Jabari Out With a Foot Sprain (playing in CLE pg 14)

[Jez2983]

Let's look closely at the Gardner piece:

Parker felt discomfort in his right foot, and an MRI exam done Monday revealed a sprain of the talonavicular joint, located above the ankle.

The Bucks announced Monday night that more tests would be done and a timetable for his return would be determined at a later date. Parker is not on the current trip that opens with a game against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night.

1. Super props for the Bucks for immediately disclosing what they found with the exact name of the diagnosis. That does allow a professional like Jez to offer that this could be a longer situation.

2. More tests and timetable? If this is a run of the mill foot sprain, he's probably traveling with the team.

Some of the language is encouraging-felt discomfort? Does this mean he didn't roll his ankle?

Kidds language is also encouraging. Unless he's busting out the Skiles/Bogut tough love routine.

The other difference between this and Bogut, for example, is that there has been a lot more certainty, and it's not come from the heady environment of post-game locker rooms.

I'm going to panic every time I see the word navicular, will stop breathing into the bag when he's suited up again.

I thought this was Jez for a second and I panicked.

You and Jez need to decide which one of you Aussies is going to keep that Giannis gif avatar, because it's super confusing that I see you both posting back-to-back.

Provided it's not accompanied by 'stress reaction' 'hot spot' 'break' or 'fracture' you're pretty sweet.

Or the name Jack Trengrove.

I should do something for the medical related posts.

Nah it adds to the fun. He's more arguey than me which amuses me.

Either I should change to BuckAussie or you to Jez8329. Much hilarity to be had.

Wait so the foot is above the ankle? This is worse than I could have imagined.

WHY IS JEZ TALKING TO HIMSELF

I imagine jabari at home, foot up RICEing waiting for the game to start reading this thread and laughing until he cries

Yup, it was the extra six minutes of play after a 4 day rest that caused this injury.

Besides that, for all we know, Parker could be going at it as hard in practice as in games.

As much as i wanted the team to be extra careful with him, i can't fathom that anyone from the coaching staff to the front office would let Jabari practice hard, much less play in games unless all doctors involved and the trainers gave the ok for him to play.

As medical advances have progressed for injuries to athletes, we see players coming back earlier and earlier in all sports without negative ramifications.

For these pro franchises, they understand just how valuable upper tier players are to their franchises, especially big potential young players. So i have a hard time believing that Kidd, the front office, and ownership would have put Parker out on the court unless the doctors gave assurances that it was ok to do so.

He better not laugh too hard - he might throw out his back or something.

Not to mention Jabari and his management. No way Jabari is on the court unless a mutual decision is made by medical, bucks and Jabari.

I like how he abbreviated MRI but not CT.

Side note: CT scans with iodine contrast are freaky.

He wanted to sound smarter by using the full names, but with 140 characters had to go with one abbreviation over the other. It just makes him seem like he has less of a clue than ever.

Very encouraging stuff coming out past hour or so. Keep him out an extra week-10 days past whenever he is cleared to return.

This is my fault. I'm in the Twin Cities and only get to go to Bucks games at the Bradley Center on the rare occasions I'm back in the Milwaukee area to visit family. Last year, my wife and I splurged on courtside seats to the December 27 game against Atlanta, as we were around for Christmas. We bought those tickets just before the ACL tear. Fast forward almost one year and we bought courtside seats again. This time against Sacramento next Wednesday because we're in the Milwaukee area for Thanksgiving. Literally the next day, Jabari gets hurt again. I'm a curse.
