Kane's Ankle
- Thread starter BloodyBuddy
- Start date
I have no insider information here, but let's look at this logically. He rolled his ankle. He didn't break it, it's not a high ankle sprain. It will be swollen, and hurt like a *****. But with all the stuff they have today, I'm sure by Monday it won't be that swollen, and they can inject him with some pain killers pregame on Monday night. I would be shocked if he doesn't give it a go. Anyone that thinks he should wait until March or sit out a minimum of 2 weeks is crazy.
It's going to hurt like hell tonight and tomorrow, and it probably is not going to look very pretty. A lot depends on how much it swells. If it is not swollen much by Monday morning, and they can wrap and tape it enough for him to feel comfortable with it, he will probably play. A lot will depend to though on his pain threshold. Some people can tolerate a lot more than others, but this is likely not his first turned ankle.
What part of "it's not structurally damaged" do people not understand? He can play on it and it won't damage it any more. He might experience pain if he plays on it but he can't make it worse. That's why people are saying there is a very good chance he plays Monday.
He'd better just hang up the sneakers then, if he's worried about spraining his ankle again. Ejim probably should too, because he might hurt his knee again.
I bet if the team doc tells him he won't do any damage to it by playing, he'll be on the court.

A sprained ankle is good to go after you get past the initial pain and get it loosened and warm. He'll forget about it during the game. Go Kane.
They have. They're keeping it as a surprise--'cause then people would want to know about the Final Four wins, too.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. DeAndre Kane will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Some of you guys I don't think have ever sprained an ankle. Of course it isn't strucurally damaged, that doesn't mean he has very good range of motion, has all the strength he needs in it, or can cut off the damn thing. Another thing is if it is really bad it opens him up to hurt something else. It's a waiting game. Time will tell.
