The NBA had already convened a panel of experts to study the injuries of the Achilis tendon. Indiana star Tieres haliburton He broke in game 7 of the NBA final, he said on Wednesday night by Commissioner Adam Silver.
This season had seven known Akilies injuries in the league – Pesters gave James Visman and forwarded Isaiah jackson, new Orleans guard Dejoute dead And Miami guard Drew Smith He was in a regular season, and Bostan‘S Jayson tatam, Milwuki‘S Damian lillard And Heliberton was hurt in the playoffs.
Silver, while speaking to ESPN as part of its NBA draft coverage, said that there was no one in the NBA in the previous season.
Silver said on telecast, “We had already called a panel of experts before the most recent breakdown of Tieres.” “We had seven this year. We had zero in accurate equal conditions last year. What we have done in a season is four.”
Injuries have caused a question that has come more and more in recent years: is the NBA season too long? Silver does not believe that this is the case, and wonder the way young players train and how difficult the NBA players are, they are putting a lot of stress on the bodies.
“When we look back in the last 10 years, Achills suffered most of the injuries before the all-star break,” Silver said. “So, it is not clear that this is the number of sports. And as you know, modern NBA players, even when they are never playing games in summer, they are working more difficult during the season when they play three games a week.”
Heliberton hurt in the first quarter of game 7, one where Indiana lost Oklahoma CityA day later, after performing surgery, Heliberton said that he does not regret the choice of playing through a stressful calf – some suspects may have played a role in the injury of Akilis.
Silver stated that the league is using artificial intelligence in its search for clues about why this season hurt even this season.
“I hope that looking at more data, looking at the pattern, this is an area where AI – people are talking about how to change so many areas – the ability to swallow all videos of every game with AI to watch all the videos of a player to see if you could find out some patterns that we didn’t realize that we had an Akil’s injury to the injury,” said the silver. “We are taking it very seriously.”
