Paul: Similar Knee Problems Than Roy?
By Dimitri - Tuesday, November 16, 2010
John Hollinger speculates that Chris Paul could have knee problems similar to Brandon Roy.
As we’ve touched on previously, it’s been reported Brandon Roy has no meniscus left in his left knee due to an operation two years ago. Essentially, he’s been playing bone-to-bone for a while now, and it’s causing his recent loss in explosion and limited minutes. (Roy also has no meniscus left in his right knee stemming from an operation in the spring.)
In Monday’s PER Diem, ESPN’s John Hollinger writes about the Hornets’ hot 8-0 start.
And tucked inside his analysis is the fact that Chris Paul had a similar knee operation to Roy, and is also miniscus-free in his left knee.
Does that mean Paul could be headed towards a similar fate?
Hollinger explains:
“If you’re following the Hornets closely, what’s happening with Roy has to have you a little freaked out. Pardon my Stephania Bell impersonation here, but Roy had the meniscus removed in his left knee two years ago, leaving it in a bone-on-bone situation, and after two years of that pounding he’s now paying the piper. We don’t know what his future holds, but we’re guessing it’s dramatically less productive than his immediate past. (Wait, it gets better: Roy also has no meniscus left in his right knee as a result of April’s surgery. This whole routine may play itself out on the other leg two years from now.) Why am I bringing up Roy? Because Paul had a similar procedure done after his knee injury last spring. So Paul, like Roy, is meniscus-free in the knee, and I suspect that grinding action is going to have a similarly destructive effect someplace down the road. But for now it might have created an especially focused player. While all athletes face a rapidly ticking clock before their bodies give out on them, it seems to me that Paul’s is ticking even faster than most, and I wonder if that created some of the urgency that led to all the drama this summer.”
Joe’s take- Unless I’m remembering incorrectly, or I just received faulty information from the get go, Paul didn’t have his entire meniscus removed, but only a piece. I will ask Paul on Wednesday if I get a chance. |
