My first thought on seeing this: Paige, be careful!!!!!!

I keep thinking about Jamie Summer's Bionic Legs.

 

[LouS]

That girl is a PIECE OF WORK. And as Geno likes to say "We have her and you don't" Thank God.

 

[Bone Dog]

Be careful, Paige.

Here's an informative article on ACL recovery. I was surprised to see that 8 months was given as the time until an athlete is back. I thought 12 months was what was typical.

Recovery Time For ACL Surgery: Timeline, Tips, and FAQ’s

Recovery time for ACL surgery can range from 4 to 8 months (or longer), depending on the surgical technique and severity of the injury

www.sportsmd.com

The article also said that a graft could take 2 years to regain it's strength. I think Fudd had a graft in the summer of 2019 which means her knee wasn't fully restored until last summer when she hurt her foot.

The 8 months would put Bueckers back on the roster in mid-February 2023!*


* Just trying to start something. I'm confident she is out the entire season. 8 months may work for a member of a curling team but not in basketball.

Paige seems to be progressing really well from what I can tell. There are some cases where athletes are still on crutches near the 1 month mark post-surgery. Paige hasn’t even hit that milestone yet and is already off her crutches, seemingly out of the bulky brace, and doing TikTok dances! Pretty good sign. I’m still holding out hope (though unlikely and potentially recklessly) that the reason the team didn’t give a recovery timeline is because it’s possible she could be returning to play around postseason time but they don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up nor pressure Paige to rush the recovery process. I do think an 8-month recovery is now typical with modern technology and medicine. Azzi tore her ACL is April 2019 and returned to play in January 2020 before the COVID shutdown happened. So about 8/9 months (plus hers was an ACL+MCL).

Would coming back at the end of the season for a handful of games be worth burning a whole year's eligibility?

Is it worth coming back at less than 100% and messing up the chemistry of an established team?

Can someone why everything in the original video for this thread is backwards? Is that a TikTok thing?

Prudence would suggest taking the year off , resuming resistance training when possible, then returning full throttle next year.
But hey, not my career or body.
And I don’t play a Doctor, even on TV

Considering she already has a COVID year to use if she wants it, I don’t think eligibility is the issue. I don’t think it’d be the right decision to play this season anyways just saying it may be possible given the timeline. She just stated during today’s media availability that she is ruling HERSELF out for the season.

Why are we still on this narrative from last season? Paige is nowhere near a chemistry-buster.

Boy oh boy, TikTok! My favorite medium of all time. The worlds biggest repository of accountability, responsibility, and maturity.

What's cool is that their kids and grandkids are going to have fun with these in 40 years. There are things I did and said at 20 that I'm thankful weren't recorded on some memory bank.

It truly is amazing how much progress has been made in ACL surgery.

One of my HS classmates was a very promising athlete. She tore her ACL in her sophomore year during a basketball game and her career was over just like that. The surgical techniques of the time (late 1970s) restored her ability to walk but that was all. She never played competitive sports again.

No, it's not, and I'm not talking about eligibility. Face it, she is, and should not, even think about coming back this season. This is a serious injury, and some players never recover from it. If she tears it again that might be the end of her career forever. We should not be wasting our time talking about this, or worse yet, hoping that she could come back this year. Let her be the cheer leader and motivational coach during this season, she must take the time to heal completely. We will need her next year to lead us, and to show the pros that she should be the number 1 draft pick. We have a great team as is, lets concentrate on them and have a fabulous year.

Not in the least, but teams have chemistry, roles, and timing that will get altered by the addition of a new player, regardless of her skill and impeccable character. Ever notice how most teams are better at the end of the season than the beginning? That’s one of the reasons why.
