The Rodney Hood injury update thread

[wizenheimer]

I hyper-extended my knee a few years ago and was gimpy for 10 days. Of course, I'm an old slob, not a professional athlete. But I'd be amazed if he was ready to play by Tuesday...that's less than 48 hours from now

If KD and Boogie are back, that puts Iggy on their bench again. They will run an 8 man rotation of Curry, Klay, KD, Donkey, Boogie, Livingston, Iggy, and Looney.

I hope boogie comes back he'll be a positive for us, just like Westbrook.

If Durant is healthy it's going to be very tough, but his injury could maybe keep him out of first two games.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Hyper extension is the early prognosis. That's a different kind of injury. Usually looks real bad, but it may be possible, if that IS the injury, to be back by the 1st home game. We need Rodney for sure.

Hyper extension could be fine in a day or a sprain that keeps him out weeks.

Ice should shrink the ligaments or tendons back to normal if it's just inflamed from the stretching out which is what I assume it is...

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Shaq is an idiot. On the subject of Hood's injury, he said Rodney needs to "man up". Fuck that piece of shit.

Says the guy who missed how many games due to injury?

 

[dviss1]

Is he even healthy?

IDGAF what the doctors said.

I'd bet money his Achilles is torn.

How the HELL are theses guys going to guard us?

(Love you man)

Damn you beat me to it.
Props.

 

[Lanny]

How do we guard KD? With Zach? Aminu? Moe? Hood can't get near KD.
It would be so sweet if we could beat these Warriors.
I'm so proud of CJ's game.

Aminu

Give Shaq a break. He had toe pain.

No, really, give Shaq a break

 

[Natebishop3]

I would feel a lot better about our chances if Kanter and Hood were healthy.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Turner/Aminu/Mo

And Tanya

Tanya Harding was innocent! She knew nothing! We need Jeff....

 

[Binx]

Hood is good for game 1.... Great News.

Where did you hear this?

What's the latest on Hood?

 

[joeBlazers]

Can I see some Skal and Babyface this round?

Can I see some Skal and Babyface this round?

If we do, it most likely means we're getting blown out.

So, I hope not.

I saw someone saying that an MRI can't tell if there's a meniscus tear. Not sure how true that is.

That's mostly nonsense with a bit of truth.

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is often used to diagnose meniscal injuries. The meniscus shows up as black on the MRI. Any tears appear as white lines. An MRI is 70 to 90 percent accurate in identifying whether the meniscus has been torn and how badly. However, meniscus tears do not always appear on MRIs.

I think they are confused with an x-ray.

TL; DR
Hood, who hopes to be ready for the outset of training camp before the next campaign tips off.

Yeah, I also just realized this is the Rodney Hood injury thread for when he had a bum knee in the playoffs. Oops.

It took 4 different MRI's to find my meniscus tear when I had my big injury in college.
So it's true and not true.

Okay, how long ago was this though?

Due to how a meniscus behaves it doesn't have to do with medical improvements.

Imagine it like a flap of skin from a blister.
On an MRI this flap of skin can look perfectly normal. Yet it can cause swelling, pain, popping and more.
Meniscus is one of the few muscle injuries an MRI can miss.
