THAT would be a bad look, kids.

It would, but that aspect of it is hardly unprecedented. There are probably a dozen examples every year of a player trying to make it in the league who blows an ACL and never makes it back.

It does make me wonder if this will bring more light to that fact, though, and possibly change how it works in the next CBA.
