The roster of the Philadelphia 76ers is young and talented. But we’ve just discussed just how grueling the sport can be. So what can a team do?
Hire Dr. David T. Martin.
Doc Martin does not shake a stick nor prescribe two aspirin and tell players to call him in the morning. He makes every full faith effort to restore a player to a level of health before an injury or accident occurred.
To put in another way, imagine you are camping, and you want to restore a campsite to the condition it was in before you got there. That takes a lot of work. You clean up, rake, reset, replace everything. If you burned firewood, it means chopping more. If you placed a tent, it means filling in holes made by tent stakes.
Restoration does not come easily, nor quickly. Medical science is not perfect. Diagnostic tests do not have 100% accuracy results. Athletes rarely arrive to the NBA 100% fit. Old nagging injuries flair up.
