The UCL keeps the inside of the elbow tight and in-line.

Imagine shooting the ball with your forearm wobbly in the lateral axis (left-to-right). Keeping your elbow "in" won't necessarily keep your forearm from wandering off at an angle.

There's also risk of dislocation if he falls and puts that arm out to brace himself.

Other symptoms:
- Elbow stiffness & inability to straighten the elbow
- Tingling or numbness in the two outside fingers and hand
- Weakness, loss of dexterity in hand grip

I'm neither sure how well Skyler can play this season, nor how long he will play this season. Story developing...
