GAME 82: SAS (34-48) vs. DAL (52-30)| 120-130 WIN!

[SleepingHero]

KD had the  lowest level grade 1 strain, missed an entire series and a half I think and returned to tear his Achilles. This is some truly bad news, potentially.

There are only 3 grades. Luka already qualifies for grade 1 being the lowest. 

Grade 1: Sharp pain at the time of injury or pain with activity.
Mild Pain and localized tenderness. Mild spasm and swelling.
<10% muscle fiber disruption


Grade 2: Unable to continue activity
Clear loss of strength and range of motion
10-15% disruption of muscle fibers

Grade 3: Immediate severe pain, disability
Complete loss of muscle function. Palpable defect.
50-100% disruption of muscle fibers, tendon retraction



That 10% is a big variable. If you have a calf strain with say 3% muscle fiber injury he could be back in no time before we know it. 10% can be multiple weeks. It also depends which muscles are hurt exactly, Luka's pain tolerance, and how he moves it. So many variables. 

I am depressed.
