Feel free to look through the magic archives and nba.com PRs. I looked through them and nowhere does the team state a “high ankle sprain” just a severely sprained ankle. If you can find where they say that great. Otherwise I have to assume that’s your guess. The team is now putting him in some rehab program which begs the question the heck were they doing since November 11th when he first sprained it.
Thanks for spending the time to look.I could have saved that for you - it's a severe ankle sprain which was called a high ankle by some local Magic media. At this point you are arguing semantics, since high ankles are severe ankle injuries and the main takeaway is that he has the worst kind of sprain you can have. That's really all that matters - hence the term severe.
I have no idea how he was treated. All I know is that severe ankles are 6-8 weeks. And he probably came back too early. Not sure why, but that's what happened.
It matters; if it is a high ankle sprain why can’t the team come out and say it? I feel the team has been deliberately secretive with Isaac’s injury. I don’t remember them releasing a timetable for a return; the few updates they’ve given have been very vague; and now he’s out indefinitely in some rehab program. I can’t be the only one that finds all this suspicious.
It was pretty well known on this board that his ankle was severe it and would be 6-8 weeks. There were posters that did not follow as close and would ask for when JI would be back. But it was established pretty fast that he was gone for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Nothing really that suspicious about a bad ankle injury. They take time to heal and it sucks when you have to do sharp lateral movements.
This is just the team taking full precaution as other teams are also doing (see Fultz) and at the same time securing the tank. This is almost a blessing in disguise while Isaac has been out Hezonja has been getting heavy run and salvaging up the little value he has left.
