Senior year hs-surgery; freshman yr college-surgery; rookie year NBA surgery; between 2nd-3rd year NBA surgery. I am not an MD, but i stayed in a Holiday Inn recently
All bad
Zion didn’t have surgery in college
@@DynamicGuy123 Then just three....dude is made of granite
@@pullt Nah
Solid timing!! I just had a lineman come in after getting stomped, with positive fracture tests about 5 minutes before you released this. Your bio anatomy explanation was much better than trying to explain with the circa 1970’s anatomy poster I inherited with this AT room! You rock, Doc!
It doesn't help that he refuses to work with the Pelicans' trainers or hire a nutritionist just to train with his step dad and eat his mom's food. He's a professional, he's supposed to do things differently now..
Bruh if you had Mamaw’s seafood gumbo you wouldn’t hire a nutritionist either
He has the money and help around him to never even have to think about nutrition. Every meal for what he needs could just be placed in front of him. The fact that he doesn't take advantage of those opportunities shows how stupid he and any other athlete in his position are.
@@colinvazquez5643 haha true man doesn't mean its the best for his performance though!
Whatever he's been eating has been working clearly
@@skinnytimmy1 if it's working like this just imagine how much better he'd be if he really took care of himself
the fact that doc is always on the lookout for injuries is an example of dedication
Ok Bobby
@J Escorpizo Always on the lookout? Star players getting injured is literal headline news. Your favorite news outlet CNN even reported on it.
Dedication bro really ? 🤦🏾♂️
🤣
Didn't even know he had this injury… looks like Doc is going my news source on injuries as well as explanations from now on.
Doc does a great job at what he does, but it's not like he's the news source for these things.
I know right! I have not seen anything about this until now!
If you're impressed with this, check out the same doc on Zion and knees: called the knee injury the day before Zion blew it out! Quite impressive.
Check out the prediction on 10/18/19: ruclips.net/video/HGRnMIRCtDU/видео.html
And the injury on 1-0/19/19: ruclips.net/video/HC3i2YNJHic/видео.html
Uncanny!
4:08 I believe that would be Zion's actual face while watching this video 😂
When you are as explosive as Zion and you play a sport that involves running around....that extra weight can really fuck with your feet and legs.
Yeahk and not just that. You run and jump in other sports like football, but in basketball you're slapping your feet on hardwood over and over. There's no give. After years that's a lot of repetitive stress on the old foot bones.
He needs to lose weight… or change his gameplay if he wants to extens his career beyond 5 seasons.
Zion’s career is already done imo. Nothing changed in the past 2 years and he doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes. He definitely seems like he’s not staying on the court for 30 minutes every game too…..
@@diogorodrigues10 I wouldn't call it over just yet, but with the surgeries and hard landings, I thought the team that drafts him has to pray. The exploding shoe was a funny highlight, but when you land hard enough to do that, just think how much down force that is. Meaning his feet, ankles, knees, and hips absorb that every time down the floor.
He can absorb all that stuff with his mommas cooking 🤣🤣🤣 he secured the bag already so its all good in da hood 🤑🤑🤑 maybe he can switch to wrestling. Suits his body more.
Thanks doc . Amazing presentation as always I learned something new.
Awesome video man! My girlfriend actually just broke her 5th metatarsal bone in her foot so seeing this video is awesome! I think her fracture is in zone 2 but she’s been in a boot for 10 weeks now? Not sure about that one
2 big injuries in his first 2 seasons. How concerned are you going forward?
I think he's fine. He just has a high work ethic and his body couldn't keep up.
He needs to drop a little weight and hire a nutritionist instead of eating his mom's food constantly
@@maxh276 bro dont do him dirty like that XD
Very concerned. I think he and a lot of other players (specifically Westbrook, should consciously change their gait to avoid injury and strain on knees, adductors, hips, etc.
High work ethic? Dudes two cheeseburgies away from Shaq.
Dude I want this dude to tell me my injuries when I get hurt, cuz imma know literally everything I need to know about my injury in 5 minutes.
Since his first season I knew his giant size was going to plague him.
Oversized, bad knee. Bad foot? Roll out of his nike shoes
Precisely why ive never been hyped for his career. I just dont see him staying on the court
Everybody had these concerns
kind of reminds me of Porzingis too.but zion needs to change something while he still can. he's too good to be injury prone
Honestly, I thought we were over the era of the giant man with the giant muscles that weighs 250 pounds?
Didn’t Lebron kinda change the paradeigm when he lost all that weight?
Don’t some of the smaller guys in the league prove this?
Big guys are a liability. Especially when they costs hundreds of millions.
@@pkemn2193 280 loll which is even crazier . And bron is still 250 plus lol
That weight is going to be the end of him.
He’s done by 30 years.
Seems like a great kid, but he’s gonna be a problem.
Yeah I like him but I don’t see him getting smaller, his athleticism with his weight is to good to be true 😞
Thirty is nine years from now.
For him to play nine more years seems like a best case scenario....
Or earlier than that. That athleticism will go down the drain by 27
I was hoping he would lose around 10 -12 lbs
False. His body will adjust. Even Jordan broke his foot early in his career. When you’re a step above everyone else, your body needs time to adjust no matter the athlete. It might slow him down but it will not be the end of his career. He’s a freak athlete
Huge concerns about Zion, wish all the best for his healing
If you move around the letters in Zion you get MR. GLASS
@Ur stupid I’m not allowed to fight mortals. Jokes aside. Look up the first video the doc did on Zion. He really broke down Zions walking and jumping mechanics and how this is going to be a recurring theme for Zion.
Dumbest joke ever smh
@@mr.onehundon5537 ik right? Smh
Zion Bustliamson
Had a 5th metatarsal non displaced fracture over the summer that I walked on for a week without knowing. thankfully I was as only in a boot and it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been, my entire body weight landed on my right foot and my foot collapsed inwards, felt more brutal than it was
Soul food + 2k all day whilst he nurses the injury? Pelicans gotta be worried.
@Brian Sutterer MD can you explain the jack eichel situation with a breakdown of the surgeries being argued about?
please do one on COUTINHO (barcelona soccer player). he had a meniscus tear with a cyst. i have same thing and am unsure of which route to take. thanks!
Could you do the one for Lassina Traore which happened in the Shaktar v inter game in the champions league a few minutes ago it looks serious
I fractured my 5th metatarsal 2 weeks ago after I jumped and landed on another guys foot while playing basketball. The break is at the zone 1 and did not require surgery. I'm worried about my recovery and not being able to return to 100% though.
Anybody else start to feel for the bone after he pointed it out? 😆 I found it doc😬
HEY DOC PLEASE DO A VIDEO OF THE FIGHTER FROM BAREKNUCKLE BOXING 20... HE PASSED AWAY FROM FALLING FROM THE KO DUE TO SPINAL INJURY
Not sure if there is enough to go on, I didn't see it last night. If there is, though, do a video on Joe Mixon and his potential high ankle sprain! I need to know he's okay!!!
Love the breakdown. Do you ever cover female athlete injuries, assuming you also work with females?
Could you please react to the Callum Smith vs Lenin Castillo brutal KO last weekend?
The first time I saw his walking gait I was concerned for his career. I'll happily be shocked if he plays in even half of his teams games throughout his career.
see the news today..... another set back soreness in the foot he aint gonna be back anytime soon.
Excessive weight doesn't mix with vertical explosiveness long term, and in this case short term. Shame cause he has crazy raw talent
please do a video on the Deontay Demus injury
Think you can do a video on James White hip injury of the patroits
Hey doc I know your a busy man , but mind checking out the dodgers first baseman Max Muncy injury it just happened right now on the last game of the season :/ don’t look too good !:(
Hey doctor can do you a analysis on the Kevin Holland vs Kyle Darcus nc please
Why does fracturing the bone cut off blood supply, isn't the supply in the soft tissue? Thanks, great vid.
Can you do the Max Muncy injury?
im not a trainer or doctor but i think zion might have to shed some weight. all that weight on the feet while balling out on the court jumping and landing and planting on the foot must be taking its toll. i dont wanna see zion limited and injury prone, i wanna see him grow into the legend he's gonna be
I had the same. Then I broke it again weeks after the cast came off. (1st doc didn't know it was a Jones, thought it was a reg fracture smh)
Got surgery and put a screw in it. I'm 37 and still workout and hoop (mostly indoors to be safe. Never 2 days in a row)
Zion will be fine. He'll recover MUCH faster than I did I'm SURE lol....However is almost a foot taller. Weighs much more than me and plays ball more often at a higher level....IS...that a cause for concern?
I play football on a fractured toe by the time I realized it the doctor told me it's damn near healed
My guy Brian is a freaking medical encyclopedia.
..he is a doctor lol
@@harrisonzhu3300 not every doctor knows every piece of every bone in the body.
@@randomonium3742 he is a PM&R doctor and is currently a sports medicine fellow. You bet out of any doctor he is going to know the most about your MSK system (with the exceptions of orthopedic surgery, msk radiology, etc.)
can you explain the dontay demus injury
Could you fo dontay demus injury
Out of the league in 5 years or about 200 games, whichever comes first.
You can only punch that serious injury ticket so many times…
Can you cover dontay demus from Maryland 🙏🏾
*Iowa vs Maryland injury!!!*
Will you look at the injury to the University of Maryland receiver injured on a kickoff return tonight?
Zion was so casual about it "yeah bruh I broke my foot, had surgery its fine Ill be ready for the season opener whatevs idgaf"😂😂
Can we get a video on the Dontay Demi’s injury
Iowa vs Maryland injury please
Take a look at Maryland receiver D. Deemus last night vs Iowa football.
Not sure if this is similar with yao ming injury since its foot injury and could cause career-ending injury
Oh damn...That's not good at all! It's starting to become a pattern. I hope he gets well soon!
RIP Zions season
And there goes the pels season
He will heal from this but it seems that his body cannot hold up with his power. Whether it be a meniscus tear, broken finger, foot fracture even though these are lighter injuries they have become common with him. I am no doc but it seems like he needs a nutritionist to lose weight, someone to teach him the kinetics of his body and that he may just be naturally injury prone. Will we ever see Duke Zion with his crazy athleticism again. Because if we do then he will be a top 5-10 player for sure as his defense will catch up to his offence.
Hah that Ja Morant jersey is perfect
he's gotten bigger
Can you talk about the recent reports on Caris LeVert having a ‘minor’ stress fracture in his back? Is it even possible to be “minor?”
Zion is going to be injured frequently because of his weight, and type of play. His knees and feet will give up and break on his weight and the way he lands after a dunk.
You forgot to factor in his injury history. 2yrs ago he had an injury on his right lateral meniscus. Meaning the alignment is out of wack.
Flying around like he isn't overweight, will keep him injured. Too much wear and tear on joints and bones.
Great vid. This is exactly the type of injury you worry about with a player having Zion's unique build and athleticism. Which will raise doubts about his durability and longevity going forward. Meanwhile as a fan I'll just continue to pray that it was a one-off.
Fractured toe is not a big deal cause i played football with one not knowing it was broken
I'd love to see him drop about 20lb during the off season, bis body needs him to lose weight, i don't think that losing 20lb will make him weaker, he is bigger than Barkley in his prime for sure, but even Barkley dropped to 250lb in the look for his prime shape.
more like 20 kilos.... or 30 !
Zion is this century's Sam Bowie.
Just imagine if he played football instead👀🔥
Broke my 5th 8 weeks ago. It’s a long process
U good now?
@@blury4 I can walk no issues now but cutting and jumping is not really allowed yet. Of course Zion had the best trainers in the world so he will be back sooner. It’s pretty wild actually .
@@7743dustin ahhh Thanks for the info. Recover well bro
could it be that since he always goes left he puts a ton of stress on the right foot?
Dear Lord, he looks comically, inhumanly pumped up. Definitely a unique physical force. But he is so bulky I just can’t imagine the pounding his knees and feet must take. I guess we’ll see if this was an isolated incident or an ongoing issue.
Has he gained weight during the break or am I tripping?
hell yea, dude is a whole defensive tackle
IT TRIPS ME OUT THAT THEY HAVEN'T FIGURED THE INJURY IN PRESEASON WAS THE SAME INJURY FROM COLLEGE HE JUST DID NOT HAVE SURGERY CAUSE COACH K WOULD HAVE MADE HISTORY IF HE WON FINAL 4 SO THEY RUSHED HIM BACK. PLUS IT CAME FROM A SHOE BUSTIING DURING GAME
If only the multi billion dollar industry of basketball had your keen insight.
He literally looks like Thanos. Those arms are not normal
Greg Oden 2.0?
damn
i hope not ☹️
He's definitely got to work on his footwork to compensate all that weight yo. Take some Ballet or Yoga classes
The exercise he needs is fork pushdowns.
Still can’t believe nobody of his squad forcing him to lose weight…
I still don't think Zion understands how much stress is on his body, and his body isn't exactly built for stress, it's built for power. He needs to look at what happened to guys like blake and larry johnson, who thankfully were able to save their careers by developing other skills when their athleticism waned from numerous injuries.
Derrick rose😣
He has unnatural strength and explosiveness. So much so that if he’s at max effort, something has (and usually does) to give. Something that will plague him as long as has that freakish strength and speed.
You say this everytime about Zion.. he's too big and his career is doomed unless he tones down the weight
Greg Oden 2.0...??!! How unlucky for this dude. ☹️
If he come to portland yes .. joining roy and oden :(
Zion is 20 or 21 and has had a lot of injuries to his body...something needs to change. Aging sucks.
Dude... if the shoes aren't blowing up, the bones be breaking...
Broke my 5th playing basketball. Landed on a dudes foot and rolled my ankle.
If this man can stay healthy this year and lose some more weight…..he’s MVP I’m callin it now and he WILL make AD regret his decision to leave him for that over the hill needs all stars everywhere Lebum
Lmao Lebron is in your head rent free. AD already got a ring he’s probably happier than ever to leave that shitty organization
Cousins and Davis left for a reason.. injury prone. Same with San Antonio Spurs. They push their players to hard and don’t understand everyone is different and need to recover. And or they need to learn to speed up recovery and take (physical therapy* workout style) seriously)
Spurs breaking Leonard is overrated. Dude has had every opportunity to do it his way for a while now, and he's broken again.
@@pullt I was talking more like tony Parker but yeah. Some people can just handle pain better
@@daddystired Then I guess your point eludes me as Parker never had bad things to say about the staff in SA
@@pullt why would he when he has a insanely hard work ethic and pain tolerance.
@@daddystired Zion needs different work ethic as well. He needs to do more sets of dinner plate pushaways and fork drops....
As soon as I saw Zion I said Shawn Kemp 2.0. Not only because of his playing style, but because I can't picture him having a long career with his physique. I know Kemp had a short career because of drug use, but this guy needs to lose weight asap if he wants to have a long career. He's built more like an NFL player than an NBA player.
It's debated by scholars, but to me Kemp wasn't really overweight until his 5th illegitimate child season, but can understand those who say Kid #6...
@@pullt Yeah, my memory is that Kemp had a regular build for a good many years of his career. Wasn't skinny, but looked like a hooper for all his 20s I think.
@@pullt that's why I wrote that Shawn Kemp had a shortened career for different reasons (drug use). I know that he pretty much had the ideal physique for a guy his size earlier in his career. I think they traded him to the Cavs because they saw the writing on the wall and then his career went downhill after that. At this rate, I could see them doing the same thing with Zion if he's injured for half of his career and can't seem to get himself into NBA shape as opposed to NFL shape. He looks like an NFL TE in this video. He has to get himself to 150 lbs asap if he's planning on having a long NBA career.
Dude is a beast but losing 30 pounds would help.
Time to give him a nickname. Zion 'Always Injured' Williamson. It is possible he is simply too strong for his body. Feel sorry for his body.
I really hope he doesn’t become another Derrick rose and completely destroy his knees, acl, mcl, meniscus, etc
The huge boulder is just body mass....
Hi
Zion should reach out to Dwight Howard.
Should reach out to Shannon Sharpe or Charles Barkley
The new Greg Oden.
Bruhh he's like mark henry now
The kid's too heavy and has alotta power in his lower body. The body can only handle so much. He needs to get as lean as possible to make it through the entire season including the playoffs.
This guy stays injured, he gets mad at the organization for giving him minute restrictions. Stop getting fucking hurt and you wont have to worry about minute restrictions.
If you put enough force on the 5th metatarsal to blow out a Nike shoe, you're probably putting too much force on it. He needs to adjust his mechanics.
Isn’t this his 3rd injury so far ?? Hope he gets well 🙏🏾
Zion, like other NBA players, needs to rehabilitate/naturalize his feet🦶.
Sup
Yo how the hell did they cover this up and keep all the cameras off of Zion could you walk around without a book for those like this is the most covert thing ever
That boy Zion look Like he sat on the couch all off season recovering. Holy shit that dude is to damn big. He needs to shed some weight and I'm talking healthy weight loss. He has so much money now no excuse for not being super dedicated and having a workout plan and personal chef make every meal and snack you eat. Even with a broken foot there Is stuff trainers can come up with to get you a workout. He is so explosive so he will be a great player but he is never goin to reach that top tier like Luka or harden or kd or Bron or Steph I'd this dude don't get his body right. He is young so he is still dominating but he is goin to age and he will not be near as productive and its going to hit him like a monster truck.
griffin 2.0
How big is too big? He looks tired in game and gets injured.
I believe that they have LeBron listed at 250 lbs. Zion is shorter than him so he should be at around that weight tops. I think he was 290 at one point. Not sure what he is right now.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 true, but LeBron is used to the work load. Zion needs more focused training instead of just overloading him which seems to be what happened.
Another Yao Ming situation
