Patrick Beverley has a torn meniscus (UPDATE: Will not require surgery, expected to return)

Hope he's feeling better soon!

 

Me too, thanks - he has 2 weeks until the next game, but I am going to be holding him out a while I think to make doubly sure it is all healed up.

Kids heal fast, but sometimes they may push it too far - when they need to let their bodies heal.

I am proud of him for toughing it out, but I don't want him to make it much worse.

hope the little fella gets well soon, kids are so uncoordinated in recreational sports, its hilarious whether its soccer or basketball, they just chase the ball at all costs LOL

Yeah, that is not my son, nor the team he plays on, they are playing select soccer, very possession oriented, and pretty good skill for their age.

Knees are stuff you don't want to screw with, you have to let them heal all the way.

Beverly just finished an interview with Matt Thomas

Doing PT with Adrian Peterson therapist.

Dr. Andrews told him the meniscus tear practically healed itself. That is why he called himself Wolverine.

Will not need surgery after the season.

He said he will be able to come back stronger than before.

 

^ Woah

 

PBev... some guys are just born tough.

 

Niceeeee

 

Hope he retires a Rocket

 

What a ****ing beast.

 

How does a meniscus tear, even a small one, heal itself in a weekend!?

 

Because it was not really there in the first place, maybe?

Didnt it show up in the MRI?

Maybe it was misdiagnosed or really small.

 

That's amazing the meniscus tear just healed itself over the weekend. He really is wolverine. If the tear is healed, we should see him tonight against the nets. Woohoo.

 

He went into more detail in the interview.

I love catching Pat on Matt's show each week. The kid is charismatic and very clever. He's tagged himself Wolverine a few times before but hopefully this time it will stick. Not just for healing prowess but that's pretty much how he plays, as others have noted.

Heal fast Logan.

 

Amazing!

 

That would be very unlikely (though not impossible).

An injury as severe as a meniscus tear is likely something the medical staff would have checked diligently, especially since Bev is a million dollar investment. They would probably have checked multiple times before concluding the diagnosis.

If there was really a misdiagnosis, then I have little faith in the Rockets medical staff and they should be replaced entirely.
