Answers: i play basketball. will i be out for the whole season?
In your case, I think it would be a good idea. The reason you have an avulsion fracture is because the tendon was stretched so roughly, it pulled off the bone & took bone with it. For that reason, PT would work on strengthening the tendons, since basketball stresses the ankles. As to being out the whole season--hard to predict--you do not want to prematurely play and re-injure.
