Summary
On Tue.'s No Dunks, the guys talk to a sports medicine doctor — Dr. James Borchers from The Ohio State University — about potential reasons for the uptick in lower-body NBA player injuries, avoiding early specialization in youth sports, and the number one key to recovery. That, plus the Suns snap the Timberwolves' 5-game win streak, Derik Queen's first triple-double, whether the Miami Heat should trade for Ja Morant, and more.
