    I had a high ankle sprain over the summer and couldn't put any sort of pressure about a week. On top of that, I didn't get full movement back in it for another month and a half. Let's hope this is not Tracy's case.

    I read from 2-3 weeks up to 6 months to heal. Knowing the rate at which T-Mac usually recovers from injury lets pray that it is closer to the 2-3 week prognosis. I say he is out until All-Star Break, which is fine that will give his knee additional time to rehab and get stronger.

    Nothing really to hate on about - it's a legit injury that he couldn't help.

    Hopefully it's just minor and he can be back before or right after the ASG.

    If it's a major one, and I doubt it is based on the initial report, we'd be looking at 6 weeks before he could go again (at half speed).

    Yeah, no worries. McGrady is a quick healer.

    Severity is everything. And the thing about it is, ligaments don't usually ever heal back to 100%. Ask anyone that had a severe sprain (vs a strain or a turned ankle) - it's why some people have to learn to live with "a bad ankle".

    But again, this doesn't sound like a severe sprain based on McGrady's comments.

    Weird. Normally I would image that people who step on other people's feet will get his ankle sprained.

    On another thought, we are REALLY lucky not both Yao and Tmac's ankle got all sprained.

    God damnit Yao...the amount of injuries this team has is ridiculous. Especially, T-Mac.

    It's unfair. Or maybe it is fair somehow I guess, because if we didnt have any injuries, it would be unfair for everyone else.
