he just had a real serious injury. I’m not a doctor or anything but I remember reading about it. It’s essentially what ended Yao Mings career.
His career is over, even if he ever comes back, and that's a big if, it wont take long till he is injured again, his body is just not made for this level.
Stick a fork in him...we need roster spots filled with actual healthy bodies ...Zach is like a young Festus Ezeli only he doesn't go away
There's still hope for Zach to make the ... Paralympic team. Zach has never had a nickname that suits him particularly well. Maybe because he's been on the court so little, who knows. Anyway, he should inherit Arenas' moniker due to how much free agency interest he's likely to draw: Agent Zero.
Medical retirement has to be on the table. https://www.espn.com/blog/houston-r...s-star-yao-ming-continues-to-have-foot-issues These type of injuries linger ^
Totally agree. You don’t just need re-do surgery multiple times in the same rehab stints. That’s not normal at all.. he’s done
You got a great point. In the last 20 years the only two bigs who stayed healthy and were worth a damn were Z-bo and Aldridge. When you think of the time, effort and money we squandered on Oden, Leonard and Collins it's so damned sad. Especially when you think we could've had Durant, Donovan Mitchell and Khris Middleton instead.
The guy is the Straw man from Wizard of Oz. He has body parts that won't endure a full season. He should be given his money and the team be detached from him. Perhaps he could buy a sports re-hab company to supplement his income. He seems to have had plenty of experience.
Best case scenario is he’s like Zydrunas Ilgauskas—lots of foot injuries earlier in his career, then his body hardens up and the second half of his career he’s able to be healthy. but worrisome that he keeps fracturing the same foot.
Sad day for Zach I'm sure. I hope he can get through this and maybe someday get back on the court. Best of luck to him.
If he keeps fracture the same foot tills me there not fixing it right or there not rehabbing it right.
I'm sad reading these comments. Zach has not been shown to be fragile, injury prone or made of glass. He's unlucky. He has a severe injury at an especially difficult location that could end his otherwise promising career. Such a bummer.
