It would seem releasing info about something like a knee injury seems pretty harmless.

But according to this link, HIPPA does apply:

[JUSTIFY][I]Finally, regarding the sharing of information with the media, this issue is clear-cut. Under HIPAA, personal health information can be provided to sports information staff or the media only with authorization from the athlete (Magee et al., 2003).[/I][/JUSTIFY]

[JUSTIFY][I]Any sport entity that is covered under HIPAA needs to review its existing practices, policies, and procedures. Relationships with other businesses also will need to be reviewed as they fall under HIPAA guidelines. Utilizing experienced legal counsel to determine status under HIPAA and also to recommend authorization forms, privacy notices, and business-associate contracts is recommended (Kibbe, 2005).[/I]

Sorry this happened to Justin just as he was emerging as a possible future star.  Best wishes to him for a full and complete recovery.[/JUSTIFY]
