thanks for the kind words

I wasn't actually all that embarrassed. Pissed off more than anything that I would have to stop right when I was getting started and feeling good.

Though I've been reading on strength forums that they don't take a lot of time off squatting for ankle ligament problems. Thinking of going back with light weight to see what happens. I can do bodyweight no problem, so I should be all right.

There was some talk of Smith machines earlier. I guess the consensus is it's better to stick with the free weights even if it's a lower weight. I just know there's going to be a mental block to overcome going without a spot again.

Do you feel confident that it's healthy enough to play a basketball game without giving out? I would definitely make sure that my ankle was healthy before putting weight on my back and risking a spine injury.

If you're really worried about it, I would not discount going and doing hack squats on a sled machine and/or leg presses. At least you'll kind of keep yourself in the game so that when you feel more comfortable you can get back to squats without having lost much progress due to injury.
