It Happened...Zion Williamson Tore His Meniscus | Doctor Reviews What it All Means

- Zion Williamson of the NBA New Orleans Pelicans underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in the right knee and is now expected to miss 6-8 weeks. I was concerned about his long term health and possible injury risk and now there are more things we need to be thinking about when it comes to possible knee injuries and other injuries for Zion Williamson down the road.

#Zion #NBA - กีฬา
My knees hurt from watching this.
Me 2, me 2
@The Senate Yeah I also have both of meniscus injured and my ACL too. Shit sucks.
Big facts
@The Senate did you do other sports instead? hope you are able to recover man
Happens every time I watch his videos
Talk about how Lebron 17 years without surgery! Why is he the ideal athlete and what in his body structure makes him such a low risk to get injured
Watch him land, move, run, etc... No extreme movements, his landing decrease the impact on his kness by properly landing plus the guy invest a hell lot of money in his body. Lebron is a lot of things but he knows how to take care of his body
Good mechanics with running and jumping/landing
craig gomez it’s really doing those little things. Not being flashy. Just fast. Lebron is not at all a weak man, but he doesn’t do things through brute athleticism and strength. It’s very deceptive speed. He does things very fast, not very strong, which are two different things.
Yeah like everyone said, its his landing and basic/non flashy play style. He moslty lands on both legs but if he lands on one, he back pettles to even out the impact.
It also takes a decent amount of luck lol
Time for Zion to retire. He had a good run, lasted most of the pre-season, lol. Joking aside, I wish him the best.
@Timbo S550 He is such a great athlete and I also wish him all the best. I think what would help him best would be to lose weight. Take some pressure off his lower extremities.
Ian Ford thats what im saying but no he ok he not gonna get injured
Boy i said im telling you and it happened he need to lose aome damn weight
Ian Ford that’s just how he walked .. everybody got a style of walking
@@timsetto Yes but there are healthy ways of walking to more evenly distribute pressure
Vonti bruh you act like he walks with his back arched
Some Simpson’s type of shit right here
I mean u could tell tho
I don't get it
Yep
Frank Dux a meme that Simpson’s predicts the future. The creator of this video previously made a video that Zion might get injured
@@OmarhiyonMalcolm but the doctors prediction video is based on observation and probabilities, not Simpsonian "what is the most absurd thing that could happen, that would make entertaining television, oh wow, that actually happened" logic. So I still don't get the reference.
Unless the reference is really to highlight the dissimilarity to the Simpsons...
People talk about d Rose, but he could end up more like Greg oden. He was a beast in college but never got a chance to succeed in the NBA due to injuries
Steve Shumate Greg Oden had micro fracture surgery, a much more severe injury to your knee.
@@codyfeller microfracture is done to basically try to create a "fake" meniscus. It's done when someone is dealing with a worse version of what Zion has right now.
Chris King no. Micro fracture surgery is done to repair the cartilage attached to the bones not the meniscus. While the meniscus is cartilage, there are two types. Articular cartilage is attached to the bone, this is what micro fracture surgery aims to address.
And he's legs are not n the same length, that's the 1st reason why he had that surgery, too much pressure
Yep, Zion will be a bust
Julius Randle: “Zion without the hops”
Knicks: sign Randle
Zion: looses hops
Knicks got Zion 😎
And people say that the Knicks had a poor off season 😂
Henzii Vibes tf u talking about
@@isinglikeanass6708 you know wtf he's talking about. He's not even a tweener, he can jump, but he's not a 4 or 3... He's the height of a guard, but can't cover guards. If he can stay healthy he'll be alright, because he is supremely athletic.
EliTheRealist1 saying that Zion is a more athletic Draymond? Tf?
@@isinglikeanass6708 not a bad comp bro, they are both undersized frontcourt players.
The Prediction was legendary
It's clear as day for guys like this and even some fans were uncomfortable with how heavy and athletic he was.
Damn Doc you called it!
Anyone could call it tbh, it was pretty obvious
Sabri Halid not really everyone are gonna say they seen it but like 80% of people were riding his beef and were blind to the massive flaws in his body and game.
I mean the writing was on the wall.
Sabri Halid it more impressive that he called out lateral Meniscus tear by implying his poor inward knee alignment. Yes anybody could have called a knee injury but he called the why & How
@@laggard7173 I agree he's talented but is at risk of becoming a HUGE bust due to injuries. Derrick Rose level shit
i can see zion sitting out the year like ben simmons if he doesn't lose all that weight right away. otherwise he's just gonna hurt himself again.
Keith Wu that’s probably best give him a year to get fully prepared he’s 19 not every 19 year old ready for the nba it’s cool they aren’t contenders this year any way
The problem is, his knees are still going to be at an angle where they will always be subjective to high torque forces. Losing weight will definitely help, but I just have a bad feeling it won't be enough. I hope he proves me wrong and has a long and successful career.
I really think that every 18-19 yrs old rookies should do that. Why hurry, prepare yourself and watch how veterans take care of their body. Spend one year on films and tapes, in getting the best shape for your game and in shooting the ball
Chemistry Guy losing weight will help, but Zion needs to develop a better shot so he can help score in other ways besides playing bullyball in the paint.
@@leonardopessanha5128 i agree, but ncaa and media has created so much pressure for top 5 drafted players nowadays
Bruh is like I told you so...
Doc is a Prophet.
So the way he was always landing as he dunked too. Worriesome man
been telling people this but all they say is “just let the boy be! hell be great!” some ignorant hype fans right there
i said the same then scrolled down and saw you saw the same. i agrer
Sundiata Jackson A prophet? this is the same injury he had at duke, doesn’t take a doctor to know he hadn’t fully recovered
Zion really needs to drop weight and land proper. He seems like a once in a lifetime player.
Edit: thx for this many likes, I've never got this many
its like lebron but in the body of charles barkley
Chris no Zion is nothing like Lebron. He gets that comp because he’s big and he dunks a lot. Lebron is way more under control in every aspect of the game and doesn’t put himself in dangerous positions which is why he’s been able to stay healthy his entire career
@UCtUMcoJhuqFurP4KbpMBjCw No proof whatsoever. Just hate speaking
2299mikey he had hype like lebron
Reverse Layup101 he’s a bust
I listen to every warning you say from now on doc
This Zion is a good kid, that’s why this news is even more painful
he is a good kid but the way he jumps and the his body shape had already implied very high likelihood of injury and unsustainability of his career from the beginning
He should have changed his play style or tried to adapt his body and learn the biomechanics.
The annoying thing is the people laughing at this. Zion is a one of a kind talent, you reallyyyyy hate to see it
I hate to see “YoU hAtE tO sEe It” at the end of every fucking comment nowadays
jhskasgs I’ve never personally seen that much comments like that. Sorry you felt so offended that you had to act like a dick.
@@VLE-Grimace That has nothing to do with my statement you whiny bitch
Why has ESPN or FS1 not hired this man yet?
Frank Dux he’s a doctor he has a job already lol but he’d probably make the same or even more working for them
Gavin Matherly 😂 no he wouldn’t. No way espn paying this guy 250k plus to talk about injuries you can google the mechanism for.
Jygga Swoop you’d be surprised. Stephen A Smith makes millions to make terrible takes on ESPN.
Gavin Matherly Stephen a makes that much cuz he’s the face of espn. I’d argue no other sports media person has had the impact Stephen a has has. The guy is more popular than some athletes
Jygga Swoop yeah you’re right about that lol I’m not saying espn should hire him I was just telling that dude why he isn’t with them
Dang I was so looking forward to seeing him highlights. Damn
Eliska Gray go watch duke bitch
Kalico David Who pissed in your cereal?
Charlie Brown 💀😭his mom
@@kalicodavid7527 chill
Damn you’re a snow bunny
I feel like everyone saw this coming. With his play style and the way he lands, it was inevitable that he would injure his knee. As much as I hate to say it, Zion may be the next d rose. I really hope I'm wrong and I wish him the best.
He can't be new DRose, because that guy was MVP before injuries and he is still playing, but not on that level. Zion didn't make out of preseason.
D Rose actually did something tho. Zion has just been hype.
Guys he hasn't played a single NBA game yet, although I'm worried about his health. He might have a short lived career.
People keep mentioning drose but it'd be more like greg oden
@@witnessg431 I didn't really want to do greg oden because Zion had a lot more potential, but I completely get it with it not being a drose situation due to him being the youngest mvp ever. I just thought that drose had a lot of wasted potential due to the injury, which would be like zion if he ever gets a more major injury.
Could you please talk about CC Sabathia dislocating his shoulder and going on to throw 90 mph?
YES PLEASE
Marc Solis I second that
steroids
Cocaine
That was savage, I couldn't believe it when I saw that.
Everyone: worries that Zion will get injured during the regular
Zion: gets injured in preseason and will miss first 8-10 weeks of regular season
He really is a prodigy, achieving his potential really early. Achieved what LeBron tool 16 years to do in the preseason 😂
abdurrahman nashit lmao cause he’s athletic? He’s not the piece to take you to the next level he’s box office will sell as much as LeBron but LeBron took a team from like 9th 10th seed to high playoff potentials at 18 and prolly not even 210 lbs
Dominic Do 6-8
Kevin Smith he was 235 when he was 18
@@Shanard242 no lol it was joke about the injury. LeBron got his first major injury last year and Zion got his before his first game. That's the "potential" I was talking about
I’m getting a Brandon Roy feel from all this. Gets his meniscus cut out before he plays and then it affects him the rest of his career
hopefully its a dwade situation instead but injuries aren't something to be too optimistic about
Not really because Roy had degenerating cartilage in his knees so his career was kind of screwed from the start
Stephen Lin That’s arthritis...
He needs to drop some weight off of his body frame. This will help with his long-term sustainability.
Westbrook had this exact same injury in 2013 and lost 0 athleticism... idk why you would feel like a hyper athletic player like Zion (the most athletic person I’ve seen at that size period) would suffer from a relatively minor knee injury
You're a real one, Doc. Love this channel!
Been waiting on hear what the doctor has to say. You was on it a few days ago.
Your diagnosis was spot on. You keep this up and you'll be a team doc real soon 👏
This is the best channel. You called it...crazy. Keep up the content.
Bro you’re a genius. You literally called it.
Ok hold on, he predicted that zion might have a knee or ankle injury in the future. After the news of his "sore knee" was already out. That's not bad but it isn't some crystal ball shit either.
bob bill he predicted way before the news about the sore knee.
Al learn anatomy and physiology.
James jones yea agreed he predicted knee injuries, but arent yall aware that thats been the main convo about zion since his first game at duke? Everyone noticed his landing style and talked about him possibly being injury prone as his downside for like a full year and a half, so its definitely not like hes the only one who called it, because like 50% of non casual fans have believed this was bound to happen for a long time
Someone leaked that zion had a meniscus injury on a pelicans forum before the news even came out.
Man I have mad respect for Doctors after watching these videos. So many body parts to learn. So many different terms to every little thing. It is just unbelieveable. No wonder it takes twelve years of schooling. Hats off!!
Jarrett Hoogerhyde Exactly
Mad debt too
@Non Conformist i think this all the time lol
One of the most important channels on TH-cam 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This dude needs more subs man works hard to provide us with info. Thank you and best of luck as you blow up.
Dr. Suterer I literally go Chills when I heard of Zion's injury having seen your "I'm Concerned About Zion" video. Unfortunately, the only factor that he can control directly is his weight, since no one can choose skeleton type or how their feet strike as they walk. Love your reseach based approach. I hope that this guy gets to play for a while and is'nt forced to retire pematurely due to injury and chronic suffering like Andrew Luck😉😉
Hopefully he heals up and continues becoming a legend
Adnan A he hasn’t played a fucking game... he isn’t close to a legend
@@MrSeanMDolan - it says "becoming a legend". Read properly first before commenting.
Legend in hospital
bro he’s done jumping; he needs to develop a pull up or baby hook to even be offensively effective
@@LedgerLiner Bro he literally scores around the rim at an elite level, his post game is already decent, hes strong and has some crazy d rose layups
As always very well explained. No. 1 source indeed. Thanks doc
Knew you would post a video about this Doc! Never disappoints, Keep it up. Always enjoy watching your videos. 👍🏽
Hey Doc Thanks for the Info.... ESPN bout to drop a new Video about Zion
I hope Zion doesn’t become another d rose but without the achievements
AKA Greg Oden
Psn: HeartBreakBed he already did
Hes gonna end up benneth 2.0
ClevelandGOAT duh
Best preseason rookie ever?
IDK about you guys but when someone got injured in the NBA, i always go for this channel.. I aint a doctor but loved how you explain things and medical terminologies..
Dr Brian definitely called this one. Respect...
I always noticed his legs I knew it would become a problem plus his weight and size. I hope he’s fine after all of this.
Bro. When do you work? You always got a video out the day of!
Hi! I just love your channel. You nail it video after video!
Also, thank you for raising awareness on the best medical specialty in the world.
I'm a portuguese resident in PMR an I actually learn a lot from your videos.
Keep up the fantastic work! 👏👏
Thanks for translating the injury for us!
Props on using the Latin plural of “meniscus”.
how else would you say it? I'm no doctor or Latin major, but that to me is more common sense than anything.
i think he'll lose 50 lbs and sit the entire season
Meniscuses.
I caught that too! I was impressed by it.
the latin plural of meniscus is "menisci"
Is it possible to fix Zion's walk and knee alignment?? Get the best doctors and physical therapists on it because Zion is an insane talent and I can't see him not out there.
Triple Threat Sports Zion needs a top chiropractor
@@ImMylo no
Unfortunately no. His genetics play a major part in his knee mechanics.
@@ImMylo wtf. R u stupid
Bro your doing somthing so different and unique. Your going to blow up on youtube🔥🔥🔥
I was waiting in on this vid to drop💪🏽 Zion gonna bounce back
He is wearing a tie, so he must be a doctor
I don't buy it, he doesn't have a stethoscope, and he's not bald.
I grew up with him. He's a doctor.
@@GrrSaidTheWolf that bald doctor was Johnny S....
Mehh... This was easy to see coming. Knee issues at 19.. I can tell you from experience, it DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER when it comes to playing basketball. His career will be plagued by constant setbacks and further injuries. Once the joints are done, they are done. . . He should have played football. Too big and bulky for the NBA. Put that size to use.
He should have dropped 30lbs or never got so bulky to begin with, not like he would've been less athletic. Probably would be even more athletic if anything
Brian, you're so smart and informative. Thank you for these videos, coming from a basketball fan
Doc, your analysis is just too good!
You should do a video on Patrick Day... Rest In Peace.
I’m sure Zion knows he needs to lose weight and probably has been struggling with it. He’s a smart guy but all I can think about is his diet. Hopefully he changes some things around because we would love to see an 82 game Zion in the future.
Hes a motor and has a work ethic. I know he will lose weight
especially when he is in nba now, he will get access to trainer and health instructor or something
SSJGod Michael living in New Orleans probably doesn’t make it better neither.
If Bradley Beal can make 36 million a year, Zion could be looking at close to a 500 million dollar career if he can get into prime physical shape. I would hire a team of nutritionists and trainers to monitor him all day long 7 days a week
He needs that muscle to bully down low because hes undersized. Its a trade off.
I’m in PT school and love listening to your videos. Great video’s.
The NBA probably not feeling ur vids but we the people love this.
Looks like he may be out longer than that because Lonzo had the same exact injury, and he was out a pretty long time.
I think it’d be smart to shut him down for the season, and just shed weight. Invest in him. Be smart.
This channel be hella good, quality and consistency through the roof
Subscribed. You are going to end up teaching basic anatomy to a whole bunch of NBA fans. Thank you for the work you do.
I have a very bad feeling his career is going to mirror Greg Oden's. An incredible talent with a body not made for the forces he is subjected to while playing basketball.
A video suggestion is to make on Tua ankle injuries
DOC . You nailed it from that last video
Doc, u rock 🤘 and hope Zion recovers!
Thanks for another great vid.
Greetings from Minneapolis MN ❄
Zion is pretty much gonna be out the whole year. He will miss "weeks" then its going to take longer and if he comes back he could tweak it again so the team should be super conservative here. He should drop 50 pounds and never play preseason games again
I think you did too much here. He is a great player. He needs to learn to stop being flashy, he just needs to learn how land properly, lose weight, and he needs to be careful with all the crazy dunks he been doing. I think the pelicans need to put him on the bench so he can be 100%. This is a great player he just needs to be concern like I said earlier.
I think he could go hard if he can drop down to 235 lbs. He will glide in the air like the greats and he will still have a solid frame to out muscle defenders. He might dunk 6 out of 10 drives to the basket no matter who is in front of him
230-250 is the range where he should be weighing
My brother has torn both miniscus and a acl in his short time in college footballand pulled a a hamstring he redshirted and nowis out with a acl this season
thats tough man prayin for your bro
That's tough man. Hope your bro a good health
Zayntp3 The Great your bro is made of glass
Ryan his knee is no other areas other than a hamstring only because he had been out for long
I was waiting for this you called it absolutely right about what would happen Zion should watch these videos
Great videos man, very very interesting and it's helping me greatly with creating my habits that decrease injurys. Keep it coming bro
I mean u did call it.
Why do I feel like he already had an injury since college. They was just hiding it.
He did. There were some reports about him being inured in 2 occasions but the coaches try to hide it.
Thanks for the info doc! This is highly informative I hope Zion is able to recover healthy and come back strong but after all the concern about his injuries it’s hard to see a bright future for the kid. The way he was dominating in preseason was exiting to watch he kind of reminds me of a mini shaq but with good handles and impeccable post scoring. Most people who believe he will be fine where he is physically(heavy weight) are subjective because they don’t understand how the human body can deteriorate from the type of load he carries around him.
Awesome seeing your channel grow. Educational stuff. All the best wishes!
Pelicans should hire this guy to save their season
Zion need to go talk to Derrick Rose, maybe he can tweak his game like he did.
One of my favorite new channels
I see you working for espn bro keep up the good work. I never seen no sport channel have a segment on players health in full Detail. You’re going to change the game bro.
That was quick 😂
I dont see whats so funny.
ORA ORA ORA the fact that he predicted it literally 3 days ago and its already happened lol
Rigged
@@EJeezy530 ohh...thats hilarious..
Can u talk about Adam Thielen’s injury? Plz
Not that serious, hamstring injury
going to miss this TNF
Doc...you on top of things. Great channel
Very informative; intelligent analysis with factual data, welcome addition to sports talk.
There is a curse in jersey #1
Just think about how many super star collapse wearing that number.
Damn someone leaked that he had a meniscus injury on a Pelicans forum before the news even dropped, I thought they were bullshittin, but nope
You got mentioned in 2 The Ringer podcasts the past week or so, Brian. Kevin O'Connor did it on The Mismatch, and yesterday Bill Simmons gave you some love on Ryen Rusillo's podcast. Hope you start collaborating with them! Keep up the good work!
Man this DR. is the TRUTH. My fantasy sports league loves you lol
He called it also he needs to loss weight
*lose
My meniscus is tearing because Brian’s tie isn’t tightened all the way to the top😩
miserycord0666 😂
I love Zion. This entire video was an anxiety trip. Praying for my dude.
you totally called it!! great insight sir.
Damn - this is news and not surprising.
Why did i look at my knees.. After watching this
I'm happy your chanel blew up, very nice content
I knew that recklessness with which he plays was going to catch up with Zion, but never imagined it'd be this soon. Wish him a speedy recovery and please get yourself in shape, Nola needs you
I told everyone that he was too heavy for his athleticism
Yeah, I did the same a year ago, but fanboys don't like to hear the truth
dantealighieri1265 facts 😂
I'm surprised the pelicans didn't force him to cut weight before letting him step on the court
he wasn't injured at that point. If they had done that and still get an injury everyone would have said "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Thats a damn good question
Outstanding analysis!
Great analysis of the report released by the Pelicans. Educational for a med student with passion for sports!
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time you hear meniscus
Is it possible that he has had a damaged meniscus for a while now and was just toughing it out? Or is this pain too unbearable?
Yeah he had a knee injury in high school then of course the one at duke, idk what’s worse if these are all 3 different injuries or all 1 degenerating problem
fr1toband1to if he had a damaged meniscus we would’ve known about it and the pelicans wouldn’t have waited until the day before the regular season starts to get him the surgery he needed. This all would’ve come out before the draft and he would’ve had surgery either before the draft or directly after it once the team decided that was the best option
Lots of people don't realise their meniscus is damaged, and just feel general pain. This probably happened recently though for a variety of reasons
Your mic is so good. Thanks!
Doc you are amazing! Literally called this!
I have a feeling he’s gonna be another Greg Oden.
I knew he'd injure himself. Never thought this fast though. He just went from LJ to Rodney Rogers. Better fix that jumper!
WOW...u r on another level doc. Amazing content. Love it!
Thanks Doc,been wondering since you predicted possible problems. Just behooves me how it's all just coming out.
