Because of the hamstring, barkley thinks he was overcompensating. Berman reported that the back trouble started after Barkley’s first run.
Speaking to reporters after the game, he said, “I just gotta find a way to get healthy. That short line says a lot. Barkley called the situation annoying and said it comes with the season.
Barkley did not hide his irritation. Barkley has now dealt with three physical problems this season, and the latest one may be tied to the one before it. That is a common pattern. When one part of the body hurts, another part often takes extra load. It may also explain why a player can look fine in practice and still break down once a game picks up speed. He also admitted he does not fully understand why it keeps happening. That honesty matters. When a player cannot explain the pattern, the people watching him cannot predict it either. Philadelphia cannot plan around that.
