Torn acls are very routine surgeries and PTs.
This isnt the 1980s...

Don't say that man. I refuse to speculate until I see him on the court.

He keeps himself in tip-top shape and he'll be 24 when his ACL is healed. If Baron Davis (who doesn't take care of his body) can come back and do that Kirilenko dunk at age 28, I like Derrick's chances.

again, it is not if a different player can come back.. it's how his body responds to injury.whether he keeps in shape or not.. you think that penny hardaway and grant hill wouldnt have the ability,will and determination to come back? sometimes your body doesnt do what you want it to do. cause all the players that have gotten seriously injured wanted to play bad, but it didnt happen for all of them

Penny and Grant Hill's injiries were nothing like an ACL tear.
Grant almost lost his Foot. Penny had microfracture surgery
They are Not even comparable.

you're missing the point. just cause one injury is more severe doesnt mean the player with the less severe injury is gonna make a full recovery. i'll bet that there have been plenty of athletes that "only" had an ACL tear but never returned to form. just cause others have returned to form doesnt mean all players will.. dont generalize, when injuries are very individual based.

not generalizing.
ACL surgery and recovery have completely evolved.
Its no longer gloom and doom when an athlete only tears his ACL.
to be fair, compare Athletes who have torn their ACL recently since the huge advances in the knife work and rehab. dont just grab the two most extreme injuries of star players that you can find.

You have no point, name one guy in the NBA who hasnt had the dreaded 3 who hasnt returned to full strength?
You cannot. Microfracture is even easier to comeback from depending on damage.
Besides your arguing with a dude who if I remember correctly had the ACL, MCL and meniscus torn and damn near came back.

Would you disagree if I said the reason for peoples struggles after an ACL is not building leg strength and balance?
Cause I thought that since they have been able to do the surgery arthroscopic the only issue is graft choice, and rehab and dedication.

He can still be a great player and maybe even get another mvp. baron davis tore his acl at ucla and he came back pretty damn explosive. a better example would be al harrington. harrington tore his acl when he was 21 and it was hist 4th year in the league. the very next season his numbers went down a bit but he improved every year after that
21 yrs old: 13.1 ppg <-- ACL tear
22: 12.2 ppg (82 games played)
23: 13.3 ppg
24: 17.5 ppg
25 18.6 ppg
28: 20.1 ppg
Sucks he's gonna be out 8-12 months though

You'd have a point if he shredded his whole knee or had a Baron Davis like injury.

G,
to this day, I havent landed solely on my left leg
and its been years, since my original surgery. for me, its a trust issue. I had a ACL scope long before my major knee injury (different leg) and the ACL was nothing compared to it
the balance and strength come back with PT. those are the basics of recovery and rehabilitation.
I just had a follow up surgery in december. most people who dislocated their knee cap and tore PCL have to have a secondary surgery years later so I knew it was coming
I had a teammate who did so much damage to his knee he lost part of a nerve that runs down to his achilles (not sure of the name)

Do you still have pain. Or is it literally just the trust and that you would rather not be hurt again
Are you still on track for that knee replacement at 40? Or you been keeping it cool trying like heck to avoid it.

No he wont. due to the fact that he's so quick his knee wont allow him to do that anymore
