Jeremiah Williams out for the year
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
If Lipsey was getting thrown to the wolves, well... Lipsey was the bear.
From the MBB twitter this am. No boot.
He's 4 months post injury and has been out of a boot on the sidelines.
On top of his physical therapy rehab he's probably doing things like cycling, rowing, elliptical. Low impact exercises.
The next progression will be to start running, jumping, and eccentric loading exercises to further strengthen the surgically repaired tendon. For JW, this might take place when he is 6 months post surgery. So around the time our season ends in late March.
Then finally, you would hope at about 9 months he is full go. Back on the court and participating in team workouts over the summer. Hopefully he is able to work on his jump shot this Spring in the meantime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctodus
Today considered to be an enormous omnivore, Arctodus simus is believed to be one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivorans that has ever existed. However, Arctodus, like other bears, was highly sexually dimorphic. Adult A. simus ranged between 300 kg to 950 kg, with females clustering at ≤500 kg, and males around 800 kg. The largest males stood at 1.6 meters at the shoulder, and up to 3 meters tall on their rear legs.
950 kilograms is 2,100 pounds. That is similar to a male bison.
9 meters would make this thing quite literally ten-feet tall.
Supposed to take a couple of seasons to get back to pre-injury condition. That's why the Minnesota Gopher's running back Mohamed Ibrahim rushing for 1,665 yards last season after an Achilles injury in his first game the season before was crazy impressive. That senior injury ended his NFL hopes for 2022 but his 5th year comeback sure solidified his NFL stock and proved he is back (and maybe even get better).
I think the full recovery times don't exactly have young athletes in mind. Not that things can't go wrong or be slow for them, but if you go into a surgery strong and in great shape, are young and hit your post-surgery therapy, sleep and nutrition hard you can usually crush those timelines.
Perhaps even Ursus Maritimus Tyrranus if they really were as big as projected from a single discovered leg bone. The first polar bear subspecies decending from an ancient brown bear. A full 6' tall at the shoulder, with a longer torso, and longer legged and heavier than Arctodus, full grown U. M. Tyrranus males would have been approaching 12' tall when on their rear legs. For comparison, our largest bear today a male modern polar bear, Ursus Maritimus, is about 5'1 at the shoulder and about 9' tall on his hind legs.
If that subspecies ever really existed...
Helps to have a full time medical team working with you throughout the process too.
Not only this, but recovery times are getting better and better for quite a few injuries that used to be career enders.
