    CJ out makes it easier to double team Dame.

    If an MCL injury:

    Recovery times differ depending on the severity of the injury: A minor, or grade 1,MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports. A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.

    A torn miniscus or MCL could be good news.

    Besides without looking it up how often do basketball players tear their MCL and nothing else? I know sprains happen a lot to the MCL, which is my guess of what it is. Recovery time for that is usually 2-8 weeks depending on the severity.

    This is why I stay off Twitter. And I was stupid enough to fall for it.

    From what I saw it did look like a tendon or ligament sprain.

    There is a huge difference between people who want to trade CJ, people who want CJ to use his skills more as a playmaker than a scorer, and a small percentage that just want him gone.

    Please don't lump all 3 together. I'm guessing even the group that firmly wants CJ off the team didn't want him injured after the trade deadline and possibly killing his value this summer. The Blazers haven't had to deal with many serious injuries lately so this one would be pretty devastating.

    More info on NBA players and MCL injuries

    Grade II MCL Sprain Data: How long NBA players have missed with Steph Curry's injury
    [​IMG]
    GRADE 2 TEARS

    Matthew Dellavedova: 34 Days

    Zach Randolph (outlier): 75 Days

    Rudy Gobert: 38 Days

    Nene: 45 Days

    Marc Gasol: 53 Days

    Quincy Pondexter: 43 Days

    Kevin Durant: 39 Days

    Carl Landry: 49 Days

    Greg Stiemsma: 48 Days

    Average Days Missed: 43.6 (or 47.1 if I hadn't removed Zach Randolph's injury as an outlier)

    That would take Steph through til the 6th of May

    14th of April is the start of playoffs

    28th of April is the earliest the conference semi-finals can begin

    13th of May is the earliest the conference finals can begin

    All days are measured inclusively from date of injury to date of return and I've made no effort to check if there were any aggravations during recoveries or delayed returns due to being ready to return during all star break or anything like that. I linked the basketball reference game logs instead of the articles which state the injuries were in fact reported as grade II injuries but you can find those articles pretty easily by googling the players name and mcl sprain if you want to check. With there only being 3 grades of sprain there is clearly a lot of variation inside grade 2, so this is by no means conclusive.

    GRADE 1 TEARS

    Steph Curry: 15 days

    Rudy Gobert: 35 Days

    Jeff Teague: 14 Days

    Keith Bogans: 21 Days

    Kyle Anderson: 17 Days

    I know it's not funny but I pictured about 87 of us simultaneously googling what the fuck a popliteous sprain is and laughed out loud.

    Seriously I've never heard of that.
