As if the New York Knicks’ season couldn’t get any worse. It seems that it’s boiling over into their future. Jose Calderón who has been trying to come back from an achilles injury, has complicated it. A few days ago there were reports that be might be done. And according to the New York Post, he’ll be out once again with an achilles injury.
Calderon, who first injured the tendon in Boston on Feb. 25, missed his 16th straight game Friday against Boston, as the Knicks fell 96-92. Calderon underwent a platelet-rich plasma, blood-spinning procedure Monday because the strain wasn’t healing. In doing so, he didn’t help his chances of returning. He needs to be in a walking boot for 10 more days. At that juncture, only one week will be left to the season, and he still would need to get back into game shape.
“We got to be honest with this — it’s not a lot of chances,’’ Calderon said. “After the boot is off, we’ll have to make another decision.’’
Why fight this? Why not just sit and rehabilitate like a normal person. In an age where anybody can get injured. Why risk it? Did you know that less than 10% of people who have a Jones fracture surgery actually go on to have the bone graft surgery that Kevin Durant is having? Crazy right? And Calderón feels like he should test an achilles injury. Crazy.
