Moral. Don't play with lingering effects from a calf injury. Take it from Aaron Rodgers who suffered a calf strain before his disastrous Jets debut.

Shorten the season. These guys are playing with injuries that cause more injuries.

Damn is with adidas, Tatum with Jordan/Nike, and Hali is with Puma. The issue is a series of things..

The way the game is rapidly changing with more demands on players bodies

Training staffs not giving correct assessments on players with calf injuries that aren’t fully healed

Shoes! These low top shoes are no supporting the players lower bodies the way they use to.

Players aren’t taping their ankles wearing supports to compensate for the low tops and shoe designs…

Players having too much pride to keep playing through injuries. 2 chances at a championship lost…

They used to play in Chuck Taylor’s, I think today’s shoes are not to blame here.

I agree that there’s nothing to suggest shoes are the problem. We certainly have some confirmation bias going on with these injuries. But, shoe innovations have been known to cause issues in the past. https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/features/retro-runner-rehab-a-brief-history-of-the-nike-ld-1000/

So he will miss all of next season I’m assuming? Including playoffs if the Celtics make it?

Watch out Donte

I hope the players union finally starts to pressure to reduce the number of games of the season. A 82-games season is insane. Nobody wins when players are out from 6 to 12 months

It’s an epidemic

Too much playing not enough recovery, this is a wear and tear injury. I ruptured my own at age 50 playing volleyball.

One of the effects of Long Covid is weakening of tendons. Makes it even more crucial for players to rest in offseason.

Athletes getting stronger and faster + everyone playing in a pace and space system + too damn reg season games plus playoffs = too many catastrophic injuries
