TC had a lot of lower leg injuries back when he was with NO. Even cancelled a trade with OKC when he couldn't pass their physical.
Bill Walton also had foot/leg problems off and on.
Seems like Lively missed time at Duke for an injury early in the season then played the rest of the way.
Final thought...could this be part of the stealth tank plan? Keep his minutes controlled, be ultra-conservative with any aches and pains and get him past the foot issues and robustly healthy for the next season. When there may be Flagg + a shiny new lottery pick to build around.
I hate looking at (another) losing season, but it may be the best way to go.
