So obviously a huge break to his leg - what would the initial estimate be for a return from that type of injury?
Injury looks worse than it is...he'll be out a year and be back like it never happened. Boguts and Livingston's freak injuries were worse and they recovered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M-g5wZ5js4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHFs4a-Bb-c
If it's only bone he can very likely return this season and it won't likely affect his athleticism. Bones heal and get stronger. I say 6 months at the very least.
with the still image, seemed like a closed fracture(bone didnt break the skin) so thinking about 4-6 months for rods and screws to set in place... and i think...its a season end-er for sure...
Well "Anderson Silva" the UFC fighter wont be back until some time 2015, and that's still up in the air. His injury occurred Sat., Dec. 28, 2013. From word of mouth, It has also happened to 2 Australian Basketball players. Took them 14-17 months. One of them was never the same. Totally depends on the NERVE, TISSUE, & MUSCLE damage.
shawn;s injury i thought was his knee...that imho is really much worse... This is a fibular and tibial fracture...based on if the break was clean...the recovery times could vary.
If I had a choice of Harden or George I would choose Harden but I wouldn't cry one tear if the consolation prize was PG. Huge loss for the Pacers. They were a fave to go to the Finals before this.
Hate to see an injury of this kind to any athlete. Thoughts and prayers go out to Paul George for a fast recovery.
