Knicks · KP looking like he’s going to come back STRONGER! (page 2)

You mean cardio from basketball? Then it's just going to come off again.

Yes, but as he gets older, this effect will be less with every year.

OK but that's typically off-set by other drawbacks to aging (slower on the court, more injury, slower injury recovery).

For those who had ACL surgery: is what KP doing normal?
I know social media can distort things so before I gush about KP wolverine like healing I have no idea if I should be impressed with what he is doing or not.

I don't think shooting FT's is norm for most at 6 weeks, usually you are still with crutches. I don't think impressed is the right word, definitely out of norm. Also strange that you can't see the usual ACL brace but maybe it's blending with the tights

Generally we know zero details, but not having any meniscus damage was the best news out of this.

What ? Didn't you saw him in walking in Garden previous game? He is walking without crutches for 2 weeks now. I don't see the problem why he cant stand and shoot free throws

It probably cuts off a month of recovery alone. It's possible he's back very early in the regular season. I'm guessing early Dec.

With PRP and better surgical techniques it seem ACLs are no longer what they use to be. The turn around time has benn reduced from a year to 8-10 months just get on the floor to practice hard. Amazing it’s come so far since the BK days.

Actually, from what little I've read, the research supporting PRP is weak

No, PRP is not weak. You can always find some out there trying to disprove something.

Just wikipedia but it looks like every review of the research studies says the evidence is poor for PRP
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet-r...

can't wait for a full year of speculating on 30 second KP vids and pics

has anyone been watching Zach Levine? He's probly our best indicator of how an athletic freak can recover from an ACL injury in the modern age

KP's b.ball IQ as a big man in the NBA are still a work in progress (a PROJECT)!!!
Three years of watching TIRED-KP no winning effort 4th quarter performance does not have me excited whenever he return. KP mean Timid !!!

from my ACL surgery when it happened a few years ago...surgery on Friday morning - arrival at home Friday afternoon
weekend 1 - zero strength in knee, bandage icing to prevent clotting, need assistance to do anything except laying flat on back.
lets say week 1 - monday morning follow up with doc and changing of bandages, still no strength, but able to use crutches to get around, able to use restroom with difficulty using crutches to get around, thigh to ankle brace to prevent knee from bending and being able to
week 2 - crutches are a joy and ability to go up and down stairs, ability to stand but not walk without crutches
week 3 - same as week 2
week 4 - ability to ditch the crutches (more hindrance than joy) for short walks from bed to bathroom from couch to kitchen, making sure not to turn knee at any point, still using crutches for longer walks
after 1 month from surgery - ability to drive myself to any distances (surgery on left knee), walk without crutches
week 3,4 - orthopaedic surgeon provided very slow low risk home exercises, damn you crutches!
week 5,6 - physio start and real strength building, so sick n tired of these crutches for stairs, at least dont need them for walking small distances.
week 7 - advanced physio
week 8 - advanced physio, no more crutches!
week 9-12 - low impact and low weight exercises at gym, physio complete
week 13-26 - jumping and running exercises included in addition to strength building, still fear of turning knee
week 27-45 - higher weight exercises to build overall leg strength, sometimes with and sometimes without knee brace, plus more freedom in knee activity, including bow-chiki-wow-wow lol
week 46 onward - full freedom in knee activity and real testing against other players, gradually increasing turning movement and frequency.
week 56 - back to full strength.

hope that sheds light on KP's progress...it's normal IMHO, especially considering the level of support a pro athlete receives versus someone like me.
