[@mynextpair1913]

I wonder if this has anything with the way he dunks the ball. He always clocks back his arm when he dunks. It would suck if he would not be able to dunk the ball like that anymore. That’s what make him so exciting to watch.

[@dean2706]

Right..cocking

[@SqrlJam]

The way he throws his force into drives to the rim and then falls to the floor it seems very likely he has prior shoulder damages for years now.

[@NotOneToFly]

This. He was probably just shrugging it off (oh ho ho) before but he's not a teenager anymore.

[@mambaASI]

yea this makes sense. He's fallen to the floor hundreds of times at this point in his career typically bracing some impact with his arms so wouldn't be surprising at all if he suffered one or more minor shoulder subluxations in the past but that damage went unnoticed then this happens

[@robojimtv]

This happened to Pascal Siakam in the 20/21 season when the Raptors were stuck in Tampa btw. Whole recovery process was about 5 months but he was able to return to form. I'm not worried long term about such an injury unless it repeats.

[@naphcon8983]

it was on Pascal's non shooting shoulder. This type of surgery is tough to fully recover on and can take well over a year to get there even if he does return before then. Not to mention , this isn't baseball or a contact sport. If he has some kind of condition that contributed, then it could make recurrent tears more likely

[@mgir01]

@@naphcon8983had this surgery myself and it took about a year and a half to fully feel “back”, but it felt fine after 6 months. i dont see him feeling his best for a while

[@naphcon8983]

@@mgir01 yep I have a torn labrum in my hip and was considering surgery. But im 41 now and the success rates plummet at 40, so I'm just going to try to make it a bit longer and get a hip replacement. I've learned what I can and can't do now to flare it up badly. I've known others have it and their story was similar to yours... felt good at 6 months but couldnt do things and completely ignore it for well over a year.

[@davidf2244]

That's his secret. He's causing the injuries 🤔 Or maybe he's time traveling. He cuts it close. Some day he's going to slip up and release his video before the injury happens.

[@JoseMaloof]

I also had a SLAP injury from a single time accidental play, not all injuries that need surgery have to be repeated hits/dislocations. In my case I jumped for a loose ball, a guy landed on the back part of my shoulder and another was pressing on the front part while I was reaching extended for the ball (diving ala Rodman). That did it, overextending my arm, while being pressed bothsides. Very annoying injury. There is no going around surgery, rehab alone will do little to nothing to help. Surgery is rather painful, rehab is not relatively easy going. I was only in the mind set to return to play basketball, thats what kept me going. I did return to play at a high level, but I never have felt loose or with a certain stop/movement limitation pre injury. That being said, my peak at basketball was well after the injury, and I eventually could train on every aspect, weights, intense basketball drills, etc. so I don't consider it an injury that will make someone like Morant lower his level. Hopefully there are newer techniques and rehab methods.

[@emmapritchett6898]

I’m 9 months post posterior shoulder stabilization surgery for labral tear/ instability and am also an overhead athlete (swimmer) and I will say that coming back from this surgery has been really hard like im just now feeling like im starting to approach my old form.

Curious how did you injure your it?

[@abrahamkoubaytari2328]

@emmapritchett6898 i have small tear to my posterior labrum, i had subluxation playing basketball non contact rebound. I have full range of motion but strength is like 80% but i have too much instability feeling. Do you recommend surgery?

Any comment/perspective on the cumulative stress on the shoulder from repetitive violent dunks (practice, warmups, games, other?) JM creates a lot of force with his acceleration and elevation - more than most.

Pretty unlucky year. I think the Dr may be onto something with the repeat injury/subluxation hypothesis. That plus seeing how trash they were was without Steven Adams probably just made the team decide to mulligan.

They probably never reported the previous instability issues cause they thought it was something they could control. Either way I hope he makes a good recovery. Dude is a great talent. Love watching those insane dunks he pulls off.

[@BlaineDP]

I tore my labrum from the 10 to 2 o'clock position from baseball pitching. I literally heard it tear after I let go of a pitch. My experience is like all of the aforementioned...constant dull ache/pain every day, Physical Therapy didn't help, instability remained ect...only surgery can fix it. It's literally been 20 years since my sugery and I play baseball every summer and still pitch and the surgery (they used 2 anchors) has held up just fine. It'll take nearly a year before he can come back but he'll be 100% afterwards and probably come back better than ever.

Man you explained this so well. I’ve been having a lot of pain in that exact same area of my shoulder (so bad I can’t even sleep on my right side with out feeling discomfort or pain in that area)

[@JoseMaloof]

A labrum tear, feels like a pain, sting on the shoulder area, but when you try to touch/press it to locate it, you can't... it's like its inside the shoulder. Also sometimes rotator is the culprit of shoulder pain. I had a labrum tear, and I didn't have like constant pain. Only when doing certain movements or overworking the area started the discomfort.

[@jld4870]

I had rotator and labrum (low grade) tears. That pain was fricken INTENSE!!! Lying still, in bed it could reach a 10.

Great job on the video - would love to see you do a video on Connor Bedard’s jaw injury/surgery!

From personal experience, I tore my labrum after falling on my shoulder but didn't realize for a while cause there wasn't any pain, it just started clicking at a certain spot. And I don't have a very high pain tolerance

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

Just returned from suspension right before Christmas now he’s out for the season. Wow!

[@kamikazehound3243]

I recently injured my shoulder from sleeping on it and it felt as if a nail put in my shoulder to prevent me from lifting my arm. Honestly thought I would have to go to the hospital but after just sleeping on my back for around 3 weeks it my arm recovered. 10 Years prior when I was 16 I had rhabdomyolysis in both my arms and had to stay in the hospital for a week and the pain was horrible. I did make a full recovery however I now deal with quicker fatigue in my arms and I have never been able to push them how I use to, so I hate seeing others end up with arm injuries. I hope he won't end up with any prolonged side effects of the injury.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

Was not expecting this, but watching Ja I can't entirely surprised. He plays like he's got trampolines in his shoes so when he isn't able to make it past a defended, it usually ends with a nasty spill for him. He had hand and wrist injuries last year so it wouldn't be too crazy to think it was his entire arm that was compromised.

[@shazmah]

I wonder how much taking time off for the suspension and then returning to high intensity activity played a factor

[@xanderx8289]

“Pull the trigger on” - nice one, Doc. I gotcha 😅

The doc only gave me shoulder injections for my labrum tear. I also was told I have arthritis too so that may be why I didn’t get surgery.🤷🏾‍♂️

[@leumas75]

So here’s a fun question. When I was 35, I had surgery because my entire labrum had detached from the joint. I’m a musician and college professor, (not in any way a professional athlete), and my surgeon was completely flummoxed as to why this had happened, only guessing at a strange (for which I’m well known) rheumatoid arthritis condition. Any ideas?

[@peterf.229]

from what I know about RA , I’m not sure that a shoulder labrum injury could be caused by it but idk. I need to get testing done , my Mom has RA and I might have it too. I’ve got swollen joints in both thumbs, and index fingers and a few days ago my pinky was sore , all in the MCP joints ( including in my thumbs) . in advanced RA cartilage can become damaged along with “bone destruction” . i’d guess that most people would notice RA symptoms before that point and with modern treatment it would not get so far along , but this is all from what I’ve read about recently . i’m not a dr but this is my own .02 cents 😎
