Durant's ankle folds 90° and by the time it straightened out, Doc had this video uploaded. Incredible.I love this channel.
Plain physics. law of the lever. His legs are just to damn long.
Should change his channel name to Dr. Flash
I think Muhammad Ali said, "I can turn off the lights and be under the covers before the room gets dark."
This is the way of Dr. Sutterer.
Doc was fast. As soon as KD fell down Doc already putting his tie on.
Bruh... he was born with that tie on 👔
🤣 tie skinny as hell
Games are about to begin and doc Brian is already ironing the shirt
he gotta make money somehow.
🤣🤣🤣 so funny
Man so fast, he almost made this vid before KD slipped lol
😂
He got the script !
😂👍
Lmfaooo
😂😂
The Lakers should hire you considering how fast you address these injuries
Diagnosis and analysis is one thing, treatment and healing is another.
The Lakers most likely know about the details of their players' injuries, they just decide to not share many details. For example LeBron's injured right foot tendon. There are over 100 of those in the human foot, saying he injured a tendon as the real diagnosis would be pretty unprofessional.
He'll be talking about A.D all day
@Mr. Sax Lakers do not need a doctor they need an exorcist to lift up curses, all those foot/ankle injuries must be some sort of curse
when you say lakers you could've just said, Anthony Davis should have you on retainer lol
Perfect timing Doc! Love how the medical information is broken down, clarified and analyzed!
Noone does it better for laymen.
Everytime I see an inversion ankle sprain, I get PTSD from my first severe sprain when I landed on the side of the defender's foot going up for a rebound. One of the most excruciating pains ever.
I once sprained my ankle severely also once when i shot the ball and my defender put his foot under my landing space it was one of the most excruciating pains i’ve ever felt
I landed like that jumping off the back of a box truck(4ft up), couldn't put weight on it for almost a month.
Holy shiit this is what exactly happened to me a week ago, my ankle's still swollen but facts i already am getting ptsd lol 😭
I coach high school volleyball. I had one of my players roll his ankle today. It's interesting how almost everything you said in this video applied to my athlete. The trainer said it looks like an ATFL sprain. He doesn't have a history of sprains, and it was pretty painful (he couldn't walk on it) and swelled up pretty immediately.
You will never be a doctor 😂
@Puppet Master you will never be relevant
@Sven Jorgensenn who cares about relevancy when I’m rich lmfao go coach volleyball while I have all my cars detailed
Reminds me of mine. I was able to play through it with little to no discomfort. I thought it was like every other rolled ankle. Then about 2 hours after the game I could barely walk. Told my parents I was fine. By the time my pride ran out, I couldn't walk at all. I had to be wheelchaired to the hospital.
Boys high school volleyball? Didn't have any guy teams in my area
I had a similar thing happen to me about a decade ago when I decided to skip a couple of stairs and just step off the side and didn't notice the surface was loose. I ended up with a fracture on the top of my foot and I couldn't fit my foot into my shoe for awhile because my ankle was around twice its normal size. I think it was a month or so before it healed up fully but I also didn't do a ton of physical therapy or anything.
The doc is 100% on point here about wanting him to slip. I had injured my ankle like this with almost the same exact movement before. Let me say that the fact that KD generated enough force on his inverted ankle against the floor, and was able to push him up about a foot higher in the air worries me greatly.
Thank you Dr. Sutterer. I feel that you gave us the info faster than we would waiting for the official word. I'm thinking now that Durant misses a couple of games.
From my experience, inversion sprains are always the least severe. Always could walk those off while a high ankle sprain would ruin half a season
I have done the exact same thing. It had been a while since any previous strains. I was playing on it 15 minutes later without any restrictions. There was some pain but who cares. He shouldn’t be gone too long
Happened me to walking home from the bar. Swelling, bruised for a week. Hopefully he's all good
Lmao, 🤦..
It happens to me on occasion for no reason, but I never sprain it until last year when that happened on an overleveled driveway to the street and fell face first. It's nothing bad but a swollen lip and weakened front teeth. I was using a cane for mental support and found out the day after that I did something to my left ankle. Every time it happens, I'm always weary to walk after because it's a whole reaction to the foot going sideways on you. My left foot did go and turn to jelly, where I banged my knees on the gym court over 10 years ago, I think. Nothing bad as I still went to where it happened, and they healed almost a day after during the next day.
I messed my ankle up taking a shit had to get to the bathroom my ankle turned badly when I was trying to get on the seat 🥺
Great video Doc! hey, have you seen Dennis Schröder ankle rolls, they are huge... but his ankle doesn't even swell. It seems this has happened before to him, he even stays in and finishes the games. I know is not an injury but I would love to know why this happens, his latests ankle roll was way more aggresive than KD roll.
Speedy recovery to Durant🖤
Freaking love your content man ! you make me want to injure my ankle just so you can do a breakdown on me
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Doc! I injured my ankle like this before but I had a hairline fracture in mine when comes an injury like this which bone would you say the fracture would occur? Possibly the talus or a cuboid?
He’s not going to respond to you
Hey Doc, how much are low top shoes responsible for all these lower body injuries to players? Back in like the 2000s and before most lower body injuries happened primarily to 7 footers and above or to guys who landed on someone's foot. Now it seems ankles are rolling or Achilles tesring way more frequently with the change to low tops and it seems like the injuries don't need any contact to happen. As a hooper myself I've noticed that high top Jordans and LeBrons have saved me from an injury like this especially when I was younger and always slashing to the rim. The shoe would basically catch my ankle and keep me upright.
Thanks doc! I am more curious how did this happen to KD in the first place. We don't look at our foot when we walk, run or jump but yet we don't turn our ankle 90 degree like KD did normally. 🤔
I had the same thing happen to me in high school. My Dr. told me it would of healed faster if I just broke it. It took 6-8 weeks before I was able to run on it fully. Hopefully his isn't that serious
3 weeks max depending on treatment diet rest
I had the same injury as you in HS as well during a game and it swelled up like a grapefruit. It me me about a month, but it sounds like your sprain was worse than mine. It can be so tricky with sprained ankles and hammys...everyone is different in the way the respond to treatment.
@Thunder Chicken Mine swelled up like that as well. I actually still have a bump on the top of my foot from it, I had a really severe sprain. I definitely agree with you though, everyone is different and depends on how severe it was. Mine was probably healed in about a month as well but I couldn't fully run for closer to 2 months.
@Jay Cee34 Well...not so much. Reports are coming out that its gonna be 4-6 weeks
Love your content! Very informative! I don’t know why I enjoy watching these videos. I know nothing about the human body but I enjoy learning! Thank you!
Hey Doc, can you do a video of Wembeyama’s foot exercises and if they actually help with strengthening and injury prevention?
Wembeyama is a walking injury about to happen. I wish him luck.
@T He’s taller but kinda built like Kevin Garnett . He’s got a lighter more athletic build then most the bigs with feet/leg issues. We will see
@briand2424 And what's the first thing they do when they enter the league? Bulk up.
@GlanzerGaming no they don't
Dayum! That hurts just to look at.... Great video, thank you!
I’ve played basketball before, if you watch from the beginning before he made the turn and jumped. He limped than hesitated he knew that ankle was going to roll. it will be find he’s still finding his strength
You are insanely fast. As soon as this happened I knew I would find your video within the hour!! Keep it up doc 😎
I paid for tickets to see him play tonight. Good thing I went early and was able to get a close of him before the game lol
@jast sayin...don't worry he'll be fine
As least Booker and the Suns played an amazing game for the crowd to compensate for not seeing Durant
Same
@ragnar facts the injury wont be serious im sure he will play next game
durquit is already quitting
He didn't really bend it 90 angles, his shoe slipped off his heel or something, which caused or at least aggravated the injury. You can see it in the replay
Yep. This is Exhibit A why basketball players ought to wear high top basketball shoes, not low tops. This isn’t x-country running.
This just happened to me a week ago when I tried a crossover on a fast break, looked terrible but I have no pain no more and everything seem fine
Well, you’re not KD lol. Advice doesn’t really apply here. Professional athletes get freak injuries from nothing sometimes.
@rileyffs where in my comment did I give advice? I just stated what happened to me lol
Had this happen when I played football and dude foot went into mine while it was like that. This sucks. I never missed a play but sweet jesus did that hurt.
He finished his pre game workout after this and even had a 2 hand dunk to finish out he will be just fine looks like
I was about to say "FUCK!", thank you.
Fine but is gonna be REALLY painful the next day 😬
Man he need some heavy ankle support like curry man tf he doin wit them shoes
@C22 Not necessarily if it's already been a problem. But he might keep tweaking it every day from here on out.
Bro he barely landed he slowly let go of the rim, and playing off the limp
damn so annoying being injurd, i can only imagine what hes going through 😢
I cannot believe it😮.
All the best for KD.
Hell be alright. I’ve had injury’s like that before. It swells up, pain threshold of about 7. After a week or 2 he should be fine.
He finished his pregame workout.
real hoopers know this pain😮💨
Yes
I jumped out the back of a box truck on the job about a decade ago and landed exactly like that, I probably have never screamed so loud in my life. Couldn't put normal weight on it for well over a month, looked like I had a softball in my ankle for over 2 weeks.
My impression of a lot of injuries of lower extremities is that the shoes play a more significant role than it is conveyed in the media. Does anybody agree? It looks to me that in KDs case, his shoe wasn’t aligning with the natural axis of his foot. Therefore he stepped on the soles edge and initiated the torque that led to the sprain.
I did this 2 years ago and I still have pain. The top of my foot gets really stiff.
Scar tissue
@HEALTHY HIMwhat can help this?
@Lifted Energy369 collegen or hyaluronic acid.
This happened 10 years ago it still hurts
@Sven Jorgensenn thank you!
If you notice the ball guys were near his space while he was going for the dunk. Could Kevin had tried to avoid them subconsciously and that may have caused the injury by his body not having proper proprioception?
I wonder if the type of shoe itself that he was wearing had any impact on this? I remember injuring my ankle playing pick-up basketball mainly because I wasn't wearing high-quality basketball shoes.
Dang his ankle hit the floor. That's wild.
This guy hits record button and finds stuff in real time while diagnosing haha amazing
The man is incredibly knowledgeable
He also finished his warmup with no issues
Doc I didn’t think you would comment on this!! Lol you are on it!! I was actually tuning into the game & said KD scratched from playing !! He is so accident prone now I guess as you get older!! Hopefully just a few games!! 👍🙏
I did that jogging 40 years ago and my ankle has remained half again as large as the other normal one.....no internal damage either....just really swollen and sore as hell for a few days...
If this happens to him during a pregame warmup imagine what will happen when he’s carrying the weight of the Sons in the playoffs
If you look at the heel of the shoe; when KD plants with his heel it tilted over the limit of the heel into a inverted slant that pushes his ankle downwards.
I still get quesy watching these but the information is awesome and shows me exactly what things I have injured playing ball
Watching the video of the injury over and over has my mind inverted.
Nobody mentions how he landed on his heel instead of ball of foot. Extremely unstable
This is what happens when you don't work on your muscle memory. If your foot is rolling inward it's because you roll your ankles on the regular. Like just sitting down with ankles rolled
Damn….the injury bug is getting just about everyone this season.
I had this happen in Kobe’s and played in practice the next couple days it hurt but I got it back KD don’t sit out gang you need to keep runnung
LOLZ comparing ymca bballl to the NBA
I got a question for you..I tore my ligament and tendent on my left ankle I had surgery 3 years ago but till this day my ankle still swells up and still pain what is the cause of this?
When I played sports I was the guy who put ankle braces on injured or not. They always make me feel faster and they feel like they should be a part of the uniform anyways
Did a double take when I received a mailer welcoming you to Cape! Hope the area finds you well! Lots of local athletes that will be happy to have your expertise!!
Thank you !
This explanation is exactly why I'm wondering why everyone keeps saying that he slipped? His heel actually planted and then his ankle gave way, almost as if the muscles were too weak to keep it stable. There was actually no appearance of moisture or his heel sliding at any moment during the video.
UFC doctor turned NBA doctor 😂 you’re a genius man
Something tells me his shoe wasn't tied correctly 😑 I've had this happen to me plenty of times
You said he limped off but he didn’t limp.
He actually finished his warmup with no problems. Hopefully he’s only out for a few games.
Such great unbiased informative videos especially MMA but all sports thanks learn so much keep conten
if you watch it in slow-motion you can actually see that he is already in an inversion position right before making ground contact; I would not call that slipping, and this should definitely be addressed in physiotherapy from a motor control perspective
also interesting to keep in mind is the whole discussion around ankle taping and its usefulness, you could argue that ankle taping gives you a wrong sense of protection (in the end I would say it is more important how you move and land, rather than if you're taped or not)
It didn't look like he slipped at all. His foot just started with an odd angle and never got flat and then turned over because he took a powerful unilateral leap that pushed his ankle all the way down
Friend just broke his fifth metatarsal this exact same way. No weight bearing for two months and still in a walking boot now. He’s lucky it wasn’t worse
Look at how nice and respectful these comments are compared to the video where LeBron injured his ankle. That one was completely toxic.
Damn that looks way worse in slow motion, I thought it was a minor tweak that will probably keep him sidelined for a game or two, but now I don't know. Lets see what the official diagnosis comes out to be.
I love the breakdown Doc it was very interesting
I’ve done this before and my ankle swelled so big I couldn’t wear shoes for a week
Question?.. Does the fact that he is not landing.. But ..going up as he rolled it ..and is that force greater or less than the force of a rolled ankle on landing
... ? and could the difference in the motions be a factor?
Can the Doctor answer do you think players wearing low top shoes contributes to these type of injuries ?
KD is still trying to get up off the floor and you're already uploading! So fast!
Maybe you could do a short video on shoe design if that could potentially help lower the risk to the ankle!
Yeah i'm sure those multi Billion a
Dollar high Performance manufacturers just hadnt thought of making injury preventive shoes, his Video surely will change the world
My ankle is like that, it suddenly folds even I'm just walking.
Interesting that he finished his warm up without any visible discomfort.
Adrenaline my friend
Yup. Happens to any hooper. Adrenaline can do that to you.
I,for the life of me, can’t understand why everyone just quits when they twist or roll an ankle. It’s like they took an arrow to the knee and their leg is going to fall off.
Small thing at 0:16, Durant already has played 3 games as a member of the Suns. This was not his debut night.
I had the same injury on three different occasions playing basketball and was good each time in 2-3 weeks. KD will be ready for the playoffs.
We need him for the fantasy playoffs bro 🤣🤣
I've heard that swelling happens after sleep. Can you confirm this, doc?
Doc, kd also reportedly practiced hard for another 10 minutes after this and seemed fine even landing on the injured foot
Adrenaline rush
I didn’t even know he was injured yet
Player must pay attention to the angle of coming down to push off. The foot and calf angled as KD came down leading to the inverted heel strike had much to do with this sprain.
As soon as I hear KD had his injury got in TH-cam sure enough Doc was already breaking down what had happened thinking this guy can see the future
This type of ankle injury is what i always got if i got one. At least from how it looks. I fractured my ankle before but mostly would just get a sprain. Got some dumb ankles lmao
This wasn’t his debut with the Suns Doc, you put out great content I’m just saying chief. 🎯
Reminds me of my grandfather, near then end his toes would curl under and trip him.
Can this be a case of his shoes not being laced tight. I remember kd saying he likes his shoes being lose
Can you make a video about Steven adams knee and how he got stem cell therapy? Wondering if it could help my chronic knee pain (I’m 19)
Is there any concern due to this being uncontact injury?
With how fast the Doc uploads videos, I wouldn't put it past him that he slipped the ball boy A Hundo to spill some water on the floor in the layup line
ALL I KNOW IS PAIN...
Are you a Hornets fan?
@Carolina Blood 💀
I do too!
I get the injury mechanics. But how about the glute activation here? Looks like he had no control on spiral chain from left side of his neck to right ribcage/core to left LE mainly imbalance in action from TA to PL to hamstring to glute to trunk?
This dude is pretty sharp.👍🏾
Dude crossing AD injury territory 🤦🏿♂️heal up man
Street Clothes KD
KD is past AD with injuries.. he the real street clothes.
Nah ain't nuffin weak about no streets keep durant name away from that typa talkin
@warriorhasappeared He's The Street Clothes. STREET CLOTHES DURANT
Why don't you have over a million followers amazes me man you're awesome
🙏
Had dis same injury... fist day is always hell... late swelling...felt like i had nuthing holding ankle in place if i tried to pivot
Good stuff. Thanks Doc!
Grade 2 ankle sprain and Durant is likely out for the rest of the season. Phoenix has to look at next year, there's very little chance of Durant being a factor if he's back for the playoffs when he's had no time to learn to play with his new team.
Certainly a case of bad luck. Would hate to be someone who paid for those tickets
😂😂😂 as I drive home from the game right now :(
At least book put up 44
@Leanmacaroon always a pleasure to see him do his thing
@Anthony Pollock I feel for you man but these things happen. So fortunate you live in the desert and can see these games live. I envy you love from Dublin Ireland. One day il visit and see a KD game live it's a little dream of mine
Me 😢
I don’t know why anyone is saying he slipped. He just flat out rolled it on a simple layup.
Interesting. I see a handful of comments on many Brooklyn Nets videos where they talk about his ankles. I guess I see why they were concerned now.
really useful when a highly-supportive basketball shoe does something good instead of
compounding injuries further along the leg like so many other instances.
Jordan's are known for giving injuries. I wonder how KDs shoes were designed
@Sven Jorgensenn Oh, 👌 I see what you mean. Kevs [jordans?] look to be "low" or mid height at best, like walking shoes, and his feet are long as hell. I could see Jordans being hightop or more 'overbuilt' foams and, if not fairly loosened could relate to what I was talking about towards the end of my comment what with the injuring, and the shin-fracturing, and the knee-tweaking and the gla-HAY-vin !! squirming around on the floor in SO much agony... My ankle'll do the same with that relatively-uninjured rolling motion and maybe he removed some weight taking off, and knew in time before landing, but idk how he's not at least more injured than that..
