Young PG with loads of potential that could never really stay healthy. He blew out his knee last night Willis McGahee style on a fast break layup. Those squeamish about these types of injuries shouldn't watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDrA0bWPlhU
Gruesome injury. You're right about his potential -- assuming he can come back healthy, he'll be a fun player to watch develop. He's still really young, and playing a position where age seems to help a bit.
Saw that on the news and man was that uuuuuuugly!!! I destroyed my knee in '96 and what a nightmare that was, I wish the guy luck in his recovery.
Agreed. Football - Joe Theismann's broken leg. Baseball - There was a pitcher a couple years back who broke his arm on a pitch. It was absolutely disgusting. I would say Dave Dravecky(sp?), who had to have his arm amputated, but I never actually saw footage of him breaking his arm, which I believe was similar to the guy I am thinking about.
Tyrone Prothros was nasty as well. Here is what a doctor said about the injury: He did dislocate his tibio-femoral joint. I hope he signed a nice contract and he doesn't waste his money. He's never playing in the pros again. ACL PCL MCL meniscus Basically nothing but hamstrings and quads left to hold is lower leg on. I just hope is blood vessels are OK. If not, the kid could lose his leg.
