Supposedly a quad isn’t the kind of injury which has long term effects once it is fixed.
But, as Brand said, the problem is that damage to one part of a bit man’s lower body ends up throwing everything out of whack.

Here’s a quick look at notable NBA players to sustain serious quadriceps injuries in recent years:
Blake Griffin
Date: Dec. 25, 2015
Nature of injury: Griffin had a partially torn quadriceps tendon. He told reporters the quad started bothering him in early December 2015, and he played a few more weeks before the pain became too strong to continue.
Recovery: Griffin missed more than three months and 45 games before returning to the Clippers on April 3, 2016.
Stats: His numbers stayed about the same after his injury. Griffin averaged 21.4 points and 8.4 rebounds in the season when he got hurt, and 21.6 points and 8.1 rebounds the next season.
Tony Parker
Date: May 3, 2017
Nature of injury: Parker ruptured his left quadriceps tendon in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. His San Antonio teammates carried him off the court.
Recovery: Parker, who was two weeks shy of his 35th birthday when he got hurt, had surgery May 5. He missed the rest of the 2017 playoffs and the first 19 games of the 2017-18 regular season. Parker returned to action Nov. 27, nearly seven months after his injury.
Stats: Parker averaged 10.9 points and 4.5 assists in the regular season preceding his injury. His numbers fell to 7.7 points and 3.5 assists the next season (playing fewer minutes per game), though he increased his scoring this season for Charlotte (9.5 average).
Kawhi Leonard
Date: May 14, 2017
Nature of injury: Leonard got injured in Game 1 of the West finals against the Warriors. The injury was later diagnosed as right quadriceps tendinopathy.
Recovery: Leonard’s rehab became a source of lingering tension with the Spurs, as he preferred to consult his own doctors. He missed all but nine games of the 2017-18 season and ultimately was traded to Toronto in July 2018.
Stats: Leonard averaged career highs of 26.6 points and 7.3 rebounds this season for the Raptors.
De’Aaron Fox
Date: Dec. 14, 2017
Nature of injury: Fox initially bruised his thigh in a game against the Timberwolves. He aggravated the injury Dec. 19, prompting the MRI exam that revealed a partially torn quad muscle.
Recovery: Fox missed six games before returning Jan. 2, 2018.
Stats: Fox scored 17 points in his first game back for the Kings, and he since has turned into one of the league’s most dynamic young players. He averaged 11.6 points last season as a rookie, then 17.3 points this season.
Victor Oladipo
Date: Jan. 23, 2019
Nature of injury: Oladipo ruptured his right quadriceps tendon in Indiana’s game against Toronto.
Recovery: He had surgery five days later. The Pacers didn’t immediately announce a timetable for Oladipo’s recovery, but he missed the final three months of the regular season and will not return for the playoffs.
Stats: Oladipo, age 26, was averaging 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists at the time of his injury.

The most applicable comparison I see there is Blake because he is a big man as opposed to a guard or wing.
While his form returned, he is also so injury prone it isn’t funny.

I agree. Charles Barkley only played in one more game after his quad tear.
It is a serious injury. The bigger the body, the harder the rigors of gravity are upon a person.

It's not strides in treatment nearly as much as a big man issue with regards to weight and lower body.
I think Barkley was also about 12-15 years into his career at that point, so he was already starting to fall out of the league before the injury finished him off.

probably an overcompensation injury from his achilles not being all the way right. Very common.
