Episode 151 - NATA overview

We are going to release a slew of excellent episodes over the next few weeks, all of which, were recorded at the NATA annual meeting 2026, held in Philadelphia. We will likely be posting two episodes per week, and this one serves as both an overview and wrap up of what is on the horizon!

Ep. 151: Adolis García Lat Surgery & Malik Nabers Knee Cleanup

Welcome back to Sports Medicine on Tap! Grab a drink and pull up a chair as Dr. Brandon Olaya, DAT, ATC, along with Dr. Steven Frey and Dr. Nick Bertha, break down the biggest injury headlines across professional sports this week. On this episode: • Adolis García (Philadelphia Phillies): We dive into the biomechanics of his season-ending latissimus dorsi repair surgery. Why does the late-cocking phase of throwing put this massive muscle at risk, and what does a bone-anchor repair look like on the table? • Malik Nabers (NY Giants): Don't let the "minor cleanup" headlines fool you. We discuss the reality of a secondary knee scope, the formation of a cyclops lesion after an ACL/meniscus repair, and what this timeline means for his rookie season. • Finals War of Attrition: The medical bills are dropping from the NHL Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA Finals. From Mark Stone skating on a torn adductor to Jalen Brunson's terrifying Game 1 knee buckle, we debate the line between championship grit and clinical risk. 📍 HEADED TO NATA IN PHILADELPHIA?
