Anthony Davis has been diagnosed with a midfoot sprain and will be reevaluated in 4 weeks, which realistically means he might not play for 6-8 weeks. We'll review what is different about this injury and what it means.

I used to say he couldn't play back in the day when it was more physical, but he might have been better off when the game was slower and he didn't have to be a perimeter and interior defender.

Or was there lots of room for improvement left in the tank? I'm just curious to what degree a lanky guy like AD has control over his joint strength, hence ability to prevent injury.

Thanks for that anatomical explanation describing the mechanism of the foot articulation and the possible injury sustained by Anthony Davis that upgraded his absence from 2 week to 4. I wonder if you could speak on the following: The frequency of AD's injuries. Is the injury occurrence in AD (and in other athletes) likely related to multiple factors 1) intrinsic instability (causing frequent falls at the end of plays near the rim), 2) the strength of Davis' game being in the paint (which can often be congested) over consecutive possessions, 3) players throwing him a pass (because he is taller than others) in compromising conditions (i.e, in a crowded space), and 4) no player movement which stagnates the floor and allows defensive players to play more of a zone thereby congesting the key? An ankle sprain caused by stepping on someone's foot does not necessarily emanate from physical weakness but instead is a consequence of sterics (too many body parts occupying the same space) that could relate to the following. On at least three of the many possessions early in the game when Davis was hurt (I stopped watching afterward), the Lakers' offense lacked movement of any type -- no weave, no pick and roll, and no ball or player rotations. The Lakers do not have many outside shooting threats or proficient players who can drive (or dive) toward the basket consistently to activate the offensive motion or remove player density from the paint. As a result, the defenders can crowd the area where Davis is. Another observation is that Davis tends to fall (often not every time) at the end of plays at the rim or in the paint (to compare, Karl Malone flailed but rarely fell when finishing at the basket). Could this stem from muscle/core instability? Of Davis's injuries, a concussion, knee soreness, chest contusion, bruised lower back, a fractured hand, back spasms, hip contusion, and shoulder soreness could relate to his intrinsic instability resulting from his innate body mechanics or weak core strength, whereas a toe sprain, abductor strain, shoulder sprain, and ankle sprains may be more related to trying to operate within a confined space - I don't know. The examples I give about the Lakers offense and utility of Davis don't occur on every possession, but I think some common themes surrounding Davis' injuries can be extracted by reviewing the history of his and team's playing styles.

If injuries weren't a thing, Embiid would be even more of a problem

Ankles are stupid. I tore my flexor retinaculum without damaging anything else. Surgeon hadn't seen that before and said it was pretty rare without having severe trauma to the ankle.

Do you think he should stop wearing guard shoes (in this case Kobe) and go back to big man shoes with better ankle protection?

I've never seen a guy so safe roll his ankle so many times. He doesn't attack the ball or rim wrecklessly, yet he is always rolling his ankles and stepping on feet.

AD is clumsy and injury-prone that's it in a nutshell, look at how Westbrook attacks but he knows how to fall and protect his limbs and is aware of his surroundings, AD doesn't have a clue.

I’m no expert in this but I genuinely feel like he needs to lose more weight and definitely lift more. From the way he moves and runs you can tell the one thing that stands on his way is him.

@@WhizoRiz I think he cant lose any more significant weight, he seems like hes been lifting for a while. It feels like his tendons and ligaments havent really adapted to his weight.

@@jackdune9270 He definitely could improve the strength and mobility in his lower body. Whatever he's been lifting he needs to do it more and work on the mobility in his ankles and knees.
