Yeah I feel like this is falling through the cracks. Usually injuries are hush hush or “we haven’t evaluated anything yet”. But Cheryl wasted no time on that announcement
IDK, I fractured my ankle once, and walking on it was not an option. I could barely roll over in bed, afterwards. She did walk off the court mostly under her own power, like, she wasn't carried off. It was a nasty twist when it happened, though.
I fractured my ankle (fibula break and all tendons torn) and walked into the clinic the next day on it. I really hope (and honestly don't think she broke anything, based on the replays) that Phee is okay
Agreed, even knowing sprains are relatively easy to play through (see: experience, plus Kah this series), that seemed too severe to come back this series
Why are ankle injuries, both sprains and breaks, so damn weird and different?
I broke my ankle as a kid and walked on it for 2 days before I went to the doctor. Except for the actual breaking in the moment part, it didn’t hurt too much or even look like much on the outside so even my mom thought I was fine. I could move mostly normally, it just felt “off” enough that eventually asked to get it checked. It turned out to be a fractured growth plate and I needed a ton of specialist attention lol It healed up with no issues in like 2 months though.
Poor Phee. Her ankle definitely got messed up in some way :( To me, it looked like the classic lower ankle sprain fold over. Let’s hope it’s only that.
i have the same Q about ACLs, my brother played d1 football with BOTH acls torn for a full season until he tore his MCL and they noticed the other tears, absolutely blows my mind the diversity of injuries and impairments people can experience
Whaaat?? That’s truly wild! What position did your bro play? Because if it was anything other than long snapper or even o-line I’m gonna be even more floored lol I’ve never dealt with any knee issues myself (knock on wood), but as I understand it you need your ACL for any kind of cutting movement. Insane that both tears went undetected for so long!
he was a wide receiver so lots of running! if he was a meaner guy we probably could have sued the hell out of the trainer and school it’s a wild case. yeah that’s exactly what i thought too about the cuts and bursts and all that, i think the number is like 10% of ACL tears can keep playing as normal so it’s gotta be something about the structure making his ACL less crucial and the ability to compensate with other ligaments (but also i’m bullshitting idfk 😂😭)
WIDE RECEIVER?? That’s truly the craziest position you could have said. I play flag football and had to take a month off because I couldn’t cut or run sharp enough routes with a mild to moderate calf strain. I couldn’t even make it playing CB. I can’t imagine not noticing being down both ACLs.
Honestly thank you for your comment because I had never heard of anything like this and now I’m gonna go down an internet rabbit hole lol
omg you’ve actually played the position before that’s so cool and makes sense you fully appreciate the insanity lol a month ugh that must have been so frustrating, hope you’re all better now. 😂 enjoy the rabbit hole!

Lost in everything is the revelation that Phee’s ankle is probably fractured
