She’s fine. If the season started tomorrow she’d be in the starting lineup

With the season just a few weeks away, the worst news possible is Paige is hurt again.I hope it is not serious enough to not have her play at the opening exhibition game. Let's start the season in one piece,PLEASE!!! GO PAIGE!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

In a previous thread we saw Paige's wrist and thumb heavily taped. At first night it was a much smaller tape job and just on the thumb, nothing on the wrist. Hopefully that is a good sign.

If you have every played basketball, a jammed thumb is not uncommon. Let's not get carried away with this.

I am sure by the time we play our first game, Paige will be healthy and ready to give 100% out there.

What’s the big deal? She’s got 9 other fingers….

Wonder what the line is on either Paige or Azzi or Caroline playing in every game this season. Definitely not a bet I'm taking without huge odds.

Is it really necessary for any of them or all of them to play every single game for UConn's season to be successful (as in winning #12)? If two of them miss 5 or fewer games, and the third misses fewer than 10 games (and none in the NCAA tournament), then the season can be successful.

Ah, finally the thread I was anticipating to happen much sooner

I doubt Paige would play in an exhibition game even if healthy.

In all my years of playing bball, I've had fingers or thumb taped more often than not and still played. With fingers it's easier since you can tape them together. The thumb just needs to be stiffened a little bit with a wrap.

True, but now she can only text with one thumb.

I wish I had said that…
