looks like a kneecap dislocation, which should have a fairly short recovery (6-8 weeks) as long as theres no structural damage

If its a knee dislocation or a patellar tendon tear thats more serious

The movement looks too severe to not be a patella tear, but I hope I’m wrong.

Just brutal. Was averaging 15 PPG on 68% TS in the 21 games before his wrist injury, misses three weeks, then comes back and scores 23 with three excellent steals again Flagg in the 4th/OT.

Expected EPM had him as the 7th best 23-year old going forward behind Chet, the Thompsons, Dyson, Miller, and Ajay and ahead of Edey, Paolo, Sengun, Giddey, Watson, and Kuminga.

Just a solid three and D player who was coming into his own.

It’s only the second full match I’ve watched as I’m getting into it from the UK, I rewound it just to see how he fell, then saw the close up. Never seen anything like that from a fall before. I don’t really know what to say, I hope he is able to play again but I really don’t know what the outlook is for an injury like that. Praying for him. 🙏

New_Essay5327

As someone whose kneecap also popped out, I haven’t had any severe issues, but I wouldn’t say it has been the same since. It happened when I was 13 and when I went in to get a knee MRI for a different issue, my doctor said that there was a scar tissue nodule on my ACL, which probably was from the same incident. I’ve always had to be a little mindful if I am decelerating quickly because it doesn’t feel 100% stable, maybe 95% stable.

CummingInTheNile

1 | 33 minutes ago

was more of a panic response at the time lol, weird part is it didnt hurt until it popped back into place

I do have some stability issues, but thats because, and this is my surgeons theory not mine, when i dislocated it initially it chipped off a piece of bone from the tibia that became a free floating bone spur that fucked up in the knee for about a decade before it finally popped up on an MRI scan, which is apparently fairly uncommon.

I’m no doctor but it looks like his patella shifted after some kind of a tear more so than a dislocation.

I’ve seen my share of dislocated knees as a first responder too.

I dated a girl who torn her same patella twice in different ways. I have looked up patella tears and knee dislocations before, and I have never seen something like this.

He’s not a terrible player he’s just.. a good role player and that’s it. He was getting overrated last season and the beginning of this season because lakers fans try to do anything to convince people that the luka trade wasn’t an absolute robbery like nothing we’ve ever seen before. But christie is a nice player to have on your roster

Gasgassgass saw 1 possession, and just talking out of his ass.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/chrisma02.html

He’s shooting 40% 3pt on 5.8 attempts. 60% true shooting.

He’s on a tanking team. Once the Mavs stop tanking, he’ll have to prove he can maintain these numbers while playing spirited defense.

Everything said, the trajectory is the opposite of terrible.
