Unfortunately, given the mechanism of his injury, I would wager to say that he suffered an AC joint injury. Hopefully he didn’t break his clavicle and just sprained the area. I didn’t hear about any fracture yet, so that’s a good sign.
The good thing is that he’s not playing football. The bad thing is that basketball is still a contact sport where you have to raise your arms over your head frequently. It might come down to a pain tolerance thing as well. However, this could very well be a multiple week injury.
Not sure what Maxi was trying to do on that play aside from trying to make a sweeping hero dunk (which he looked too far away to attempt). It seems like more and more players are trying to do that, putting themselves at risk for a hard fall when their legs are taken out from under them. How many times have you thought DJJ was gonna be hurt this season after one of his dunk attempts? On a related note, we are lucky Lively didn’t get hurt when he fell awkwardly. That looked really bad at first, especially given the injury he just came back from.
