Might explain why he's been struggling to adjust to the college game.
JB said the same in his post game presser. He said Tyus didn't start those few games because he wasn't 100%.From yesterday's PS Waters article:
"My foot's feeling really good now,'' Battle said. "There's no pain going to the basket and stuff like that. It's getting there. It's feeling really good."
Hopefully not that serious; if it was his knee, he would be walking around with a sleeve or brace as a precaution.so I'm a bit confused by this... who walks around in a boot for precautionary reasons with a game (that they're apparently all set to play in) coming up in a couple of days? Does he wear a boot around any time he's not playing?
And, if this is some lingering serious thing that would then seemingly require surgery and recovery to fully heal, why would Tyus/his dad/the team risk having him play on it now?

It may be robbing him of his explosiveness.
I mean, it's gotta be - despite what Tyus is sayingI've wondered if that's a big part of the reason why he isn't attacking the basket more, and has been more of a stationary jump shooter.
thanks, this helps!I think we all know his foot isn't 100%, but it may never be 100% in his career. If it's healthy enough to play on, there's no reason not to have him wear a boot whenever possible. We had a couple kids in high school with sprained ankles wear boots throughout the week to speed up recovery as much as possible. They'd take the boot off for practice and games, then slap it back on. It's a good idea for foot/ankle injuries that aren't bad enough to prevent you from playing effectively.
those boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do,thanks, this helps!
(I did not know boots were used in such a way)
