KD: Tatum and Lillard contacted me after their Achilles tendon injury. I feel like I have become an Achilles tendon expert.
Today, Durant talked about the process of recovering from a major Achilles tendon injury in James and Nash's podcast "Mind the Game".
Nash: "It's incredible to think about it. I'm in my 30s and I can recover after a tear of the Achilles tendon. I'm still an incredible player. Lillard and Tatum are experiencing this kind of injury. Two outstanding players, it's obvious that Lillard is in his 30s and Tatum is only in his 20s. Maybe we can talk a little and just say a few words to Tatum in the camera. Tell me a little about what it takes to recover from this injury and what these guys will face in the future."
Du Rand: "No, man, that's really a tough battle. Of course, Tatum and Lillard have contacted me. I feel like I've become an Achilles tendon specialist. They contact me when they get hurt, and I do my best to give the best advice I can. A lot of players have recovered from this injury and regained their form. My situation may be the most popular, but there are actually many stories of players who have recovered that have inspired me through that difficult recovery. And these guys are different in themselves, you know , from the way they are going to see now. "
"They are rare and excellent players. So this is just a small pause in their career journey, and they have to calm down and focus on dealing with it. I think it's easy to focus once they truly realize that 'they have to be on standby for a year'. But at the beginning, it may take a few weeks before they can really accept this fact. This may be the first time in their life that they have to be idle and can't play. Physically, they just can't participate in the game."
"This is probably the first time they have experienced this situation. In my opinion, at this time, either self-improvement or they are in a slump. And I think these two guys have proved time and time again that they will continue to improve themselves. Whether as individuals or as players, the process is really hard, brother. You see me every day, and you know that it is an uphill battle."
Durant also provided specific opinions on the recovery of the two.
