He wouldn't be considered a liability when he was still playing 35 or so minutes. He's in pain.
Exactly. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome sounds like it’s a beast to deal with. What I read about it says one of the conditions it is similar to is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which my son has and it’s awful.
When nerve pain is involved, that is another type of pain altogether and very difficult to treat. LaMonté shut it down, I suspect, because he does not want to put his health at further risk. (Though I don’t pretend to know what he’s thinking or feeling like some on here.)
Folks need to read up on the condition. People just amaze me. “Didn’t want to feel like a liability.” His health is more important than basketball.
