Jalen Suggs Leaves in Wheelchair After Painful Back Injury - Doctor Explains

[@theshivelyshow5784]

i pulled my back boxing a few months ago. i have never had an injury put me in tears before. i was crawling around my apartment crying wondering what i did to deserve this

[@Mortiz21]

@theshivelyshow5784 I did the same weight lifting. I thought I messed up my spine. Definitely feel your pain.

[@anthonyrivera2306]

Same, but with me was by picking up a bag of chips that my girlfriend accidentally dropped.

Pablo yeah

[@lukebenson5991]

Paolo, Franz, Jalen, Moe, Anthony Black, Garry Harris. Literally ever single Magic player has missed games due to injuries.

Its because Disney have their park tickets too high and karma is hitting Orlando hard for letting this happen

Man, I thought a player wasn't gonna walk again. I was scared for a second.

[@kalamachamalama]

I was at the pistons game on Wednesday and he was holding his back the entire game in the pauses of the game.

[@therockneverstops8261]

I saw that too..

[@KISutona]

Yea he got fouled by cade and fell on his tailbone

[@dunmatta2670]

​​@@KISutona Tailbone injuries are no joke. But at least for me it wasn't long term and I just needed rest for a few days. In the moment however, I was in so much pain that I had to lay down on my belly on the spot.

[@wl7291]

@@KISutona And knowing Suggs he definitely would try to play through the injury instead of sitting out for a bit. Body is gonna let you know when it's at it's limit on you.

[@Kei-rd6oe]

Dr. Brian is the best!!!! I'm currently studying to become a physical therapist, and his content on the mechanisms of injury is really helping me enhance my clinical skills, especially when working through case studies. Thanks for the valuable insights!!!

[@demitriuswilliams4729]

AWESOME FOR YOU 🙏🏽💪🏽👍🏽

[@0kedoke]

Not sure if it was mentioned.. but he aggravated his back in the previous game against the Pistons with a scary fall. He was actually taken off to get it treated, but then re-entered after a quarter or so. I wonder if that fall may have contributed to this injury. Especially considering that he was likely cleared to play this game because he was able to re-enter the previous one. (This fall could have been the initial excess pressure that you speak on during this video) I love your videos, keep it up!

[@aren_gee]

When I saw it happened, I remembered suffering a lower back injury just by standing up... yeah that's right, I was sitting down, then I stood up (not quick motion, just a regular standing up motion). I heard a somewhat of a pop in my lower back. Physician ruled it as a herniated disc injury and I can still feel pangs of pain for months now. I hope he recovers.

[@Mortiz21]

Seems like he pulled it. I did the same thing a month ago at the gym. I thought I hurt my lower spine cause I couldn't bend without extreme pain. Went to the hospital, and they said I had a bad sprain, but my spine was perfect.

[@itsjammbi]

how long did it take to heal?

[@Mortiz21]

@itsjammbi I was fine in a few days. It was still sore as heck, though. I still get some soreness in that area. I'm guessing he'll sit for about a week. Then do light cardio for a week. Then, they'll test him with drills and see how he reacts. If he's sore and feels tense, they make him wait. If he feels good, they'll probably play him on a strict mins regulation. That's just how teams treat things now.

[@itsjammbi]

@@Mortiz21 very informational thanks

[@AndrewEvenstar]

Same thing happened to me after hurting my back dead lifting. No nerve damage. MRI results clean. I just don't dead lift heavy anymore

[@tellall23]

Every time there’s a non-contact injury I go straight here

[@jeremysalinaz8298]

AND THE VIDEO IS UP! Crazy just how fast he is with it! Great work Doc

[@Velly2g]

Came to watch this because something like this happened to me 2 times. First time took like 10 days for the pain to go away. The 2nd time it took like 20 days of therapy. Still have no idea what caused it. Both times I was reaching out like Suggs

[@greg8224]

Thank you I was hoping for this video!

[@JuanBautista-fx3rh]

As usual Doc giving a great explanation. Thanks!.

[@theopinions47]

We call it the parlay effect of Fandual when the unexplainable occurs on players who are not max players.

[@drb996]

Non contact injuries are always the worst.

[@waynealan3067]

The worst pain I’ve ever experienced in order; 1. Sciatica Distant 2nd-6th; kidney stones, tooth abscess, perforated ulcer, migraine, ground ball to the nuts. It’s that bad when a disc is involved and you have spasms.

[@riversidetexan130]

Bro is quick with it

[@user-d8r9v]

As always, a thorough breakdown. You are the best Brian. Thank you.

[@tracyelsinger1088]

Back spasms can hurt like a MFer. Hope that's all it is.

[@BillDotree]

I herniated my L4-L5 disk when I was 25 years old coaching JV baseball. I’m 28 now and I’m still incredibly limited and somewhat disabled from it

[@greg9069]

Same, mine completely crushed my sciatic nerve so I had to get a laminectomy at 23, surgeon said the herniated nucleus of the disc became fused to the nerve so I have sciatica 24/7

[@Bucaroundfindout]

The Magic can't catch any breaks but they can certainly catch some strains

[@kineahora8736]

Back spasms suck. Been dealing with ‘em for years. It’s usually erector spinae (which comprise all the smaller muscles Brian mentioned) which can press on the nerve roots when inflamed and over contracting. I also have trouble with the quadratus lumborum he mentioned. Basically -no stretching, do anti-inflammatories and heat, and after a few days direct pressure (massage).

[@joshadams8761]

Thanks for this analysis! I would enjoy more episodes of In Street Clothes.

[@Cooowop]

Thanks for covering this doc. I was hoping for muscle spasms but it scared tf outa me it was a non contact injury

[@jwanganeen]

I had 3 slipped disks, and torn annular fibrosis’ at the L4/L5/S1 levels in my back and had nerve damage in my legs. My surgeon suggested that I either have a spine transfusion surgery or do intensive Physiotherapy and rehab. I did the Physiotherapy and rehab instead of surgery, but it was probably the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, took me 2.5 years to finally be able to live without constant pain. Hope it’s just a sprain for Suggs

[@deemariedubois4916]

As a person who has back spasms, I’m here to tell ya that they freaken hurt. Your back can spasm with a weird locked up feeling where the contraction is so bad you fear any movement. You are paralyzed by the pain. Of course you have to move with help if only to get to your bed. Ice, heat, massages, and muscle relaxers are a God send. Then later back exercises, starting with stretches, done cautiously in case you set off more spasms of pain. A trip to my orthopedic doctor if the spasm immediately returns with an easy stretch or if the pain runs down my leg. Thanks Dr Brian. Your body had some impressive gluteus maximus going on.

[@bradleyalthaus]

i had a szn of aau where i had serious lower back issues. one of the most frustrating injuries ive ever had. spent an hour every game stretching and getting my loosened up, just to pull it 2-3 min in and not being able to move the whole rest of the game.

[@ayoPHREEK]

This man doesn't miss an injury

[@bessoia7064]

Hi. I know you only upload videos when someone gets injured, but can you please do some educationals out of blue. I'm very interested in what's going on when people have either tennis or golfers elbow. I don't think you have covered that before. If you have, please reply with a link in the comment. Thanks

[@anthonyrivera2306]

A couple months ago, something fell and when I went to grab it, I had the same reaction as Jalen. It turned out that I couldn't get out of bed on my own, after 3 days, I decided to go to the hospital and my back was inflammated. After some injections and a couple hours later, I was able to move freely again.

[@ThierryFont]

A disk injury without radiculopathy symptoms can take a long time to heal as well

[@WJones23]

It’s crazy because so many people deal with back problems and basically no one has any clue or idea of how to fix them. You got McGill big 3, PRI, other techniques and schools of thought. Unless you see specific fractures or herniations, isn’t it so hard to know how to treat a back problem? My back has been bothering me for multiple years and no one has answers. Hopefully Suggs gets answers faster

[@vynderma]

That’s an amazing graphic model of the muscles and skeleton. Is this commercially available?

[@tradedossier]

Great information

[@Attaboy-r6z]

@BrianSuttererMD could you please do a video on Luka Doncic's calf injury??

[@TheCoachIce]

I had the same injury on the court years ago I thought I broke my back cause I couldn't walk, it was fine after 5 days I was back on the court What led to it was weeks of back spasms already for trying to do so much on training, I was lifting weights in the morning and playing ball in the afternoon everyday, I tried to stretch the pain everyday cause I don't want to rest just playing training everyday

[@DampBridge]

Do you ever do follow up videos once the player diagnosis has been announced?

[@rastaptc]

Back injuries can be some of the most painful injuries.

[@mcmann7149]

Spinal injuries are absolutely horrific to experience.

[@alanhudson2999]

It looks like a possible pulled muscle or worse a disc that bulging or pressing on the nerve 😮😢..sooo painful if nerves are compressed oooww can’t imagine the pain

[@raymondgil4128]

He fell on his lowers backs 3:57 few days ago pretty bad

[@thegreattreon0177]

Last bad back injury I had put me out of work 2 days and took a month to completely heal

[@dlvarcade9729]

When an in-game injury occurs, players probably just wait in the locker room for the Dr Sutterer video to tell them what exactly happened to them.

[@justinklink1588]

Hey Doc. Did you do a video on the JOK injury?

[@TheLifeOfJim]

Doc, I need a video on Jared Spurgeon leg injury. NHL only says lower body....

[@steve13191]

all injuries are painful for obvious reason but i heard rib fracture as thin as 1inch of hair is on another level of pain. i only had torn meniscus it was a lot of pain but i never felt like it was too much to handle. i’d assume something closer to the torso puts you in more agony

[@finishyabreakfast21]

I watch hoops so every time there's an injury I wonder what you'd say 😂 I knew you'd cover this one since it was mysterious

[@Komainu959]

I was working on my car lying on the garage floor. I went to stand up and just twisted my back the wrong way I guess and it caused me to collapse to the ground and I couldn't stand back up. I was stuck on the ground for a good 15 minutes before it finally eased up enough where I could stand again but even then it was incredibly painful. I think I ended up finishing the car like 2 weeks later lol.

[@desmondberger45]

Can you talk about the Zay flowers injury form tonight’s game

[@sterlingfury]

Ive had back spasms twice...sudden and very painful

[@SpaceAvaliable]

Brian, do you think these injuries the magic are facing are derived from the way they train? They are suffering very uncommon injuries.

[@desmondberger45]

Can you talk about the Christian Watson and Jordan love injuries from today

[@benso309]

I believe its a nerve impringement or muscle tear on the back.

[@dreamkeem8128]

There was a play earlier where he dived on the floor to get a steal that what started the injury in the first place just to give you a heads up you should cover that too. Covering just this part of the injury doesn’t serve purpose

[@MacB369]

Super bad because you basically have the mass force of the legs and then the torso twisting in opposite direction and hyperextends (basically same as cracking your back by twisting except here with brute force

[@Mplantt]

Bro I love you😊

[@dbok]

The ending begs the question, what would be the approach to treatment for a bulging disk type of problem.

[@drefore2642]

I remember pulling a muscle in my lower back and it hurt to even breath or walk.. I was wondering if it could be a muscle tear then

[@Movenmobilize]

I want to say it’s another oblique injury at the posterior attachment. If that’s the case it’d be the 3rd Oblique injury. Banchero & Frans

[@showtimeman5673]

I'm going to say not a chance in hell. Both paolo and franz were contact injuries. Basketball players almost NEVER have oblique Injuries and from there PLEASE send me video of an oblique injury causing massive low back pain where someone can't stand up. Goodness.

[@ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

When I saw the clip, I kinda thought sciatic nerve, had something years ago and from what I remember it's a surprising pain but that serious, at least what I had.

[@00700556]

As a basketball player- been here. He DEFINITELY pulled a muscle.

[@BreatheTheMatrix]

Pulling a muscle is waaaay better than pinching a nerve.

[@xeon0998]

So new training staff?

[@Iamalloverthat]

Does a spasm have those instant and debilitating impact?

[@stephenkyriakou4286]

Hope it’s nothing with his discs. I ruptured a disc playing ice hockey and I was never the same athlete. Years later if I slack on maintenance exercises it will still invariably start to bug me again.

[@mike_AD]

Im betting 95% chance disc injury

[@trnc9082]

The non contact injuries are the scariest ones

[@demitriuswilliams4729]

10 days he will be ok, I'm 62, that will take about a month for my old self 😩😭🥴

[@updog497]

This usually happens the day you turn 40. Also, once you hurt your back, it's almost never the same again. DDP yoga can help.

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

Doc, I'm just curious on how you're fast af with it. Is there a science behind it, too? lol

[@TallestGamer]

Speedy recovery Suggs

[@ratapaga5963]

Is a nerve! I have a disk L4 L5 and if I twist the wrong way. I. On the floor

[@Thunderstick-y8h]

The worst pain I’ve ever experienced by far is lower back spasms.

[@chadrowland4670]

I had a pinched nerve in my back due to my back being misaligned.

[@YBRMoose]

There should be a surgeon general in the NBA to regulate and create protocols to prevent so many of these injuries like this season

[@thydevdom]

Back injuries suuuuuck. Wasn’t the worst pain I’ve ever felt but they linger forever during the recovery process.

[@RodmanRonaldo]

What about Dloading @ Brian stutter

[@jk8190]

There must be something wrong with Magic's stuff that is responsible for players individual development. The chance that three players injury there core muscles is extremely low. Hence, there need to be something wrong with their training

[@theschafershow]

[@felixicuss]

[@michaelpaullang4401]

Can’t lie if that happened that means he’s body was compensating for something, means he wasn’t even healthy in the first place sad to see hope it’s not a sciatica or punched nerve this why nba fans need to chill on playing thru injuries when rotate like that with all that force and and legs ain’t there or glutes it can put you down for a minute but it’s could just strained and like he said
