it when Jimmy Butler was there KAT goofball ass was crying
👻
As a KAT fantasy owner this sucks
Terrible running mechanics
He’s toast 💀 like boogie
Bruh cousins is way bigger and heavier. Kat is more of a finned big so if a big can survive it it would be him.
Unlike boogie kat got a 100 milly deal already he good
You’re both 1 hunnit 🙌🏽
*finesse
toast yet he came back today and hit two clutch free throws tonight you're comment is toast just like you're life
KAT is one of the softest players in the NBA
Watching here from the PH. ❤️
Also lol @ all the people telling doc "so it's an achilles" hahaha
1st
Third :/
Bro got called out by the Creator 💀
I’m always watching
