What I mean is are there any possible treatments available while he’s playing but resting on the bench? Some kind of stretching or exercises to scaffold the ankle through the rest of the game?

I’m really curious about Steph’s ankle now. He never had any serious ankle problems in college (never followed his career though), and I don’t remember him having ankle issues while playing for Nelly.

Sadly

Through actual game.

After seeing the clip at which these ankle injuries occur/reoccur, I have little faith in his ankles at all. If he’s shut down now (and maybe opts for another surgery), it’s easier to trade him to another team in the offseason by billing his ankles as “fixed” and “rested” than if we were tp bring him back soon only to watch him sprain the ankle a few more times on the way to pushing us nearer to a .500 and further from our top-7 protected pick.

In my mind, bringing him back only brings us the worst of both worlds: mediocre record (aka – no pick, no playoffs) and the potential for further injury and lower trade value. Where’s the upside?

But we don’t want to make the playoffs with this group as we’d lose our draft pick and management would also then think they have a good thing going and wouldn’t make the necessary changes to make us a powerhouse. Losing enough to retain the pick and to show the management what needs to be changed would be ideal.
