Injury Report
Sylvia Fowles - Right knee, day to day
K.B. Sharp - Back spasms, day to day
Sprains results from the over-stretching or tearing of a ligament. Bones are connected by ligaments, and when ligaments tear, a sprain occurs causing pain, muscle spasms, muscle weakness, swelling, or a "pop" or cracking sensation. Sprains usually result from falling or twisting and most often affect the ankle and knee. Proper treatment for a sprain includes rest, ice, compression, elevation, and anti-inflammatories, followed by progression of exercises for flexibility, strength, and balance.
