Such an important glue player. He's the Draymond Green of PGs. |
He really is, but for a Draymond Green to be really effective he needs a super team of scorers and shooters around him. I can't wait to see what Lonzo will look like once we (or other team) manages to give him that.
He totally has that early 2000's Jason Kidd kind of game in him, where a well-built team around Kidd made them get to two finals in the lowly East.

I think he's a future star guard, but he's definitely injury prone and takes a long time to heal. |

Grade 3 ankle sprain is a serious injury. 6 weeks minimum- not sure where this long time to heal thing is coming from.

| They need to find a way to injury-proof him (nutrition, strength training, etc). We need him for the long haul. |

Kankle injuries are part of the game.
As long as it's not reoccurring he should get a pass.
If he's traded for someone like AD in the future - imo both teams will benefit.
He's got game |

From people that need something to complain about Lonzo.

Not a coincidence as we ramp up for post all-star break, Lonzo is missing the games for a 2nd straight season and Embiid is out again to be re-evaluated in 1 week.
Can’t teach availability. |

| He just needs to be healthy for the offseason. He needs to work on that damn jumper and he really couldn’t do much due to injury this last offseason. |

I looked at some of his other tweets, and he seems a bit odd. Anyway, I wouldn't take any diagnosis seriously -- whether from a doctor or just random person on the internet -- if they have not examined Ball and seen his MRI. |

looks like he claims to be an attorney and chiropractor? not sure how either would qualify him for an expert opinion on Ball's injury. |

Hardly.
Has he treated Lonzo's leg or even seen X-Ray pictures? No. And he does not seem to be a M.D.

I don't know who this guy is, but if Lonzo really had a complete tear of the talofibular ligament, then he really is not going to make it back for the regular season and he's gonna take a while stabilizing that ankle afterwards.

Well he was injured around Jan 20 so the original timeline of 4-6 weeks would put him back around early march.
But if he really did completely tear the ligament, I'd expect him to be back no earlier than 8 weeks at the very least, and he's shown to be a slow healer.
That said, if by then we're out of playoff contention, he could very well be done for the season in fact.

I'm not an MD and reading about Lonzo's injury around the internet, it's funny there are (supposedly) accredited people/sites saying a Grade 3 is from 75% to 100% of ligament tear and others saying it's a complete tear, only. I don't know where this difference comes from, but at this point, I won't trust anyone who didn't see the MRIs.
In my non-specialist mind, having a 75% tear or a 100% tear is a huge difference, when it comes to healing.

A chiropractor who posts about global warming being a fraud? Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the guy is a moron and doesn't know anything about anything. |

I don't have a spreadsheet or anything, but I'm pretty sure his MCL sprain last season took him a while to recover from, as well as his meniscus thing this past offseason.
