Meh. The 2nd MRI was plenty. It said sprain im sure it’s a sprain. Again they checked twice. That’s plenty.

My theory is, since this news came out literally right after the players and league boycotted, Lillard knows the season is over so there’s no point to be there no more..

The word "sprain" means nothing, medically. Any ACL or MCL injury can be termed a sprain or tear (because sprains are also tears)--casually, people tend to call lesser ones "sprains" but there's nothing official about that. Until a grade is identified, we haven't gotten any real information on the severity.

The useful information is that it's the MCL and not the ACL. The MCL is generally much less of a problem.

I'm not a doctor, but this is what I've seen doctors say over the years.

I just find it highly a coincidence that he dips out the bubble literally right after the reports came Lebron and some of the key guys want the season done. I’m sure Dame being a key guy himself knows the inevitable is here

I agree with you on this. My gut feeling is this season has just ended.
Combination of things going on here.
 
His fiance just posted a pic of Dame and his son together on a private jet, leaving the bubble.



Happy for that reuinion, but sad for the team and the implications for his injury. Hope they don't find anything serious in the re-evaluation.

I am going to guess that the team doesn't want Dame playing on the sprained knee for at least a month, probably more. If by some miracle we advance to the finals (those start one month and a few days from now) then I guess the team doctors and Dame can decide if he re-enters the bubble. If he's not playing, there would be no reason to be away from his family in that confined space and away from team facilities and doctors to get the best treatment possible. That's all I think their is to this story. I don't expect Dame to play again during the bubble and I do think he will be ready to play at damn near 100% (he could get other dings) whenever the league resumes after the bubble and who knows when that will be.

If we somehow advance to the finals then Dame can just stay home. Something is clearly working.
