That injury was so tough to watch. You could see KD feeling good in warmup, doing spin moves and dunks, albeit at like 30% explosiveness. Then in the first quarter he was nailing shots and had an energetic exchange with FVV, but he was still not trying anything explosive.
He was probably feeling zero pain. Then there were like, two offensive possessions where he tried to exert himself a little bit more. On the second one he went to push off that leg athletically and naturally for really the first time and it just popped.
That game was also tough to watch. Yikes.
