Reply to comment by MattWey in Kevin Durant out after injuring ankle in pregame slip, scheduled for MRI. by PrincessBananas85

I don’t see how more weight coming down on an ankle as it turns would’ve helped. It’s not like the tendons are less prone to injury if someone puts on muscle (or fat).

Actually if you're lower body is more muscular it takes the load off of your joints, ligaments and tendons.

He’s an nba basketball player he obviously has strong legs, skinny legs can still be strong Durant was quite athletic in his 20s.

He went to step not even very hard and either his shoe slipped or got caught and his ankle rolled over. ‘More muscular’ legs wouldn’t help that plus he just came back from his knee injury so legs could have been a little heavy.

Constant lower body injuries is a sign.

He had little until he hurt his Achilles, but agreed knee sprains in back to back years aren’t good signs.
