An actual doctor sez …

I’m going to trust Paige’s doctors. I’m not going to look up information on the Internet and make a prognosis.

Having said that, I did find useful this discussion of her injury by a doctor at the Mayo Clinic.

This was excellent. Thank you for sharing.

Plan on not having Paige the rest of the season. If she comes back, it's a bonus. The other players need to step up and have the mindset that it's their show now. It shouldn't be about holding down the fort until she returns to save them. There is a lot of talent on this team and they need to play to their potential.

On the OP, what I take from this Drs. statement is that 20 years ago this would simply be defined as a 'bone bruise' but with better technology (MRI) they can see tiny fracture (lines) that probably exist in almost all 'bone bruises.' The announced recovery timeline defines the 'fracture' as being minimal
