Statement from 76ers' Paul George to ESPN: “Over the past few years, I’ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates and the Philly fans for my poor decision making during this process.
“I am focused on using this time to make sure that my mind and body are in the best condition to help the team when I return.”
There are several current NFL players that are patients (of my clinic) who have suffered a partial ACL tear and had the entire knee & ACL injected with ‘stem cells,’ never had surgery and are still playing on a high level several years later.
If Rashee Rice is dealing with a partial ACL tear, and that very well may be the delay, then the team needs to decide if surgery or a non-surgical approach is in his best interest.
Not all sports medicine physicians and regenerative medicine specialists inject the same way.
Just injecting some ‘stem cells’ into the knee joint will NOT be strong enough to prevent that partial tear from becoming a full-thickness tear.
There is a specific technique that is required, in addition to making sure that you use enough volume as well as the correct specific product choice to optimize healing.
For timelines, if this is the case these usually take 3-6 months to return to play, so for fantasy purposes it would be season-ending.
