I don’t really expect that there is a very high probability of catastrophic/career ending injury.
I mean, how many players under 25 have actually had catastrophic career ending injuries in the past 10 years.

No idea.
That doesnt remove the possibility though, and its why he would be very unlikely to go any short term deal. No matter how small that possibility is, if it did happen he would be screwing himself out of well over 50 million dollars. Just to big a risk IMO and i have no doubt that is exactly what his agent and father are advising him as well. Rightfully so I would say. Just way to much on the line for that to happen.
