You really are on it. Love your professionalism and show me style of teaching. That from a retired educator (30 years) and a daughter in her third year of surgical residency- she loves your channel too as she is a sports nut like her dad. We're looking forward to you covering cycling injuries soon:).

I didn’t want to accept this news was true, but when Dr. Sutterer posts you know it’s real 😔😔😔

Dr. Brian needs to have his own segment on the NFL Today.

Dr. Sutterer: “ Welcome back, everybody. I’m doctor Brian Sutterer.”

Me: Yep doc. I just watched Halliburton video about 20 minutes ago. 😂

The way he throws his force into drives to the rim and then falls to the floor it seems very likely he has prior shoulder damages for years now.

Doc had his finger on the trigger with this upload

I also had a SLAP injury from a single time accidental play, not all injuries that need surgery have to be repeated hits/dislocations. In my case I jumped for a loose ball, a guy landed on the back part of my shoulder and another was pressing on the front part while I was reaching extended for the ball (diving ala Rodman). That did it, overextending my arm, while being pressed bothsides. Very annoying injury. There is no going around surgery, rehab alone will do little to nothing to help. Surgery is rather painful, rehab is not relatively easy going. I was only in the mind set to return to play basketball, thats what kept me going. I did return to play at a high level, but I never have felt loose or with a certain stop/movement limitation pre injury. That being said, my peak at basketball was well after the injury, and I eventually could train on every aspect, weights, intense basketball drills, etc. so I don't consider it an injury that will make someone like Morant lower his level. Hopefully there are newer techniques and rehab methods.

Get well soon Ja. You'll bounce back 💪🏾💯

Thanks for the info doc once again ...

I wonder if this has anything with the way he dunks the ball. He always clocks back his arm when he dunks. It would suck if he would not be able to dunk the ball like that anymore. That’s what make him so exciting to watch.

I had a SLAP tear...tell u what the rehab was no joke and its still not 100% almost 2-3 years later i feel and still deal with weakness and it getting tight

[jfscreen]

Any comment/perspective on the cumulative stress on the shoulder from repetitive violent dunks (practice, warmups, games, other?) JM creates a lot of force with his acceleration and elevation - more than most.

This happened to Pascal Siakam in the 20/21 season when the Raptors were stuck in Tampa btw. Whole recovery process was about 5 months but he was able to return to form. I'm not worried long term about such an injury unless it repeats.

I’m 9 months post posterior shoulder stabilization surgery for labral tear/ instability and am also an overhead athlete (swimmer) and I will say that coming back from this surgery has been really hard like im just now feeling like im starting to approach my old form.

[hardyea]

Had this surgery back in 2021 and it took around 10 months to be flexible and over a year and a half to feel normal.

I think He got injured in the Lakers game a couple of days ago. The injury bug hit us hard this season.(Memphis grizzlies)😢

[OmarScruggs]

Same injury i had from throwing the Javelin. Lived 10 years with it before i got i felt it everyday

[BlaineDP]

I tore my labrum from the 10 to 2 o'clock position from baseball pitching. I literally heard it tear after I let go of a pitch. My experience is like all of the aforementioned...constant dull ache/pain every day, Physical Therapy didn't help, instability remained ect...only surgery can fix it. It's literally been 20 years since my sugery and I play baseball every summer and still pitch and the surgery (they used 2 anchors) has held up just fine. It'll take nearly a year before he can come back but he'll be 100% afterwards and probably come back better than ever.

Just had this surgery today. Constant shoulder subluxation.
