Miller out 4-6 weeks with a broken leg

[DocHolliday]

Okay I have to ask...how do you break your fibula going for a lay up? Ah well...it's amazing, if anyone had told me at the beginning of this season that all of these things were going to happen I would have thought they were crazy...ya gotta love the NBA!!!

First off it's not broken. It's a fracture. Which means the bone is not in 2. Secondly they think it was already a nagging injury. The obviously has had strain on it, and the impact from coming down from the lay up was the straw that broke the camels back. Well, at least fractured it.

Unfortunately, the "nagging injury" was on the OTHER leg. The fracture was on the "good leg."

I'm listening the PGPT and they are speculating that on the good leg he must have had an injury that was already started. Not something he would no about, but a bone that was strained already. Much similar to how Webb tore up his knee. He went up for a little hop for that ball, no one around, no one bumped him, but whne he came down it was all over. That didn't happen JUST from that little hop, it was on the way.

Ah, okay. Cool. Thanks for the additional information. And actually I'm interested in hearing that since I posted somewhat a similar theory earlier today...in response to someone saying this had to be the trainer's fault.

Yeah I don't think you can blame that on a trainer. I mean the jump you make to shoot a lay up is not enough to fracture a fibula. You'd have to alnd really interestingly, and maybe he did, but that would be surprising. I'd go with that the leg was already there, it was just a matter of time scenario.

First off, I'm not blaming this on the trainer, but and maybe im not sure what their exact job is, but isnt part of it specialize around monitoring the health of the players? If it was just a freak accident, then you cant blame anyone, but if there were an injury to the other leg, it shouldnt have gone undetected. I mean, its the job of the trainer to make sure that their players dont go overboard and to avoid this kind of things.

You're not sure what their job is but you're trying to say they should make sure players don't go overboard?

Sorry, but your credibility just sunk to zero, at least in this regard. Do some research about trainers.

lol, I'm in the medical profession, but not sport medicine so i cant say i know exactly what they do. Better yet, what exactly are they responsible for in their job? Are they like those trainers at the gym where they just help you maximize your potential? or are they also doctors?
