Baron Davis – New York Knicks

When Davis was with the Knicks, he was a key player for the team. In 2012, they even made it to the playoffs, facing eventual champs, Miami Heat. In Game 4, the Knicks’ only win in the series, Davis grabbed a rebound and marched up the court. He went to take a shot, but as he extended his arms, his knee buckled and down he went. At first, the injury didn’t look that bad, but replays show his knee buckle inward as his foot stays planted on the court. Ouch is an understatement.

Davis’s nickname was “Big Baby” so no one took him quite seriously when it came to injuries. During a 2010 playoff game, the referees continued play after Davis landed on the floor and stayed there. He had gone up for a rebound but collided with several players before he landed on his head. When Davis fell into the arms of a ref, after wobbling around the court, they called a time out. Davis had suffered a concussion and while he eventually came back, he’s never been quite the same player.
