My doctor hat? Not even close - anyone growing like Wemby is at that age is MUCH more susceptible to injury. That’s not normal and in the rare instances you see it, yeah, the vast majority of times you start to see chronic issues.
Maybe it was BS rumors but several sources said he grew 2-3 inches in the last year or so. That’s absolutely insane at his age and prior height.
edit: tons of studies. Not often I post NIH here…
Overall injury incidence and burden were greater in pre-PHV players with quicker growth rates compared to players growing moderately and slowly. All in all, players with more rapid growth-rates were at higher risk for growth-related injuries in all pre-, circa- and post-PHV periods. Post-PHV, the incidence and burden of joint/ligament injuries were 2.4 and 2.6-times greater in players growing slowly compared to players growing moderately. Practitioners should monitor growth rate and maturity status and consider their interaction to facilitate the design of targeted injury risk reduction strategies.
