She passed at a fairly young age of 58. That's gotta be tough.

It's so sad that no matter how much money you have, there are some things that you have no control over. Both parents gone so young. I know that's tough

Wall has dealt with a unfair amount of personal tragedy from family members dying or in jail....
He is showing a lot of resilience and strength...

Awful news. Deepest condolences to John and everyone near to him.

Less hopeful than it looks. There's a hitch in his gait and he doesn't fastforward on that first step like he used to. Interesting.

Most of the "history" of these injuries is kind of useless pre-2010 cases. Not enough shared data or proliferation of data on the subject. We're in an age now where the care is really going to meticulous from the surgery right on down to the rehabilitation phase to limiting minutes and cutting out back to backs on the actual hardwood.

I think soon we'll throw out a lot of old history cases from before even 2015. Not modern enough.

Pretty much. The sports science and medical fields of just rocketed light years ahead of where they were in the mid2000s and 90s

Much Better. That's what I was hoping to see. The ability to blur the screen trying to follow him. I see the shadow of favoring one leg, but he's still faster than most folks even at 90%.

Indeed.. just 15-20 years ago microfracture surgery was a widespread procedure for correcting knee damage despite only having like a sub-50% success rate. Now they have procedures that are closer to 70-80% success and microfracture is completely unheard of in the sports medicine field.

I think achilles recovery will be viewed similarly, the success rate is going up across all sports. Richard Sherman was an NFL pro bowler this season just two years removed from his Achilles tear.
