Has there been any insight how Harper went from OUT to IN overnight?

[zappaa]

Fact of the matter is almost everything posted here is pure speculation with little real info And by the way those who really know something generally should keep keep their mouths shut.

You don’t have to be a genius to know he had a bad virus similar to JWill, he lost like 15 pounds and had no strength or stamina.
We saw him land on his ankle, we saw him try and play on it, we saw him miss two games wearing a walking boot.
What’s not to know?
The exact flu, don’t care.🤷‍♀️

When I watch a guy fall in an ugly manner while obviously twisting his ankle, then watch him limp in pain, then wear a walking boot while missing two games, I know it’s probably not a concussion

Who's discussing that?-- discussing the speculation like the seriousness of his issues, his desire,why he did or didn't play and every other innuendo based on nothing.

I see this mostly in the NFL, but it’s not uncommon for a player that’s out with a foot or ankle injury to watch the game in a boot regardless of the severity. Basically taking every precaution to limit the chance of a set back.

Yes I completely understand that. That's why I questioned the activity when he had the flu and why he could have been in the boot sooner. It's inconsistent behavior or approach but I am not in charge. I'm now just glad he's back and hope this is all behind.

I’ve had many sprained ankles in my younger days, some of them pretty bad. They can go from no chance of playing to almost 100% in a couple of days,..even the severe ones that have lingered.

Unfortunately, the cumulative affect is that I can now easily sprain my ankle just walking on the beach….but he’s many sprains and many years away from that.

Bone chips. And we all wore high tops back then and I'm not talking about Chuck Taylor All Stars.

Well 66-
It’s normal!
The better the player is, the more impactful and important he is….the more his presence is missed, the more it will spurn speculation and conversation.
Everything is under a microscope for highly impactful players at the highest level of sports

Better than Willis Reed like (old timers know).
The magic boot? Begs the ? of should he have been in it sooner. But damn. Welcome back!

Kids heal quickly.

Or maybe you’re just not close to the situation and don’t know how he was treated. Too many internet doctors.

No I don't know how he was treated and I didn't say I did (which is exactly why I aske the question if anything was shared). I do know there were PLENTY of eye witness reports seeing him in public walking without the boot and then all of a sudden it is on and then it is off and that just seemed strange.

MY GUESS is taking the two games off worked wonders. Simple as that.

Phrasing

Are we still doing phrasing?

The guy from Illinois was surpassing both him and Ace on some draft boards. Plays the same position as Dylan. Lol no way he was missing this game.
