Not sure if you're serious, but a bone bruise and a fracture are completely different things.Nah.
Warriors say Stephen Curry's injury is a bone bruise, not a sprained ankle - San Jose Mercury News
aka, fractured bone. People's fears are realized.

What is a bone bruise?
The term bone bruise is a misnomer and makes the injury seem less serious than it is. A so-called bone bruise is actually a fracturing of the inner layer of bone.
Bones are composed of 2 different types of bony tissue, the compact (cortical) bone and the cancellous (spongy) bone.
The compact bone is the outer layer of bone and is highly organized, solid, and extremely strong. When you injure this layer of the bone, it is referred to as a stress reaction or an occult fracture.
The cancellous bone is the innermost layer of bone. Unlike the outer layer of bone, it is not arranged in concentric layers, but in plates (called trabeculae) which form an irregular meshwork that is neither as organized nor as strong as the outer bone. An injury to this area of the bone represents very small fractures to the trabeculae in the meshwork of the bone and may be referred to as a bone bruise.
Me calling it a fracture isn't inaccurate. I probably should've left it just at bone bruise, but it is a type of fracture. Either way, getting these types of injuries when you know a star player is already a concern for that region isn't hopeful.A few trabeculae being damaged is a bone bruise, all of them being fractured is where it's an actual fracture.
I hear Mikel and Jello, the italian roofers, were too.Dude is a premodna.
Now you're just arguing semantics. Medically they are two different conditions based on severity. Like saying someone with a laceration on their forearm has an arm fracture because the skin was "fractured".Me calling it a fracture isn't inaccurate.

So you respond to me in kind with not even a apt analogy? Fracture implies bone issue and your response doesn't change or weaken my point. The man has ankle issues and its slowly becoming chronic. Will it affect this season? Probably not. Next year? Becoming dubious.Now you're just arguing semantics. Medically they are two different conditions based on severity.
