Kevin Durant has another sprained MCL — but not all sprains are created equal.
— but not all sprains are created equal, with both sources close to the situation and leading orthopedic specialists telling The Post this one isn’t as severe as the one that torpedoed the Nets’ last season.
“The bottom line with Kevin, he had this initial injury. It’s funny, could there be something else going on that they’re not telling us about? Who knows? That’s always the challenge,” NYU Langone Chief of the Division of Sports Medicine Dr. Laith Jazrawi told The Post. “But the bottom line is that if the timeline is two weeks, then the MRI probably shows very little signal in the MCL, in that area, which means they’re confident that he’ll probably be back along those timelines.
Dr. Daniel Kharrazi of Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles told The Post that Durant’s experience with the injury and rehab practices should help him. The former orthopedic consultant to the Lakers concurred the injury seems less severe than the earlier two.
