Don't fight! The 25-26 season may be reimbursed! Another supergiant in the NBA has fallen

There are no miracles,Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon and has undergone successful repair surgery.

Medical expert Stotts said Tatum is the sixth NBA player to suffer an Achilles tendon injury this season, the first five being Daron Holmes II, Wiseman, Isaiah Jackson, Murray and Lillard, a record high since the 14-15 season.

According to statistics, the average recovery time of NBA players from Achilles tendon tears is about 10 months, and the return rate is nearly 80%, but only 27% return to the pre-injury level.Shams reported on Tatum's injury, claiming that he could miss at least a year......

In this way, there is a high probability that Tatum will be fully reimbursed for the 25-26 season in advance.

Fortunately, Tatum not only won the championship last summer, but also signed a five-year, $314 million (the largest contract in history) early contract extension, and all the honor money has been received, if there is any regret, it is that he did not win MVP and FMVP.

The reason why Tatum suffered a devastating Achilles tendon rupture injury at the age of only 27 is inseparable from his extremely high attendance rate in the past, and since entering the NBA in 17, he has played the most regular season + playoff games in the league in the same period, reaching 706 games, and has never missed the playoffs in his career.

Fortunately, Tatum is still about 28 years old after returning from injury, still in the golden age of basketball players, and is expected to continue to play at a supergiant level, perhaps with Durant who also ruptured his Achilles tendon in 19 to learn from the recovery experience, the latter still maintains at least 26+ points per game per season after his return, and 29.9 points per game in the 21-22 season.

Of course, not everyone can become Durant, KD, who can still kill all sides after a ruptured Achilles tendon, seems to be unique in NBA history, which can be called a medical miracle, mainly because he has a historic level of shooting ability to offset the decline in athletic level, and Tatum does not have such a level.

What else can be said? Wishing Tatum a speedy recovery!
