I am not typically a basketball fan. In fact, it is probably on the bottom of my list of major professional sports. However, after my first week at my new office, I am taking some time just to relax. After all, this is the 1st weekend in a while on which I did not have to go work at the office preparing it to see patients.
As many of you know, I spent the 1st 29 years of my life in Northeastern Ohio. I was born in Akron and my undergraduate degree is from The University of Akron. I went to podiatry school in Cleveland and did my residency in the greater Cleveland area.
So, even though I am not a huge basketball fan, I pay attention when a team in Cleveland is doing well. I do not think it is fair to call me fair-weather as I have been to plenty of Browns, Indians, Cavs, and minor league hockey games in downtown Cleveland and even in Richfield at the old Coliseum when these teams were not doing well. I also really appreciate LeBron James returning to our hometown to try to bring the people of Northeastern Ohio a championship.
Therefore, I admit I have been following the Cavs. Unfortunately, with Kevin Love's season being over, I am concerned with Kyrie Irving. Reports say he has a foot sprain and he is playing with a limp. As a podiatrist, I wonder if there is more than a sprain. I start to think about a stress fracture. After all, a painful foot and limping is not normal. Often, when someone keeps walking on a sore foot or ankle, it can make the condition worse and harder to treat.
I just hope that Kyrie's injury does not worsen as he and Lebron compliment each other well and would not want any long term problems.
As I type this at the end of the 3rd quarter of game 4 vs. the Bulls, things certainly do not look good for the Cavs. However, in sports anything can happen.
