It could be a number of tendons. I'm simply assuming achilles.Could be a peroneal tendon issue
I'm no expert, but it seemed to me that he never really "moved" right this year, as compared to his Freshman year. Very possible this foot ailment and his earlier issues are a secondary result from his knee injury. He's a big kid to come back from such an injury. He's not a 5'11 180 lb. cornerback. Unfortunate.
I do not recall when exactly Curry blew out his ACL but it was well before the 2017 Season started, and he never looked OK even after an extra long period of recovery time relative to most ACL cases.
He looked pretty rough in January, after a 16 month recovery (I looked it up finally - injured in late August 2017), so this was a somewhat rare case in the modern era of knee surgery.
Curry must have really messed up his knee, and I have my doubts if he will ever be an impact player again. This is really a sad story. I knew something was up when someone dished him the ball in his last game, with no traffic around, and he barely elevated for left handed old man finish.
I do remember a couple of other Gophers that were doomed by ACL injuries. Jayson Walton, #32, a high flying lefty forward was never the same after knee trouble later in his career playing for Clem in the early 90s. He used to be a power dunker and was later a shell of himself.
Duke Anyanwu was a promising athletic and big TE thought to be a good replacement for Maxx Williams. He blew out his knee in 2014 camp and never played again, although with the program for 3 more years.
ACL surgery is considered sort of a routine thing now with an expected return to the former levels, but that still does not always happen.

I have a son that blew out his ACL at age 16 and now at age 42 does 140 mile iron man marathons.
Lets hope this is not the case for Curry. I don't recall him being uber-explosive as a freshman so I'm hoping he can still get his game back and contribute for two more years. Fitzgerald also looked like he lost a lot after two ACLs.
If Curry was a runner instead of a basketball player his ACL would be much less of a problem. Runners don't need to make quick cuts so it's way easier to run with a bad ACL. In basketball you need to change directions quickly which requires much more knee stability.
Good points... I forgot about how frustrated Fitzgerald looked trying to play for MN after being a more explosive player at T AM before his injuries.
Currey was no Jordan Murphy as far as quick, explosive leaping, but he had pretty good lift and quickness for a lanky 230 plus guy, and that pretty much gone for Curry now. Maybe it can come back.
I sort of forgot about the second surgery to"clean it up" which to a non medical expert like me at least, suggests the original injury was beyond the routine.

On the Sports Huddle today, Pitino said Curry's latest injury was a Lis Franc injury, which involves bones and tendons in the foot. Pitino said he thinks Curry was favoring his bad knee, and that caused problems in his feet.
