Stupid Cleveland. How has this not been posted yet?
This is a very polarizing injury. A friend of mine is an ultra runner, close to elite level, and took one long jarring stride and not long after he couldn't run six miles without hurting.
They thought he had a torn labrum, just like IT4 supposedly has. He went under the knife after considering many options, including rest and rehab. And they ended up finding out that it wasn't a labrum tear but his femoral bone was protruding and causing the pain they thought. So they shaved it. He slowly rehabbed it, didn't run or other impact exercises for eight months. He has slowly eased into running again and just recently got back up to 20+ miles and feels great on the way back to ultras.
So, It is very easy to believe that different doctors can have different opinions from what they see and have been told. Many baseball players are starting to see this injury, like Arod, Mike Lowell, Chase Utley. It is a bad and unclear injury.
If the Cavs doctors have more concern now it is understandable. But Ainge seems to have been very clear and talking with very good faith. It Altman or Gilbert are trying to put the player back on the auction block after some second thoughts then fuck them and they need to be punished. (But no way that can be proved with such a polarizing injury.)
