Any update on MKG?

Has anyone heard an update on MKG and his status or timetable for return?

Also, can anyone explain what exactly a stress reaction is and its severity?

It's a hairline fracture in a bone. Severity? Relatively minor but it can become severe if not properly treated. Just needs rest.

I'm sure you saw Kevin Ware's leg snap in half versus Duke. That's what happens when a stress fracture gives out. Same thing with Julius Randle. Scary thoughts because it's pretty easy to go undetected.

So, yeah, it's a pretty non-significant injury as long as you allow it proper time to heal. Otherwise it will keep getting worse until something breaks.

What causes it? No clue. I'm sure the excessive running and jumping on hardwood floors by oversized men has something to do with it. Bones aren't made to take that abuse.

Yeah, it sucks that MKG is out because of something so minor. But I'd rather him rest a few weeks and let it heal than potentially breaking his foot and missing months.

Preciate the detail. I really hate it for MKG as he had a lot to prove before the fall in NY and now this.

Sounds legit... do I know anything about it? No but I'll take your word for it.

 

Hope he gets right soon. We need to start stringing some wins together.

I don't know that much about it either. I just know that a stress reaction/fracture is a similar injury. Common sense says that you need time and rest to let it heal or you risk pushing the fracture to a literal breaking point.

Hopefully it isn't something that will linger. MKG gets hurt enough from his style of play without adding these types of things. It sucks because he looked like Scottie Pippen the first 3 games. He's still so young and full of upside.

Upside is one thing but to actually improve, as he has done, is something you have to love. He's a baller and I'm very glad he's on our team. You need to post more man. This forum could use a little more intelligent and positive discussion.

He's always had a relentless motor to match his ability and potential, which is why I loved the pick. Worst case you get a 15+ year SF who is a great defender. If he reaches his potential and continues to improve his offense he will be a All-Star.

I stay away for the most part. There's usually too much stupid in here.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
