Tomorrow will be two days so I'm going then.

It could be a partial (I'm praying) but I fear the worse. I saw the play Rondo tore his on and his reaction and it's EXACTLY what happened to me.

On a landing, heel skidded out on the landing, knee buckled, I limped about 4 steps. Sat for a few cuz I thought it was a tweak, pain subsided, got up to run the next game, tried to jump/turn for a rebound...it didn't feel right. I called it a day.

Over the next 30 min swelling kicked in but I already had ice on it.
