Kostas Papanikolaou leaves game with knee strain 12/5/2014 (Updated: Video, Early Diagnosis)

With the still image and video, the way he was rolled up on...makes me suspect more of a medial collateral (MCL) strain more than anything else; possible meniscus involvement. Hoping for the best ladies and gents. Anyways goodnight.

 

My god people, grow a pair. He is fine, rub some dirt on it and he will be back soon. He just turned 24 a few months ago - he's still made of rubber tbh

 

I was about to quote you earlier and ask you why you thought ACL since it was mainly just lateral deviation. Obviously you know a lot more than me since I'm only a 2nd yr though :grin:

 

watch the video. People have good reason to be concerned, tbh.

 

The way he got hit is how you get an unhappy triad. Scary stuff.

 

I have but my god it's not catastrophic.

 

Forgot about that, thanks for refreshing my memory.

 

What a ridiculous statement. Being 24 or under means your made out of rubber and aren't susceptible to sustain a serious injury? That's news to the thousands of young athletes who's sport careers where altered/ended due to injury.

 

He's in good hands now

 

Relax

 

I really hope he is ok. This guy could be very important for the future of the rockets. He needs experience though.

And the Rox have weathered the injuries. But you can only take so much.

 

haha, I think the poster was referring to Clyde's comment of whenever someone gets hurt.

"He's still young. When you're young like that you're made of rubber!" another awesome clyde-ism tbh.

 

Soon. In spirit of the Charlotte Bobcats regaining their former prestige and classic franchise name , the NBA has plans to continue this trend.

As of 2016 the Houston Rockets will now be called the Houston Glass.

 

Maybe he has Wolverine blood like PatBev. He can also try the PRP treatment that Dwight had. I think this is his first major (?) injury.

Let him have a few days/weeks of rest. It''s a long season.

 

At some point this Rockets team is just going to break, despite the best effort possible from the players and the coaching staff.
