🚨 AJ goes down with an ankle sprain early in the season! After landing awkwardly on a jump shot, he was able to get up with a little assistance from his teammates and walk off on his own—a hugely positive sign.
When we analyze ankle sprains, we are usually looking at three main types: high, lateral, and medial. In this case, it looks like a classic lateral ankle sprain, which is the most common and involves stretching or micro-tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
Depending on the severity, these injuries are classified from a Grade 1 (minor stretching and small tears) to a Grade 3 (a complete rupture).
Even if it’s a minor tweak, you absolutely cannot rush this rehab process early in the season. Restoring full mobility and foundational stability is the priority before he touches the hardwood again.
Drop your predictions below—how many games do you think he’ll sit out before making his return? 👇🏀
