Giannis Antetokounmpo grabbed near his achilles tendon and had to helped off the court in the bucks game vs the Boston Celtics. Is it more than a soleus strain?

Hi Brian as always thanks for making this impossibly fast! I have a question. Is there often some degree of warning before an Achilles tear? Lefkoe mentioned Giannis had had "Achilles tendinitis" in early March. I'm curious why any athlete would take the floor with a condition like that, given the risks. If one does have Achilles soreness, what is a safe amount of time to rest it before returning, to minimize risk of a tear? Thanks again!!!

@@BrianSuttererMD I already know them thangs are 90% hair 10% pale white skin.
All good, Doc Rivers has already impacted their playoff chances.
These are seasoned vets if there is a team that can find a real rhythm it's them and the heat
C'mon now. Adrian Griffin already had them in trouble.
@@David-iv6jeAdrian Griffin: 30-13
Doc Rivers: under .500 with losses to the Wizards, Grizzlies, and 15-loss-streak Raptors all in a row
I'm not saying Griffin is a perfect coach but come on now
@@ChrisCuber123Yeah but the main problem was The Bucks Defense under Griffin because although they had a good record they weren’t really performing all that well and under Doc, they tried something new and that is why they started bad and they improved but then they begin to get injuries to their Big 3 in Lillard, Giannis, and Middleton has caused some adversity in these later weeks. I know the Celtics were resting some guys and were missing some guys but the Bucks played extremely well with The Big 3 and They’ve had some good plays with Middleton back, All I’m saying is The Records don’t show the entire story.
This injury just took all the pressure off of Doc. If they fail, all anyone will remember about this season is that Giannis was hurt just before the playoffs when the Bucks finished as a 2nd or 3rd seed. This injury wipes the slate clean. Doc will sleep well tonight.
When I ruptured my Achilles all I did was step out from the free throw line to grab a rebound. Man did that hurt. Only a 45 min surgery but months of rehab. Totally sucks
In rehab for a torn quad, first few days after surgery absolute hell and boredom
@@Brhoward31 My left achillies exploded whilst playing high school football, CIF championship game, playing middle linebacker, running the defense, etc. Had mild soreness for a few days prior to the game, thinking it was just sore from a hard week of practice, thought nothing of it. Was still sore on game day, so I took an Ibuprofen before warm ups, pain was 86'd, good to go. I was in Ray Lewis mode, mean. We're up 10 at half time. We come out, and the first play, I run to tackle the running back on a draw play, three steps in, I thought I was shot by somebody, my left foot hit the ground and immediately collapsed, I knew what just happened, and I was a combination of sad, heated, and confused. The swelling was horrendous, it was black and blue a day later, and to make matters worse, the imaging showed the tendon completely seperated from my foot, torn off the bone. I was a sophmore, I didn't step onto the grid iron again until my senior year.
@@Brhoward31 pfft image the years following a failed back surgery, can’t even straighten my damn legs.
@@greg9069 I hope they figure it out man!
@@greg9069 that's terrible 😞
I’ve seen Giannis’ leg bend backwards, and he was back in a week. I’m hoping he’ll get back soon 🙏
That was jus a hypertension no contact injury are a red flag
@jaebuudhatv8514 Hypertension? How about hyperextention? Think Giannis's blood-pressure is fine!

knee hypertension. You never heard of it😂

Whenever I see “Brian Sutterer uploaded a new video” as a notification it’s a funny feeling. I love Doctor Brian and love seeing his take on what happens but also he can only make a video when someone gets hurt which is obviously sad and upsetting so it’s a delicate balance of emotions.
lol i know the feeling
@@BrianSuttererMD Hey man love your stuff. Really hoping for a reply here. Embiid had an awkward stop in the game today against Detroit, where he grimaced with his surgically repaired knee. He limped off, and seemed to be fine the rest of the game. Any cause for concern? A reply here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! You're the goat athletic injury analyst!
You just watch his vids and hope it's not your fave athlete.
@@smoothsavage2870I’m currently watching his vid and it’s my favorite athlete 😢
Love this guy
Giannis is the most inspiring and my favorite basketball player. Literally grew up on the streets and now he's here. There is no one more deserving of the fruits of his hard work and modesty. I hope he gets better soon :(
You are correct. In all of the world. Giannis deserves success more than every other human on the planet. You are so right.
Giannis is in the 99.9% percentile of height. At that point it doesn't matter where you came from. The NBA will literally pull guys like that out of villages who have never even seen a basketball and give them everything they need to have the best chance at success in the NBA.
@@willmannnyet he worked harder than all of them and now is better than all the 6’11 guys that are “so good”
@@willmannn lol, that's obvious. What's your point?
Bro, literally. We got Americans thinking they from the streets and live in “poverty” while 10 mins down the street brings them into a city with bright lights and food establishments and all the affordable care they need if they work for it. Some Americans claim “poverty” but wouldn’t even be considered for asylum any where lmao. The irony is real
Thanks once again for the fast upload and update Dr! We appreciate the consistency of the content 🔥
Doc be on the videos with the quickness!!!!! I just love how fun and intriguing he makes anatomy look
Love these videos , such a great explanation on the possibilities of injuries. Always look forward to your take!

Those non contact injuries always scares me…
It’s all Kobe’s fault inspiring these players to workout 24/7 😂
@@rainbowhouse3427kawhi, ben simmons doesnt work out 24/7 but are still injury prone
@@rainbowhouse3427cause Kobe has the dog in him and a bunch of players don’t have and never will have that
@@chadcrandal4707the dog in him still couldnt prevent the Achilles injury
@@TH0UX4N Kobe's Achilles basically ended his career. It's literally what took that dawg out of his game. It's honestly amazing how great KD returned from his Achilles. Has any other player ever blew their achilles and when they returned still played like their prime self?
Thanks Doc. Shaq was killing me 😂
When KD experienced this type of freak injury against the Raps in the finals you'd hardly have known it happened. He was dribbling and just dropped the ball and fell over.
You’re absolutely right! But as soon as it happened I knew immediately what it was. Then they showed it in slow motion and you could see it pop like a rubber band 🤦🏽♂️
KDs injury was very obvious. First off he had a calf injury before he played that game. And there were reports it could’ve been an Achilles injury not a calf injury. Then watching him fall to the floor it was very clearly his Achilles snapping
Kd tore his Achilles this is a calf strain lmao.
Yeah KD went down in the Rockets series and they said It was a calf strain. Giannis doesn’t need to come back at all this season
@@St.souptown They called it calf strain for KD too. He was out from the 2nd round to the finals. Then his Achilles ruptured. This is how Achilles injuries start.
I remember KD had a “minor” leg injury then had Achilles unjury. Hope it’s not the case with Giannis 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wonder if teams are pressuring athletes not to reveal the extent of their injuries and threatening them with consequences if they do. Giannis has been out with "achillies soreness" in the past seasons. For fans who aren't educated in sports medicine they may assume its just cramps from too much exercise.
Usually when you see a sports doc they give some documents on their findings to you. Wonder if the team threatens players not to reveal their injuries or sit out. or maybe they intercept the documents before it can get to the player and asks the doctor to downplay it or lose their contract with the team. In the end the fans will blame the players for "quitting" like they did with KD until they realized it was serious. I remember fans acting like they learned their lessons about assumptions and will never judge a player for sitting out...yet fans are still accusing players of quitting to this day.
@@kylejohns6196pretty sure just my opinion of course, they just wait for the results and making sure before saying something out of emotion and causing unnecessary problems. Worrying solves nothing but making rain into cataclysmic ending event to the planet
This man is incredible. Keep up the good work my guy. Hope it isent a serious injury
Thanks!
its the similar injury to dre greenlaw during the superbowl. it also happen when he started to run back in for defense similar to giannis running back down
That's wen I thought it might not happen for the 9ers #smdh
Thank you for your video and explanation
when you think about it Achilles was fictional so they should rename it the Giannis tendon after a real Greek legend
Calm down
Nah, they should call it the Stavvy tendon because he puts so much strain on his.
Great video. Maybe another one on Jackson Goldstone, a downhill mountainbiker and his ACL and MCL injury?
Thanks for the video!
Does a sonogram have any value in diagnosing any of these kinds of injuries? I could imagine them having a sonogram machine in the locker room.
Yes very helpful
Doc, thanks for the videos! Wondering about your stance on the pitch clock and elbow injuries in Major League pitchers?
Prayers for the Greek Freek🙏
Doc, you are goated, I saw a video about giannis being injured on RUclips, and I knew you had to have put up a video and I looked it up and sure enough 🤌👌👍
Doc just got his scapegoat and is saved once again
I believe you can still differentiate between a soleus vs gastroc injury based on a thorough and directed physical exam. if the pain is very pronounced on ankle motion while the knee is flexed versus when it is extended then you can initially think of a soleus injury.
Didn’t he just come back from a hamstring strain? Could they be connected? Maybe over compensating? 🤔
Whole body is connected 🤡
He has had achillies tendonitis for a while and a summer knee surgery. All the microtears and breakdown in the kinetic chain add up
@@SteveJobIess you triggered by something? 🤔🤣
We had an athlete suffer a Plataris Rupture (and yes, ask the surgeon's PA, I called it) and we had him back, full-go, full strength in ~2 weeks. His pain was approx at that musclo-tendinous junction, but deep. Was a fairly narrow area that the athlete themselves had difficulty locating.
i had that rupture. TBH I know they say its a vestigial muscle but I def lost a lot of my two leg explosiveness after that injury. I was back within 2 weeks in terms of ability to run but my ability to jump off that right leg has never been the same since.
Think I'll wait for the official statement from the team Doc, Doc Rivers
His coaching deserves a malpractice suit...
Every time some pro athlete gets hurt here you are Doc. Easyyy money 😅 but hope he heals up soon (his season is likely over. Theyre not making it past 1st round)
Just curious Brian, why is the calf muscle called the gastrocnemius when "gastro" means "stomach" or "related to the stomach?"
Very insightful
Fell on my hands and knees when I saw the title and thumbnail
So that’s why I saw you doing that! My condolences
The screaming street is always open
getting on all fours for another man is crazy 😭
@@diegocirujeda8892 it’s happens man 🤣😂
Maybe the specific strain they mentioned (Soleus? Solius?) is because it's been a previous or ongoing issue they're aware of?
Like KD with his calf injury prior to the Achilles snap
“calf”
Had a friend that ruptured his Achilles two years in a row playing rec volleyball.
Is the same injury kD got before tearing his Achilles ???
Yup. Exact same one.
I came straight to this channel for a medical update.
As a HEAT fan here, im really feelings for BUCKS fans here, this is really suck man, keep y'all head up guys...
Yeah, because the fans are the ones that are hurt.
Seems similar to the KD injury vs the rockets before that Achilles tear
Reminds me of the kd calf strain prior to rupturing his achilles
Tore my Achilles at 26 years old playing ball recreationally. Never fully regained my explosiveness post surgery and rehab. It’s a terrible injury.
Doc the 🐐
It's the ubiquitous thousand-yard stare that really worries me.
It always starts with the achilles cramp. Hes blessed if it was just a slight pull and that he wasnt in a full sprint like most ppl is when it happens.
I tore my Achilles playing ball on a cut didn’t feel a thing thought I could keep playing but someone told me not to get up the way he sitting feels familiar
As I thought, your analysis was substantially different from Dr. Shaq. 🤣. Thanks for the breakdown!
are there any physical exam manuvers that can differentiate a gastroc and soleus injury
Do you have any good treatment suggestions for a calf MTJ strain/tear?
NO FUCK NO
i think i remember giannis having a hamstring before does it perhaps have something to do with the coming bacl to early from a hamstring injury?
Dr. Sutterer, insofar as you know, would peptides help with this type of injury?
It can be bone spurs on his heel and solidified tissue sandwiching his Achilles tendon. I had it and operated my Achilles tendon last April.
Maybe not the Soleus, but you can't rule out the Phineas or the Ferbeas 😅
Scary looks like kD before his Achilles injury
Hopefully this is not too severe. Not contact injuries are scary. Even with best case scenario, soleus injuries can take a lot of time to heal. I have dealt with some of this as a runner and it not a quick heal.
bro should make like a summary at the end Cooked or nah km tryna become a doctor
The review is fast asf
He’s the goat bruh
Haven’t stopped by and damn doc you aged 😢
As an athlete that has been dealing with calf issues for about 15 years, even if they seem better... they aren't the tissue is never the same. Sometimes a 2 week strain can take 4 weeks. It is just a tricky finicky area.
Greetings from Greece Doc. I hope it doesn't happen the same thing that happened to Durant. The warriors medical stuff said the same about him. that it wasn't a tendon injury and then he raptured it. I am very stressed right now about Giannis. He plays with so much force.. And he will not miss the playoffs no matter where the injury is.
Everytime he landed he was falling on his rear, this showed me in the first minutes there was no stability in the legs, something was off from his landings most of the game until this, go rewatch it and tell me its normal to not land properly so many times.
I think he was forcing it, and it could be a reaction to the body compensating disconfort in another area.
Could you explain to me why teams wouldn't have their players undergo monthly MRIs on their entire body to see earlier evidence of impending issues?
Its Thanasis time!
I’d love to see a video about Trevor Story’s injury.
So you're saying seated calf raises and standing calf raises, essentially work different muscles?
Yes
With hands up in the air and saying "Look im not a doctor but if i was i'd say..." would have been the best initial response to the injury😂
if this is any sort of calf strain, be that soleus, gastroc, or upper achilles, the responsible thing to do would be to bench him for the rest of the season. These are all precursor injuries to achilles rupture. His loading from eccentric position at the point of his injury is particularly concerning
Ngl, thought the caption said "Not a champ" 😅
It would then be untrue
You never know with these things. It looked like the KD injury in 2019 but Klay tore his and was running it right after.
I would assume it’s his Achilles tendon given his injury history.
Can you do a video on why Luka Doncic was bleeding from both knees while playing?
I have a question. I dislocated my patella 2 days ago, and today the doctor told me that’s a definite mpfl tear. Is it not possible that it was just stretched? Did Mahomes also tear his Mpfl?
When I get all my current events from the Doc
People need to be educated about the soleus. It’s the most important muscles to train to avoid Achilles injuries. People need to also understand that a soleus injury can feel like a snap just like with the Achilles. It happened to me playing soccer when planting to kick a ball. Scared the living crap out me thinking it was an Achilles rupture because of the “snap” feel and immediate pain. Aaron Rodgers mentioned after his Achilles injury that he has his soleus popped a few times in his career.
I didnt watch the game. how was he before this injury?
Video on Trevor Story shoulder injury please?
The took an MRI during the game it was reported. That's why they reported a diagnoses so fast
Doc always on point. Wish you were my doctor.
I know that Zion video coming😂 Just here to check
Doc does it matter that he was able to walk on his own from the court and post reval leaving the arena?
This guy knows ball 😮
At best it's a gastroc and that can take months to heal because those muscles are so dense. I can't remember ever hearing anyone tell me or heard any reports of athletes tearing a soleus.
Dr. S is the messenger of death for the NBA
Can Thanasis be an amazing brother/teammate, and donate his Soleus? He doesn't see the court much
I feel like his isnt big enough
😂😂
Doc Rivers playoff curse on full effect aleeady
I hope make it for the finals 2024
Thanks as always for the update Doc. Would be interesting to see if it's some sort of strain like they reported how long they make him rehab and sit. I've seen some studies were age and physical performance were found relevant for recovering for soleous strains and Giannis is in the peak performance of his life, so that's a optimistic sign.
Also let's not forget this man literally bent his knee backwards and was up playing a week later, he's literally built differently.
Doc any tips for bulging disc in back
Physical therapy and more physical therapy and then injection/surgery only if you can’t get better with physical therapy
@@BrianSuttererMD I've been seeing sports med doctors for various things since I got shin splints at 11yo, and that seems to be the solution for every musculoskeletal issue 😂 Only thing that ever differs is the specific exercises and how motivated I am to do them!
Do the injections help? I hear so much about injection side affects
@@KCRookie I know someone that used to get them. It'd help for a bit, not for any significant amount of time. Maybe a few days and then they said it was back to where it was. Not to mention, those injections are painful as hell.
@@WutTheDeuceGaming thanks for chiming in. It's almost not worth it. It's like blowing away dandelions into the wind, it doesnt make sense
Can injuries benefit from time spent in a hyperbaric chambers?
