I missed the game. Did they say anything about how long he'll be out?
Concussion. Could be a couple of days, could be weeks.
For all the bad calls in that game (all against us), that wasn't one of them. They were both going for the ball, the other guy got their first. Pretty cut and dry call.Very ugly collision (and of course a foul on the guy got knocked out.) He'd be lucky if he didn't do some damage to his shoulder as well. He landed very awkwardly.
When did it happen? I missed the game and haven't watched the replay. I watched the box score updates and obviously frequent here so I know exactly how the game went; no real desire to watch the replay.Can someone with head trauma experience fill us in?
Maybe you already did?

But I do have a fair amount of TBI experience so I'll watch that part and speak on it if I feel I have something to say
I've had several concussions and they all affect you differently. Some of the minor ones I've gotten like from soccer and motorcycle accident left me out of commission for a week or 2. The worst one I got was snowboarding and that one knocked me out like it appears the one Jalen got did. That one bothered me for months. I was back playing soccer and snowboarding within probably 2 or 3 weeks but I had terrible migraines which I still get occasionally years later.
My guess is he's out about 2 weeks, but I'd expect him to be pretty tentative when he returns. Depending on how many (if any) prior concussions he's had it only gets worse
When I look at the replay it reminds me of a boxer taking a wicked shot to the head the way it snapped back so fast and far and would certainly been a KO or TKO if he were inExactly. No set amount of time for such things. But somehow I doubt it was the "couple of days" variety.
