Tough break for Wiseman. He has a ton of potential, but lacks the play time from that NCAA fiasco and various injuries this season. Big setback, but I still think he'll be a big star down the road.

[@lepidoptery]

hopefully there will be a summer league this time around that's conveniently timed for him....

I tore my meniscus (playing basketball of course) in 2016, and it was a white-red tear but more on the white side. Initially my doctor said I'd need a transplant, but I lucked out, and after rehab and about a seven month journey I was able to pretty much recover all of my health/performance, but it was looking pretty bad for awhile. I hope Weisman has a quick recovery and comes back stronger, bright future ahead for the young big man. Can't wait to see everyone on the warriors healthy again.

Honestly, if you tore your meniscus and nothing else you'll be fine. I had a tear around Christmas and had surgery in January. I'm already doing fairly intense sport

Well done you explain these injuries perfect 👌

[@victordamianovic8450]

You should make a video on some cycling fractures. Some recent ones are Anemiek van vleuten broken forearm in the 2020 giro rosa and was able to finish the stage and get a silver medal in the world championship road race to weeks after. Or Fabio's Jackobsen crash in the final sprint in the first stage of the 2020 tour of poland where he went face first into the barrier after he was pushed and lost al his teeth broke most bones of his face. His first race back from injury was today. Lastly you could do a video on Remco evenepoel crash on the 2020 il lombardia where hi missed a corner and dropped over a 6 meter ravene and fractured his pelvis and had a collapsed lung.

[@NoHandleNameScrewTube]

Awesome explanation thanks

[@bogdantolstenko6983]

I’ve had knee pain for over a year. I found out that a have a torn meniscus 2 month ago. Back then, a doctor recommended to recover without surgery, which is what I did. Now two month passed and he advices to come back to sport and told me I have no fluid in my knee after checking it. I feel a bit of pain in my knee now when I’m extending the knee. Do you think It healed? And if not what would you advice me to do? I’m 16.

[@xNxBREEZY]

This man is a genius

[@MrOrthodox13]

I like this format a little better than the last ones I saw, anything changed?

[@toughmunths]

I just hope that other players that are witnessing whats happening to Jamal Murray and James Wisemen take a few notes and learn proper footwork so we can stave off as many injuries as possible

[@tropickman]

I hope young players are taught on the bio-mechanics of knee injuries, and how placing your weight on/off the heel places the knee in an ultra vulnerable position.

[@zsac18]

For people that are used to jumping so much, basketball players have such horrific, cringe enducing landing mechanics

[@scordatura9259]

That's not their normal landing mechanics since they got their shot blocked or altered making them lose balance mid air. But there are also some as you said which have bad landings such as ja morant or old drose

[@wulfwood04]

Wiseman was under utilize, he showed great potential but he has very little load/play time, he wasn't a rebounding monster or defensive presence. Yet suffered a season ending injury

[@vb6427]

It seems like injuries are more frequent this season, am I right? And if it is so, do you think it's because of the higher frequencie of game?

[@joweydelanota7421]

Its the result of not having a training camp.
