FWIW, Henson doesn't seem to think it's too serious....?

(He also sounds like a great guy)

HELL YEAH!

Achilles and ACL are both terrible because, once you have one once, it makes it much more likely you face the same injury again.

They are hard to fully recover from..

Hope Exum takes advantage of the extra minutes he is going to play while KPJ is gone... Extra minutes for Windler too if he comebacks soon...

Not to be a jerk, but since Windler has logged zero minutes, playing 1 minute is extra minutes for him, lol

Didn't say will miss 2 weeks, said he will be re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

Beilein said they are ramping Windlers workouts up again.

Way to ruin my sarcastic joke with useful information.

Oh you're right, that's the random one I picked to link but I saw the rest of them saying re-evaluate. Didn't realize that one just said miss.

I think knee sprains can be hard to gauge how long it will take to get back on the court. It's probably more about the swelling going away and range of motion coming back.

Isn’t a sprain a partial tear? Do they know which ligament he sprained?

Absolutely. Yeah, I just thought Withers did a bad job there with reporting. Not your fault.

Any sprain means some tearing, so his knee is pretty loose right now. How much? How long? I was hopeful last night because they said he had no stabilization when he left the arena.

It was a fluke, but it does make me worry about Porter because he is so side to side spidery. With the way he moves, this may be an issue going forward.

Great news, I was enjoying watching him so far this year.

Best case scenario in my mind, I was thinking ACL or Achilles,,,this shouldn't be an issue going forward. They will let him completely rest and heal
until he's 100%,,they won't rush him back.
