Walker s right ankle sprained for more than 90 degrees, attending the award ceremony with crutches, replaying amazing season reimbursement

Pacers will compete fiercely with the Thunder for the 24-25 NBA championship, and the Pacers will face the challenger in this game. After all, the Thunder stand out as the top of the league with a brilliant record of 68 wins. This is not only their glory this season, but also the eighth best regular season record in history. What is even more remarkable is that the Thunder's star Alexander was awarded the regular season MVP, which undoubtedly added a strong mark to their winning journey.

Faced with such a strong opponent, the Pacers' finals will undoubtedly be even more bumpy. Especially unfortunately, the Pacers also lost a main rotation player, Jares Walker. During a defensive layup, Walker's right ankle was twisted in shockingly more than 90 degrees when he landed, and then he fell to the ground in pain. This defense became Walker's bestselling in this game. After the Pacers made a mistake in counterattack, the Knicks made a quick attack, while Walker was still lying on the ground. It was not until Carlisle urgently stopped that the team doctor was able to enter the field for treatment. The playback shot clearly shows the reverse joint twist of Walker's right ankle, which is undoubtedly a serious sprain, likely accompanied by ligament injury and bone contusion. Later, the Pacers officially announced that Walker was unable to continue the game due to a sprained right ankle. Although the Pacers eventually won the victory, Walker had to attend the awards ceremony with crutches, and his right foot was completely unable to bear the weight.

Since Walker is not a big-name star, or even the Pacers' starting point, many American medical experts did not conduct in-depth analysis of his injuries. However, judging by Walker's right ankle that was swollen after receiving ice and treatment, his injury should not be underestimated. According to expert Evan Jeffries, sprains are divided into grade one, two and three, and they take 1-2 weeks, 3-6 weeks and several months of surgical treatment to recover. Currently, Walker is in daily observation on the injury list, but his right foot cannot carry a weight and he still needs to walk with crutches. It is reported that he will undergo an MRI test tomorrow, and even the slightest first-degree sprain means he will miss the remaining games of the season, including the upcoming finals.

Walker was a star player at the University of Houston and has become the first NCAA player to enter the NBA Finals since Damon Jones in 2007. However, who would have thought that this player who has an indissoluble bond with our Rockets would suffer such a severe blow at such a critical moment.
