I tend to like Sutterer’s vids and feel like he gives a pretty even keel analysis of all the injuries I’ve seen him review.

I feel like when he was drawing some of those lines showing the straight line your normal extended range would be, he was like going down the front of the upper leg and back of the lower leg which exacerbated the perceived degree of hyperextension. It wasn’t fricking 45° beyond standard limit. That’s insane that’s a DESTROYED knee. Plus, there is usually a couple degrees beyond 180° that most people’s knees can lock out to normally.

That’s all to say, there well could be damage as everyone and every injury is unique and lesser extensions have cause more harm than more extreme extensions. We’ll just have to wait for results, but I did feel like this extension was slightly exaggerated in the video.

I don’t think I got that at all from the video. He talked about even though the leg extended- the patella and circular part of knee looked fine- which is key in regards to the ligaments(ACL, MCL and PCL). Giannis and Paul George have had very similar injuries and had no ligament damage. In regards the leg extension lot of that is dependent on flexibility due to the player as well. There was a video of Collins telling Willie that it was hyperextension. If it was an ACL they could test that immediately without MRI. There definitely could be some bruising but Im thinking that it’s hyperextension with bone bruising and reevaluated in 2 weeks. For the first time we would love to hear “2 weeks.”
