The mystery of Newkirk's injury

[JS School]

Has it ever been reported when or how it happened? Could it have been a chronic thing that steadily got worse as the season progressed?

I know it looked like his struggles were as much mental as physical, but that might have been the result of him not being able to physically finish plays he thought he could make, resulting in ill-advised shots or forced passes.

Reportedly happened in pick up game.

Before season, early season, mid-season, late season? Curious if the injury was the primary cause of the off-year performance wise.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that.

I guess I was just looking for an explanation for his performance last year.
