Injuries are as fierce as a tiger, rookie Moore s Achilles tendon torn during trial training, everything in the 13 teams in a crazy trial training ends with a bubble

With less than a week left, the 2025 NBA Draft will officially kick off, and all those players who run for the election want to hear their names in the draft. For them, more than ten years of hard work, from poor boys to professional players who gain both fame and fortune, it is likely to be realized that day.

For prides like Flag and Harper, they are in a much better situation because they only need to try out one or two teams to wait for their names to ring in the draft. What's more, like Rutgers' rising star Es Bailey, this year, has not even had a team to try out, but even so, his pick in the draft will not fall out of the lottery.

For those potential second-round picks, especially those who may be selected at the end of the second round, they need to show their talents to as many teams as possible through continuous trial training, so that they will maximize their draft picks and get better contracts and development.

But because of this, continuous running has caused huge load on the players' bodies, making injuries more likely to occur. Just recently draft expert Jonathan Givony reported that University of Oklahoma player Jaron Moore suffered a torn Achilles tendon injury during a trial training for the San Antonio Spurs. He has undergone surgery and is expected to be able to recover completely, but the recovery period will be very long.

For Moore, this was a bolt from the blue. When the draft was about 4 days left, he was still dragging his tired body across the United States, participating in one fiercely competitive training after another. The San Antonio Spurs trial was the 13th trial meeting he had participated before the draft. According to the original plan, Moore still has three trials to participate in in the future.

I have to say that this is sad news, because Moore announced his participation in the draft, which means he can only take the path of professional players. However, injuries such as torn Achilles tendon will cause a significant decline in the explosive power of players. In the league, such as Thompson, Durant, and Paul George, have undergone huge changes in their original style of play after serious injuries.

And such injuries may have a recovery cycle of up to one year, which means that in this year's draft, Moore is destined to be unable to get a second round contract. After he recovers next year, without data support, the best situation is to join a team's Hagar League lineup, strive to sign a two-way contract and enter the Development League, so as to wait for another opportunity.

And this is not even a generous salary that he can get when he returns to college. It is reported that the NCAA will implement a new NIL policy on July 1 this year. Previously, the NCAA stipulated that college players could not participate in any commercial activities. And now they will spend $2.8 billion to compensate players who have been involved in portrait rights and television broadcast rights since 2016.

At the same time, after each team can pay $20.5 million per year as salary, the core players in each university can receive no less than those in the middle of the first round. Because of this, before this year's draft, as many as 50 players chose to withdraw from the election and return to the university league just because they can receive generous treatment.

As the absolute core of the University of Oklahoma, if Jaron Moore withdraws from the election and returns to the university, he is very likely to get a contract with an annual salary of over one million US dollars. In comparison, it is much more cost-effective than becoming a Development League player. But it's too late now, whether it's participating in the draft or returning to college, it's already gone.

For athletes, the saying that injuries are as fierce as tigers is by no means sensational. Even players who enter the NBA as the No. 1 pick still have players like Oden, Fortz, Simmons who have ruined their careers due to injuries. Perhaps the only thing others can do is pray. What do you think can reduce the occurrence of such tragedies? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
