Skyy's outside shooting wasn't the same after he came back from the injury.

Before the injury, he was shooting 49% on three-pointers on a decent sample of 70 attempts. After he shot 35% on 54 attempts.

Of course, the earlier sample included quite a few "buy games" against weaker opponents, so I filtered those out.

If you just consider games against P5 opponents prior to his injury, Sky was shooting 51% (26 of 51) on his threes.

So there was a significant dropoff after he came back from the injury. Was the calf still affecting him? Did he lose a bit of confidence? I have no idea.

His defense and effort were still there, but his shooting wasn't.
