Elton Brand played in the NBA at about the same weight and had a torn achilles as well.
Brant stated "That whole kinetic chain: Once you get the calf, it’s the ankle, the knee, the hips, the back,” Brand told ESPN. “No one’s really recovered from that Achilles injury and come back at the same level. I had a few serviceable seasons, but I wasn’t the same guy.”
I ruptured my Achilles 28 months ago, still can’t stand on my toes on that foot, still feel it. I opted for no surgery, let it heal itself, 2 inch separation.
No way a pro athlete ever comes back from that injury, you’d be living a functional life yeah, but not that pro level performance thing...nope.
ACL is a knee ligament.
