Knee injury

[proelitedota]

Grade I MCL tear. The mildest kind.

He should be back.

I heard sprain which isn't a tear. Should be recoverable. Would he have helped? Maybe

Technically a sprain is a slight tear.

In his post-game, Coach said that Jack fell into Marques's leg earlier in the week. The injury was mild enough that they thought he might be able to play tonight, but earlier in the day, they decided to hold him out, so they told the press about it at the shootaround. Coach said that hopefully Marques will be able to play next week.

He had a mild/moderate MCL sprain that was expected to keep him about 1-2 weeks. It's now been 2.5 weeks. I believe Coach K said recently (Pitt PC on Sat?) that he was doing fine with straight line running but was still having issues with lateral movement. Honestly, we didn't need him the last 2 games and I hope the staff is being extra cautious. If he doesn't suit up for UVa or ND then I will begin to wonder how mild the sprain was.

I don't think there's any reason to be concerned. He suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain. By way of comparison, Steph Curry suffered the same injury against the Rockets in the 2016 playoffs and was out a little over 2 weeks. And he was a critical player in the playoffs.

In Bolden's case, it's not the injury, but the lack of opportunity to continue developing, which he could use.

I really hope that comparison turns out to be inaccurate. Curry suffered that knee injury and, yes, he came back. He was not the same player the rest of the playoffs, however, and the GSW lost to the Cavs.

Hopefully it is a speedy recovery, we can use him in the upcoming tournaments!

i saw him LIGHTLY jogging down the sideline as he was coming in after halftime on his way to the bench last saturday. hopefully, that's a positive sign.

The issue isn’t running in a straight line, something he has presumably been doing for a while now. The concern is lateral stability when moving side-to-side.

Bolden is also much bigger, it's going to take longer for the same sprain to develop enough strength to support his frame.

It's a shame. he'd certainly been a contributing member of the team. Maybe the crazies can show him some love saturday pregame?
