Friend: Loose fragments are likely bone fragments from an old break. Doubt it will make his wrist feel much better but should only by 3-4 week recovery
Me: Raps docs said 4-5. I'm holding you to 3 weeks
Friend: I feel like team docs always quote longer so that when the player makes "an early return" it's sensational team news
That was a brief text exchange I had with a friend that is an actual Doctor. Idk if that makes anyone feel any better but I figured what's better than an outside opinion from another doctor (as far as you know) that has absolutely no insight on the situation except can quote from previous experience he may or may not have actually had.
Could be one of those things where you don't pick up a basketball for 3 weeks, and so you need a week of practice shooting before you return
Haha. More than likely. I did like his take on over extending the timeline to make it look like an early return. He told me to give him a call and he could say more but we began by talking about the oscars and then he said he had to go. Either way it doesn't matter I was just trying to bring some (false?) hope to people.
