Imo plantar fasciitis is one of the worse things you can have as a basketball player and imo Jimmy is now damaged goods
To be fair plantar fasciitis isn't a death sentence. Could definitely be worse. Lots of players have dealt with it. I also doubt that was the case last year in the finals and it still being the case to start the season. It would have been easily treated in the off-season.
Plantar isn’t something you can just “treat” in a few months. It can improve for some time, then out of no where, in the middle of a game it will come back, and stay there. It’s painful, and usually you can play through the discomfort, especially early in the game. But as the game goes on, soon as he sits/ halftime comes around it will start to ache like a mf again.
Far from being a permanent or chronic condition, plantar fasciitis typically responds well to treatment. Most people recover completely with a few months of conservative treatment. And, you have lots of options available to you. Many cases of plantar fasciitis respond positively to conservative treatment strategies.
