When I saw the clip of the injury, the actual injury didn't look THAT bad, at least visually. Many guys roll their ankle like that and it won't be a Grade 3 sprain. Some guys just don't have as much stability in their joints and tendons and stuff to prevent an injury like that from being as severe as it could be.
Is it fair to wonder at this point if Lonzo is injury prone? _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

I’m learning that ankle sprains aren’t really about looks. I’m pretty sure everyone who’s played ball has turned their ankle completely over and somehow been able to continue playing that day.....and then a different time turn it similarly and it’s a 2month thing
Ankles are ankles, man. Everyone has had an ankle take them down for 3+ weeks
BI and Zo have both turned their ankles 3 times this year, this is the first time Zo will miss games bcuz of it

I had the same thought but then I read somewhere he had similar injury on that ankle before. Thus his anatomy and stability of that ankle would be different. Curry missed a significant number of games due to ankle sprain in his early career too.
Get well soon Zo. What else to say about it. We are just screwed this season with these injuries. There is nothing smart to say about all this. We just have to be patient and wait our moment of full health.

It looked bad, but not really 4-6 weeks bad. Anytime a player rolls his ankle it looks bad, but I've seen worse. Conversely, we'll all seen guys suffer lower body injuries where they were able to put weight on it with help and it didn't look really bad, and then they missed a couple months or even the rest of the season.
KIROE above said he's learning that injuries aren't really about looks. It seems like some guys have a stronger frame and greater stability where the same exact injury won't result in as much damage to them as it might to someone like Lonzo. I'm not a health care professional, so I could be wrong about that. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers
I wish there is some bank account for Lonzo. I would like to send some money for him to buy some decent shoes, like Nike or Adidas. This crap he is wearing is just wrong.
Man, as a Lonzo supporter that’s probably the last straw for me. Between the poor FT shooting, the mediocre overall shooting and the lack of emotion I see from him it’s been hard to back him. One thing I was hanging my hat on was the fact that he was healthy and appeared to be improving in some things and was still playing D.
Now another injury that’s going to have him playing 65 games this season at best? I’m out on Lonzo. He will have to show marked improvement in both his shooting and his health to get me back on the bus. Guess I’m a Kuzma guy now.

Way to be supportive. Guy gets hurt giving his all to the team and lets abandon him.

I’ve been a Stan since day one, I’ve taken up for him against all comers both on this board and IRL. There comes a point where you have to call them like you see em, us fans seem to care a lot more about his success then he does. Yes, it’s not his fault that he got hurt....it’s genetics I guess, dude is glass. Sorry, gotta go buy that Kuzma Jersey bro.

I've been so critical of Lonzo, but I have to say, the last few games he's been playing amazing on both ends. Especially down the stretch how he's been controlling the games. Man it sucks he had to get hurt, I feel he was finally finding his stride.
The kids body wont give him a break. He was just getting it going. Im not confident he will continue this rise right when he comes back. It will take him some time to get back in his groove, it seems like that is who he is. Bad timing imo, especially if he is out for 6 weeks.

Man, same thing happened last season. Just as he was playing his best basketball he gets injured. And he didn't return to his best form when he eventually came back. Now I'm going to be worried everytime he's playing well

Did Lebron's injury look like a 3 or 4 weeker? Yeah seeing his reaction you had to be worried. But the actual point where the injury happened did not look bad at all.

Plus we have to think when he does comeback Lebron should be going full steam ahead. So Lonzo even touching the ball will be far and few between. Nobody said it was going to be easy
Delly’s and Jackson’s Grade 3 sprains were more Impactful, I think Lonzo is more in line of having the less severe Grade 3 sprain which is why the time line is 4-6 weeks... if it was a tear he would need surgery and unless we are being played by the medical staff then, Lonzo’s time line is actually positive.

^^^ OK well I posted this in the injury thread but let me go ahead and post it here because it’s a bit more optimistic.
INTERESTING LONZO TWEETS
per Laker Film Room
Everywhere I've looked has said that a Grade 3 ankle sprain is a full rupture that takes longer than 4-6 weeks to heal from. @3cbPerformance gave some additional context here that could explain the more optimistic timeline. He's a good follow if you have injury questions.
https://twitter.com/lakerfilmroom/status/1087413548848836608?s=21
And Per Dr. Rajpal Brar, DPT
A grade 3 ranges from 75% torn to 100% torn (full rupture). W/ the latter, surgery is indicated whereas in the former (depending on extent) the ligament is still attached enough to heal. It’s a spectrum & Zo likely falls on the lower end of grade 3.
