Think about it, the 12 month was the long end of the estimate and he was on time / ahead of schedule to be cleared, meaning he was on the track to being normal, then something went wrong to make him be, not normal.
1. What is this 8-12 month thing anyway? Is that when you're cleared to play in games or is that when you're cleared to practice without limitations?
2. Is the 8-12 month recovery time including play, like is that for certain? This needs to be cleared up because it's causing a lot of confusion. Some don't know when it becomes mental vs physical and if the mental can only be handled outside of games
3. Then they need to change the recovery estimates because 8-12 months seems too long for people. Kyrv, you said it doesn't take 12 months to recover unless something went wrong, then why the heck does the recovery say 8 to 12 months? If you're right then it makes no sense to put that as a recovery time length.
With that said, I believe Rose should be playing. I believe him when he says that he just not ready but I also believe that playing in games would be the best course of action for his rehab.
But because doctors say 8-12 months he's within his rights to do what he's doing. If he doesn't feel right within the 12 months after surgery then what can really be said?
I'm not sure what you are saying, that everything is normal, but at 12 months and one day, there is a problem?
The recovery dates have been listed here many times. It doesn't take 12 months to recover. The Knicks didn't pretend it took 8 to 12 months when Schumpert got hurt the same day as Rose.
It doesn't matter what the 12 month thing 'includes' because it's not relevant. It doesn't take 12 months to recover, and it doesn't take 7 months after being cleared to return to the court. Unless something is wrong.
So maybe something is wrong, but as mentioned so many times, none of the explanations are 'good'. Whether we guess right or wrong, it's not good.
To be honest I'm sure which explanation I'm hoping for.
All of the ACL injuries this century were listed. The people who didn't come back had big problems. Not the kind we want. So health-wise it's actually better if he can play now, which is where all evidence points to anyway.
