But those Holiday Inn Express Graduates are always looking for the fastest recovery.

I would expect a full recovery as long as Paige isn't Paige and tries to do too much too soon which we have seen her try to do with other injuries.

What other injury has Paige tried to do too much too soon? She sprained an ankle last year, sat one game and returned to lead the Huskies to the FF while earning every POY award in sight. After the season she had elective surgery on the ankle to repair a chronic underlying problem, rehabbed the hell out of it and came back as good as new.

I am not a doctor and I haven’t stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently, but I have been involved in sports as a player, coach and parent for a good part of my life. I have seen and personally experienced more than my share of injuries.

You cannot compare the ability of an average human being to rehab & recover from an injury with the ability of a young, extremely well-conditioned athlete to recover from a similar injury. In Paige’s case, her age, fitness level, access to a top quality medical/training staff and facilities and her motivation will all be positive factors in her ability to get back on the court soon. Exactly when that will be will ultimately be determined by her doctors and how her body responds to treatment and rehab.

I was referring to the things we saw from the summer after her ankle injury where she kept trying to do more than she was supposed to be doing.

Other than badgering Geno, I think Paige rigorously followed the rehab schedule set up by the medical staff.

Most important statement in Courant story is by Jeff Stotts, an injury analyst and certified athletic trainer who has an extensive background covering sports injuries and has his own NBA injury database. He stated that for NBA players the recovery time for that kind of injury is closer to 10 weeks. But Bueckers physical size is smaller so that's hopefully a good factor.

Maybe some of them involved soft tissue issues?

Beyond that there is a significant difference between the NBA, where much of the game is played above the rim, and WCBB that is largely played below the rim. With the high wire act that the NBA has become, it’s a miracle that more players aren’t injured.

Nice to see a reporter doing the homework that provides good information. Good girl.

Remember that Alexa is a Stanford grad!

I don’t hold that against her.
