A lot of players seem to be getting serious knee injuries these days. Anyone know if it’s on the increase, or just a recency/availability bias in my head?

Is there any open data available on injuries we can interrogate?

    Minimalist and low drop shoes became popular among people in their early 20s in the mid 2000s. This was right around the time of the beginning of the obesity epidemic.

    Knee injuries are indeed on the rise among professional athletes according to a quick Google search.
