Can NBA Thompson return to normal level?

First of all, I think the first person most people will meet is derrick rose. The youngest MVP, who was arrogant in those days, became a role player when he was at the peak of his career. All this originated from the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament. However, seeing Ross' name,

klay thompson was injured in the finals and was diagnosed with anterior cruciate ligament tear. Many people may not know much about this injury, so let's talk about how much this injury may affect Clay.

which players are most affected by this injury? Especially those players who like to change direction and rely on throwing to finish, just like derrick rose, the ligament tear really destroyed them, which directly led to the sudden decrease of lower limb strength, and then affected muscle memory. This directly requires them to change their style of play and learn to play again, and the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

Back to the topic, Clay missed only 25 games in his whole career before his injury, and was called "Iron Man". Therefore, in my opinion, as long as he is not troubled by injuries after his recovery from this injury, the impact of this injury on him will not be too great, and it is still no problem to return to the All-Star level. ?

In fact, with the gradual improvement of modern developed medical standards, the impact of anterior cruciate ligament tear on athletes has been much smaller than before. Clay has never been famous for his impact, and his playing style is mainly based on catching the ball and jumping after running without the ball. Therefore, the style of play determines that the impact of this injury on Clay may not be as serious as that of other players.

Although it has little influence on Clay on the offensive end, it will inevitably affect his lateral movement speed on the defensive end, which is also a big blow to Clay, a defensive leader. However, the recovery situation varies from person to person, and Clay is still young. I hope Tang Shen can recover.
