Yes, it does. He was rumored to have had a high ankle sprain, but those are harder to play through than a knee. No way to help stabilize the high ankle like you can a knee or even a normal ankle sprain. Although, the knee would still have greatly hampered his play.

Anyone watching could tell he wasn't the same player in the second half of the season. Looked tentative.

Not sure if he was tentative, but the explosiveness and acceleration were surely lacking. Recall his first two seasons where it looked like he was pulling away from defenders without make much of an effort.

Since he didn't have corrective surgery, we'll have to see if he regains that very same form.

AK needs to get smarter and choose his acrobatic moves wisely. It's when he elevates off his feet he becomes prone to injury from vicious hits not to mention hard landings.
