Where is Jahlil Okafor?

[LongLiveHinkie]

We may not know all of the details, but we know that he didn't break it again just from the fact that he was allowed to walk around on it for a month without the boot.

Whatever. If the Sixers change medical staffs after this season, are you going to complain about it?

Complain about it? Don't know. It would be a dumb move.

Not if it works.

He's faking it.

All kidding aside, that sucks. It'll be even harder to trade him while he's recovering from injury.

Not really. Guys have had strained groins before. That's not going to scare teams away. Shot blocking big men always have a market. A couple weeks ago the Warriors and Cavs were trying to get freak!n Larry Sanders to come out of retirement to play. If the 76ers really want to trade Noel, there is a market, currently injured or not.

I guess we would have to define what a medical staff is. If it is the sports science folks, who are responsible for rehabbing and preventing injuries then it would be dumb to replace them.

There are other things for BC to focus on than the medical people.

It'll be harder to trade him because he's not on the floor showing his ability. His defensive metrics fell off a cliff last season. It would be easier to trade him if he was out there playing center and dominating.

He re-broke his foot. He says the fracture re-opened.

Watch on YouTube

He talks about it at 2:20.

That's not rebreaking the foot. It's the original injury not healing properly.

He said the fracture re-opened. A fractured navicular is a broken foot.

His foot never healed all the way. It wasn't a new injury is my point. The question is not whether or not his foot was considered fractured. It is whether or not he fractured it again. The healing regressing is not the same thing as breaking it again.

Ilgauskus actually rebroke the foot. Embiid didn't.

The NBA has 2 years of tape on Nerlens Noel. The 76ers playing him out of position for 50 games isn't going to kill his value. Everybody knows what he can do.

It's not going to kill his value, but it's probably lower than where it should be. Being healthy and dominant would assuage the concerns that he regressed.

It doesn't matter if the bone was fully healed or not. A break is a break. He re-broke his foot. You're not using the word 're-broke' correctly. Just say it wasn't a new injury.

Lol what are you the New England Journal of Medicine? A fracture not completely healing properly is different than an intact bone fracturing.

And you base your diagnoses off of throwaway lines from a guy in the back seat of a limo during a Vice interview? Every time this has been reported its been that it didn't heal properly not that he rebroke it.

Because the Sixers were intentionally vague when describing what happened. "Didn't heal properly" doesn't sound as bad as "he re-broke his navicular", even though the two descriptions aren't mutually exclusive.

Ok fair enough.

It isn't fair.

If he rebroke the foot it would have been an immediate crisis necessitating that he stay off the foot entirely, and get surgery ASAP. He had no pain, and they let him walk around without a boot for a month or so, and they NEVER would have done that had he broken it again.

It is simply inaccurate to say that this was a second injury.

It doesn't matter though since the bone graft seems to have repaired the bone entirely. I hope to God that it holds up. At this point it is probably more likely that he will break the other foot than rebreak this foot since the bone graft makes the bone stronger/ thicker than it was before.

According to Pompey, Okafor had a little setback while scrimmaging with Embiid at Camp.

BB said there was biting and pain in Okafor's repaired knee.

Oh Lord, give us a break.

Sounds like that was at camp right?

So they're trying to get the meniscus to repair itself by keeping himself of it. Sounds like they're being precautionary.

I'm not too worried. The fact that he's still targetted to start the season is good. Even if he misses a couple of weeks I'm fine with that...

It is obvious that it was not re-broken because they didn't put him in an air-cast boot or cast. If it truly were re-broken it would be considered malpractice to let a guy walk around with a broken navicular.
