[Injury] Replay of Ant’s ankle injury
Ant vs steph was what we wanted to see
Competitive recovery
I laughed out loud literally
Sensu bean binging
Can they just delay the series a week and pick it back up when they’re both healthy?
That would honestly be so dope lol. “Injury rescheduling” in the playoffs, with the requirement that one marquee player on each team has to be out
Lol the team with the star injured is just gonna have someone injure the other teams star
Dramyond legacy game
Generational talent
Bring back enforcers and 90s physicality!
Imagine if they did this with achilles/ACL injuries lol. Playoffs lasting over 1 year!
and then the star recovers only to get a DNP because he’s shit now
And with that, the idea is shutdown.
Another reason: say another third team is having a separate tough 7 game series - they bribe players on both teams to injury people to delay the next round 😂
I always wondered if any owners purposely created “fire alert” in their stadium to delay a match
I’ve never even considered I’ve never once seen a game delayed so to a fire alarm. I’m sure there’s laws about that sort of thing in any packed stadium anywhere in the country…how has no one thought of pulling the fire alarm even once? In the age of sports betting, I’m absolutely sure this has been considered by some piece of shit human. It’s crazy it’s never happened to my knowledge.
Welp, you not gonna be able to say that for long.
gloves up
Can they…asking for a Cavs.
NBA ratings going to the mud
Ant’s trying to take down the infinity stones man not like this
You’ll get Daymond flagrants and Jimmy Butler free throws and you’ll like it
YOU GET NOTHING!
*Ant vs step
A centers entire weight on his ankles, woof that doesn’t look good, this gonna be the geriatric series
He’s currently on the floor warming up. I think he’ll be back out there in the 2nd half.
Entirely possible he can play on it today and it swells up like a watermelon
He’s incredibly lucky he was falling the way he did but that still just doesn’t look good. I think I give him a quarter to make sure adrenaline isn’t pumping letting him think he can go. Gotta protect him from himself after the head coach called him out for not playing a game lol
Hopefully its nothing serious and just a bruise, cuz if thats a sprain its a high ankle sprain
Honestly it didnt look bad at all. It was not bent in a weird way so it was just the weight that hurt, at worst a bone bruise I would guess
Hopefully it’s just a bruise
Gladly it wasn’t on the knee
50⁄50 shot of him coming back in 2 minutes or missing the game with Ant with how tough he is.
Probably shooting some toradol into him as we speak
Probably shooting himself into someone as we speak
Hell nawl can’t do dis
Send da kleenex
he’ll come out after halftime to sing the rest of “Please, Please, Please”
They putting some of that horse tranquilizer Chuck always talk about up his ass during half time
He came back whew
The Stafford of the NBA
Ha ya he warming up now
human ankles gotta be one of the worst designed things ever
God gotta nerf us somehow
I thought that what the greed was for?
I thought it was cancer. Like here’s 40 millions cells in your body and at any time any one of them can become the most nightmarish disease on earth. Enjoy
“oh, its not working well enough? whelp, I’m gonna patch the system, now everything causes cancer!”
Cancer is not human specific, you can find it in any living organism in one way or another
Genuine question.. what would a more ideal ankle design look like?
We only have 2 ligaments protecting/checking our ankle joint during mobility (plantar flexion/ inversion) so it’s either lose the mobility/make it stronger or vice versa. Shoulder joint a much weaker joint though
Shoulders suck so much. It’s the true nerf considering our ability to throw with accuracy might be the primary reason why we became apex predators.
A gorilla doesn’t stand a chance lol
ok, let’s do 100 gorillas and one guy with 99 bullets
😂 down
Really not sure how to answer this, but I think a start would just be thicker ligaments* that are still as flexible. Part of the reason ankles suck is that the ligaments* are so fragile they tear easily. Having thicker more solid tendons that still managed to be flexible would make us way more durable.
Edit: Ligaments* not tendons
It has nothing to do with tendons unless it’s an achilles tear or another smaller muscle group. It’s the ligaments that keep the joint stable and resist movement. You can’t have both more flexible tissue and stronger. They’re opposites. The more flexible tissue becomes the less stable the joint is
Yeah I meant ligaments, and yeah that’s kinda my point. In order to have a more ideal ankle would be to have stronger ligaments that are still flexible. There isn’t really any answer to this question that actually exists in reality.
I think about this all the time. We evolved from animals, right? Seems like we really evolved out of a lot of pretty cool physical traits along the way. As far primates go, we’re super athletically unimpressive. Like– I just want to swing through the trees.
We became apex predator because we can use complex tools.
I dunno I’d argue the esophagus is the dumbest part about evolution - just a single tiny flap is all that stands between you and food going into your lungs and dying.
a tiny flap!!!!
I’m sure there is probably a group of humans living somewhere who for centuries jumped up and down on uneven surfaces.
Ankles or the knees. Truly awful design. 1⁄10
That looks terrible
This series is disgusting, I’m seeing Kevin Knox on my screen playing real playoff minutes. Gross
You gonna watch LeCrosse James and youre gonna like it
Yeah this sucks 10 kinds of ass
I have never heard this phrase but I’ll be adding ten types of ass into the rotation
Tonight has convinced me to not even watch until Steph’s back. it’s a complete waste of time
If
Tell me you are lying about Kevin Knox
could have been worse honestly
edit: inshallah he’s fine
Yeah, just a 6”5 210lb man landing on his ankle. Nothing to see here.
It’s weird how specific you were to be so completely wrong lol
Thought it was Santos ?
The video is literally right on this post, and the guy literally turns so you can see his name..it’s TJD
6’9” 231+
They claim he’s now 6’11. And was 245 at the combine and he’s at least 15lbs heavier there’s no other reason he’s so impossibly slow compared to last year.
yeah, certainly painful but in the video it doesn’t look like his ankle twisted at a crazy angle, hopefully it’s only momentary pain and he’ll be back
He’s not coming back today. That things gonna swell up based on how he was walking.
Ant has literally been carried to the locker room before and come back to start the second half. No guarantees with him no matter how bad it looks.
Edit: he is warming up at halftime currently.
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, Ant is the king of going down with what looks like a serious injury only to return 15 minutes later
It’s the LeBron gene. Tighten those laces
He fooled me 😂
Dude needs to take up acting
TJD is definitely larger than that.
I don’t think you understand physics, nor the human anatomy
If it’s high ankle he’s done for the series. The human thumb Jackson-Davis came right down on it.
I love seeing reddit doctors watch ant injuries because theyre like “thats 100% an acl tear” and then he’s back next quarter
I’m a Reddit doctor and this could range very widely. High ankle sprain seems very possible. Lower tibial fracture worst case, or bad rolled ankle and he just misses the rest of this game maybe
I’m also thydoctor
Lmao. I stared at this comment for like 2 mins trying to understand it before I saw your username
suck it nerd
I’m CPR certified and the fact that they didn’t even check him for a pulse is very concerning. Pretty sure he’s dead.
They didn’t even tell someone to get an AED. No way he survived
I’m a certified 80s kid - rub some dirt on it and he’ll be fine
Can we just turn injuries off in general? Like fuck man I hope he’s ok and Curry gets back ASAP. This series is way too good of a matchup to get hit by injuries
You say this as Brian Sutterer MD is currently setting up his camera
This is why you are not the doctor man. He never turned his camera off
Remember when Giannis’s knee went inverted and he missed two games? that shit was crazy
The reason why the greats are the greats is their ability to avoid and play through injury
I’m sorry but they’re gonna have to amputate.
He’s got that LeBron healing factor
it could also be a bone bruise- that’s what kyrie had after dwight powell fell onto his foot last season.
might take him out a game or two but leaves room for him to return this series
Issues with left and right much?
I mean… sure, I guess technically his leg could’ve snapped in half, but other than that, this was pretty bad on it’s own…
this playoffs was shaping up to be generational (besides okc chewing up and spitting out the nuggets in g2) and now we have steph and ant injured. man
I was really hyped for this series and a good consolation for us losing. Without Curry I am even more mad now that we lost game 7.
Amen vs Ant would have been intense as fuck. I think the rockets series is one of those series where both teams came out better than they went in, maybe a bit beat up though. Might be weird but I actually became a fan of the rockets after that war of a series because amen is nutty.
Who needs Steph vs Ant when we have Draymond vs Gobert
its just this series, i’m sure both of them will be back by game 5
Feels like we are seeing an era come to an end
that look much worse than before where i thought he landed awkwardly
People gonna act like this was on purpose lol
No? It was very clearly an accident lol. Plays like this are unfortunate but it happens
You underestimate how stupid some of these NBA fans are
Nah cmon this one isn’t even close, they were both airborne and it was a clean block that happened feet away from where they landed, and neither player was even looking at the other. Just an athletic play by both players and bad luck, but hopefully Ant is fine.
I’m on your side but nba fans are very dumb
Why are you creating a hypothetical narrative to argue against lol nobody is saying that
I’ve already seen it it’s not a hypothetical lol
Look at the comments under this thread, you’ll see a lot of comments saying TJD is dirty when it’s not even intentional. It’s not like Dillon Brooks where he intentionally looked and targeted to step in Ant’s ankle.
Mostly from Lakers fans, but I don’t expect Lakers fans to be that smart either.
It’s hilarious because LeBron dove directly for Ants ankles a week ago but they were quiet
13 minutes before you posted someone called TJD “The new Zaza”.
There’s like 10 in this thread dude
When Ja fell down awkwardly (on nobody) the comments were blaming Hield and quinten post when they never touched him
I’m a homer obviously but warriors derangement is hilarious
Having his ankle be stepped on feels like a better case scenario than rolling it
You’re right, but both of these types of ankle injuries usually occur at the same spot. If he rolled it inwards it could have been way worse.
Had a similar incident with a big stepping on my ankle, it was way less severe than landing on someone’s for when landing. That hurt sooo bad… I wish when I played we had the rule of being able to land on a jumper. I was taught growing up, to challenge the shot by jumping all the way to their landing zone and instantly turn around and box him out.
This is where it’s nice to have one of those soft landings/volleyball rolls that Steph does on his layups. it’d be good for TJD’s sake as well because he could’ve just as easily rolled his ankle on this play
Why do dumbfucks in the thread act like this is anything but unlucky. People are really dumb enough to say that this is with intent?
Bruh some of y’all have never played sports and it shows
Oh you’ve played at the pro level?
bro i’m all pro rec league
you’ve played at the pro level?
What does that have to do with playing sports? Anybody who has played beyond recreational knows what it’s like to deal with injuries and how easy it is to fuck something up bad.
I hope Ant can come back this game but this was a scary collision.
Fuck I hope it’s not that serious
Sucks that both team’s best players are injured in this series
I hate it when injuries ruin the playoffs
But Buddy is healthy?
That suuuuucks. Not how I wanted this series to go at all
I feel like I see him turn his ankle once every three or four games and come back. Heck I remember a game late in the season last year where the Wolves were in Indiana, was helped off the floor, we all cheered for Ant and wished him the best as he left, and came back and had an epic block at the end of that game to beat the Pacers making me sad that night. Here’s wish Ant the best.
Yeah it’s unreal i’ve seen Ant tweak his ankle in a fashion that would have most players out for weeks only to come back and drop 40 on like 95% ts.
Ant is the LeBron James of the prototype cyborg SG.
Left Ankle Sprain, return is questionable
Damn 😬
Damn hope he gets better soon. I know Adam Silver is sweating bullets with Steph and Ant out right now.
What the hell is going on with the injuries lately
200 lbs directly coming down on your ankle with force, hopefully nothing is broken
Julius Randle vs Jimmy Butter with Rudy vs Draymond as the undercard is not the playoff matchup I expected
Ouch fuck
As a warriors fan, I hate to see this. Honestly. I just want good basketball and healthy players.
Just because Curry is injured, doesn’t mean I want others player to be.
I hope Ants okay. And it was bad RNG that TJJ landed on Antman :(
Fuck that’s a lot of weight on an ankle joint
This is just sad man, I wanna see Ant vs Steph. Speedy recovery on both guys.
EDIT: good to know he’s alright, but a small part of my brain wishes he just sits it out and just play on game 3 lmfao
He be aight in a few
that’s why boston shoots so many 3s
God this went from one of the best series to one of the dullest…
FAKER
Weird how he came back and played back to normal
Is that potentially a dead spot on the floor? Didn’t someone else in the playoff already got injured this way?
Was this the same ankle/leg that LeBron landed on?
Dang. Ollie to ankle grind
I tore a ligament like this my senior year. Unfortunately, their 6’10 center came crashing down on the inside of my ankle after a rebound. It took about 2 years to fully recover. I still remember that pain 20 years later 😭
I swear Ant has bones/muscles of steel…. dude has had so many close calls with terrible looking injuries. probably 3 - 5 times already this season. That’s how strong and tough his body is.
That warrior dude earned himself a bonus.. 😂
Looks like TJD may have noticed he stepped on something (like how one notice stepping on a dog’s foot) and avoided his full weight on it. O/w TJD may be the one who would be injured, depending on how he landed.
oof 🤕
That’s worst than rolled ankle. Imagine a 7 footer accidentally stepped on your ankle. That can literally break.
Holy smokes. he is back.
TJD is huge man
Let them both play on one leg. 1v1, winner takes all!
Jackson-Davis get ready to go into witness protection buddy
Contact injury. He’s fine.
Ahh so another warrior injuring another player. Got it
Lebron did worse to ant a week ago…. You guys have no self awareness
Goddamn
The warriors injuring a star player in the playoffs? That’s weird because that never happens
Warriors at its finest
He was intentionally stepped on, dirty play
Even series now
Nah, the wolves roster is still better constructed overall
Hm in my unprofessional opinion if it’s anything it could be a fracture. Dont think it’s a sprain
I blame Draymond
[deleted]
Less dirty than the lebron death roll.
Fuck you Tracy Jackson Davis
Zaza Pchulia apprentice
Fuck trayce Jackson davis
For playing defense?
No techs, no flagrant. New strategy????
Warriors and injuring the opponent
name a more iconic duo
Lakers fans and the stupidest comments known to man.
