Golden

First symptom of an ACL injury is when you hear a loud "pop" or popping sensation heard or felt in the knee.

ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Injuries are most common in athletes. It involves pivoting with sports like Basketball, Football, Soccer, Gymnastics etc.

This type of injury is more regarded as a concern for female athletes. Over 76.6% of all ACL injuries resulted in surgery.

In the NBA

Stanford researchers studied that the more a player drives to the basket is more likely to tear their ACL. Which supports the study since driving to the basket and finishing involves jumping to layup the ball and when a person landing incorrectly it can cause stress and tear the ligaments.

Pre-Injury 08-12. Post-Injury 12 and after

Before his injury he was destined for greatness. Youngest to win the MVP award of the season. His speed, flashiness, athleticism and thunderous dunks were always on his highlight reels every game. After all his recovery, he was not the same as he used to be. He became less efficient, drives to the basket not as much as he used to. Rose has never fully recovered from his devastating injury and it shows on the stats. He is becoming more careful of his play style.

Before Injury Highlights

Again!

Rose is slowing down

Rose had an offensive rating of 109.6, which is how many points a player can produce either by scoring or assisting per 100 possessions. After injuries, that number drops to about 95.6, meaning that he is becoming less and less involved in offense unlike before. Rose is still able to show his athleticism through flashy dunks, but stats have shown that he isn’t able to give the numbers that come close to his MVP years or around that.

A guard’s qualities rely on change of speed and direction, having an ACL injury or history with it makes your performance slowly drop down.
