At Hardaway's house.
A yoga mat was spread on the floor. Hardaway sat on it, following Chen Yu's instructions and performing simple flexion and extension exercises with his left knee.
"Hold it."
Chen Yu counted silently. After ten seconds, he motioned for Hardaway to lower his left leg.
Hardaway couldn't help but ask, "Chen, it's been almost two months. Am I still limited to these simple rehab exercises?"
He was truly tired of lying around.
Chen Yu nodded. "Actually, if it weren't necessary, you'd still be in bed with your leg in a brace, completely immobile."
The main issue is the microfracture surgery. For the cartilage to regrow, you need to stay completely still and rest.
Normally, you'd have to lie down for two to three months.
But starting rehab training now is, for one, to prevent his left leg muscles from atrophying after lying down for so long, which would be a hassle to rebuild.
