Akok achilles

[UconnPT2007]

By video, looked to be an Achilles tear. If so, a tragic, massive blow to the kid. Let’s hope for the best.

Just confirmed it on the broadcast. Dude is crying like crazy... feel terribly for him

We’ve been saying “when are we gonna get a break“ for a while now. And now this happens. It’s really unbelievable.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Dang!! So sad for him.

 

[Ts5034]

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

 

[BugsyCT]

SMH I feel bad for the kid and can’t help but feel snakebit with these injuries the last few years. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

 

[GetTheFacts]

Hurley tearing up on the sideline. Really sad.

 

[AdamaNation]

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

A year?

 

[Rocktheworld]

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

Depends on strain vs tear vs rupture

they said torn on the broadcast... everyone is different, and everyone returns to the court with different degrees of comfort even after recovery. Doubt he’s playing any serious basketball for at least a year.

 

[calluke]

Is this confirmed? I see him on the bench with no ice or anything.

 

[methodology]

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

About a year

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

Breanna Stewart just came back from this injury it took slightly less than a year.

Is this confirmed? I see him on the bench with no ice or anything.

They said it on the broadcast. He’s also wearing a boot/air cast.

 

[Matrim55]

What is the recovery time for that type of injury?

A year to play again. Usually 18 months to be close to 90% of what you were athletically before the injury.

Almost nobody returns to 100% of what they were.

 

[Kajik]

A year give or take a month

 

[nomar]

Poor kid.

 

[Mike Honcho]

This sucks.

We roasted the last strength & conditioning guy and assigned him blame for all of the injuries that afflicted the Huskies. What about now? Polley, now Akok. Carlton has no lift. Genuinely curious.

 

[UConnMike04]

First of all I feel awful for him. Hard seeing someone whose worked so hard to be in tears and have this happen.

Can we redshirt him next year and if we do does it open another scholarship? I’m obv trying to be sensitive with the injury but also curious how his spot can/will be filled?

 

[Ts5034]

Oh god. I really hope he is ok. Our players have had bad luck with injuries. This is getting to be too much. Gilbert, Larrier, Polley, and now Akok.

 

[superjohn]

Akok is one of the hardest workers we've ever had. Devastating.

 

[Husk04ies]

My heart breaks for the kid

I'm pretty sure you know the answer to this. If he's out the entire year he still takes a scholarship.

Hoping for the best for Akok. Just stinks.

 

[amidagoat]

This is so sad.

You really want to turn this thread into an argument over the S&C coach? Go away.

 

[Fatroony5]

Can’t remember ever being so deflated from an injury to a UConn kid. Just feel awful for him. Watching his emotions on the bench was devastating, really hope he can find some peace with the injury and come back strong.

 

[Giddyup5]

Hard to care about the outcome of the game. Hopefully he gets it repaired this week.
