    yeah, i can see that. if it's a sprain. just generally speaking when an injury just sort of bubbles up, it often means the cause is very basic and longstanding in itself. it doesn't sound like this is that kind of thing, though.

    but for an analogy, kawhi leonard never knows when the injury happens. you just wake up and your knee is a grapefruit. that's bad.

    Can't believe all the years I played through middle school, HS and pickup ball in College I never landed on someone's foot and rolled an ankle. I did it one time bad in the 6th or seventh grade running across a friend's lawn and landed in a sprinkler hole. Damn!! Ballooned up and cost me the 2nd half of my little league season that summer.

    i did it a lot. but i was kind of a high flyer who took it into the paint as a small guy (think tiny white iverson or morant). one time my ankle snapped so bad that the guys playing two courts over stopped playing due to the sound of the pop.

    Lol no, thank god. It was a sprain but the ligament can make an audible pop, I’ve learned.
