During the NBA's annual sports medicine consortium, team physicians confessed their medical knowledge is primarily focused on the legs. They acknowledged limited understanding of areas above the waist, including the chest, arms, and toes.
NEW YORK—Addressing reporters during the league’s annual sports medicine consortium, NBA team physicians admitted Wednesday that the medical stuff they know is almost entirely limited to the legs.
“You’ve got a torn ACL? We’re going to be able to help you. But we only have a vague idea what the deal is with toes. Everything in the chest is a total mystery. Presumably there are bones and stuff. And maybe arms are kind of like shorter, stubbier legs? But I wouldn’t really feel confident saying either way.” Riley added that many team physicians actually divide responsibilities with a colleague so that each can focus solely on the study of either the left or the right leg.
