In basketball, injuries are undoubtedly the last thing players and fans want to face, and for a young player, an injury can directly ruin his career. But these stars who have been seriously injured in the league, their recovery is not only very good, but even after returning from injury, they are more and more courageous! One has to wonder if it is a misdiagnosis? Today, the author will take stock of the stars who have been reborn after the four major injuries in active service!
Thompson
Speaking of the worst star in the NBA in the first two years, Thompson claimed to be second, and it is estimated that no one dared to call himself first. Since the torn cruciate ligament in his knee in June 2019, Thompson missed a full year of the 19-20 season, followed by a comeback in the 20-21 season, and suffered an injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon, two injuries that could destroy basketball players appeared on one person at the same time, or appeared continuously, making Thompson depressed for a while. However, after his comeback, Thompson can be described as a kung fu worthy, in the last 5 games, Thompson can average 28.8 points per game. The three-point shooting rate is as high as 44.4%, as if he did not lose his peak performance, which perfectly explains what is called Nirvana rebirth.
Durant
If Thompson showed some discomfort in the first few games after his return, then Durant is completely unsettled by this. Durant was also reimbursed in the 2019 Finals because of a ruptured Achilles tendon, and after returning to the field in the 20-21 season, he was still the league's top killer. Durant averaged 26.9 points per game in the regular season last year, and this year Durant averaged 29.9 points per game, comparable to the season when the scoring champions. This season, Durant not only cut 50+ three times, and even cut a career high of 55 points, this level of performance, do not blame netizens for complaining that it is not Durant's Achilles tendon rupture is a misdiagnosis.
Levine
As we all know, LaVine was not as good as he is during the Timberwolves era as he is now in the Bulls era, and few fans know Lavine's name except for the 15-16 dunk contest fame. What more fans don't know is that in the 16-17 season after participating in the dunk contest, Lavin was judged to be a cruciate ligament torn by an MRI examination, which can be said to be devastating for a player like LaVine who relies on bouncing to play, and everyone is not optimistic about the future after Lavin's comeback. However, who knows that LaVine practiced a precise three-pointer during his recovery and successfully played the second spring of his career with the Bulls, entering the NBA All-Star and even playing 27.4 points in the 20-21 season.
George
Friends who know George's career know that during the training of the US national team in 2014, George suffered a devastating injury, when in a cover, George's calf hit the basket frame, and the thigh and calf were fractured 90°, which was a tragic picture. At that time, George was still a rising star, and everyone was not optimistic about his future in the league. But who would have thought that George would not only be able to get back on his feet and return to the NBA, but even play better than he did before the injury. In his first season after his return, he averaged a career-high score of 23.1 points per game, and in the 18-19 season, he averaged 28 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, becoming the third in the MVP list. （ikuet）
