Fractured Ankle

[bbwSwish]

So I was outside playing basketball earlier today and I lowered my rim so I could dunk. Well I tried to throw myself an alley oop and after I dunked the ball, I landed wrong on my ankle. I came down hard on it and it was basically twisted to the side. I went to the walk in clinic near my house and they did X-Rays. It's fractured and I got a cast now and crutches. This sucks because a basketball league I just signed up for was starting in the next two weeks.

 

[Mamba]

Haha, I'm sorry

The same thing would have happened if you decided to play D on me.

Either way, get well soon.

 

[Midnight Green]

^Swish trying to dunk? That sucks though man how long you out for?

 

[bbwSwish]

They don't know how severe it is yet. I have to see a podiatrist in the next few days and they'll tell me more.

 

[Bleed Green]

Hope you recover in time for the League.

 

[Legacy]

Good luck with that Swish. I haven't had crutches before, but it looks like it sucks.

 

[NJNetz]

Sorry bro.

Hope it heals fast.

 

[Moo2K4]

That sucks dude. Hope you get well here soon enough.

Thanks guys. Hopefully the podiatrist says I can still play in this league. The first game isn't until March 3rd so I might just miss the first couple weeks of practice depending on how severe it is.

Sounds like you need to pick up some pointers from Umair about dunking on a 7ft ring

I was pleasantley surprised to open this topic and see that you did it trying to dunk on a lowered ring, I thought for sure it was going to be due to too much 'Chicken Noodle Soup'

Haha, getting hurt dunking on a lowered rim is still less humiliating than dancing like that in a Kidz Bop commercial.

 

[P.A.P.]

Man that sucks. Last year in June I broke my left wrist when I fell after a dunk outdoors. Had a cast on for 5 weeks.

Get well soon.

Lol, maybe he "chicken noodled" all the way to hitting the "soda on the side"

Get well Swish,

At least a fractured ankle doesn't prevent you from interviewing people if the opportunity arises.

 

[Iggy]

Get well Swish. Hopefully you don't miss too much of your league. Make sure you don't play when if the doctor tells you not to; you don't wanna injure it even more.

Kind of off-topic, but since we're talking about injuries;
Lately I've been having tons of practices and games cause' I'm on my Junior High Senior team and a Community league team. And I've been having practices and games almost everyday, and I think I've strained my calves or something. Theres a tingly but tense feeling in my calve area and when I stand up straight, my legs get wobbly. Does anyone know what to do?

Same thing happens to me when i work out on my calves hard at the gym. Just try stretching alot and resting them at times.

 

[Iggy]

Alright, I'll be sure to ask my coach tomorrow about any calve stretches he knows.

 

[J_Ray]

This must suck man, I sprained my ankle pretty severe earlier in the school year before B-Ball and it still bothers me. I'm glad I didn't fracture it like you, sounds like it's a lot more painful because you have to actually can't comeback early and have to wait a really long time. Anyways, hope you get well soon....

 

[Ming637]

At least it wasn't as bad as Tony Allen's, lol.

 

[bbwSwish]

Well I went to the podiatrist today and after looking closer at the X-Rays and examining my foot, he said the injury is minor and I should be out of the cast in two weeks. I asked him if I'd be able to play in the league and he said I'll be able to start playing again in about four weeks. Since the first game isn't until March 3rd, I should be good to go. I was so relieved and I'm just glad it isn't serious.

 

[Ming637]

I thought the league was starting in the next two weeks?

 

[bbwSwish]

Practice is starting but the games don't start until early March. I might miss the first week or two of practice but I'll be ready to go when it counts.

If you cant dunk on a 7ft ring properly, are you sure you should even be out on the court?

It was 9 feet and I can still beat you anyday.

Anyway Swish just take it easy.
