Ok. So everyone understand that I am a troublemaker and a glass "half full" guy. So take this with a grain of salt.
But there are a couple of wild things about this Zion injury. First of all, K rarely gets real specific on injury information. Yet he comes out and tells everyone that he has a grade 1 sprain.
Also, by all reports, I cannot find that he got an MRI? To assess the damage. So please correct me if someone knows different.
So how can you diagnose a grade 1 sprain without an MRI? Yes you can examine the knee, but some damage can be hard to identify without the gold standard.
So, why don't you get an MRI? Two reasons. You have a very minor injury or your injury could be bad and you don't want to know what the MRI will show you.
Now that I have posted all this - its all speculation for sure - I am hoping that Zion has a minor injury and they are being extra cautious.
Yup - thats my story and I am sticking with it.
