Any updates on Caroline's condition?

Hi, I know Caroline's surgery went well, but does anyone know what her timeframe is for being able to play again? Will she be able to start practicing later this month or possibly in July? Thanks.

I don’t think there has been any published timetable. However looking at some articles by orthopedists, it appears that a typical recovery time for an athlete is 3 to 4 months. Obviously it would be longer before the athlete returned to peak form.

The last time I heard Geno mention her, he said she could practice a little in August, and be fully ready to go when the season starts.

When Napheesa had surgery for her torn rt labrum in April 2016 she was playing full court in July.

Caroline is off crutches in the recent videos and seems to be moving well.

Two publish articles regarding her surgery indicated: 1) Caroline was expected to be a non-participant in the summer workouts sessions 2) She was expected to be fully recovered to start the 2022-23 season which is return to campus in late August and season starting in November.
This was almost the exact timetable for Crystal Dangerfield who had hip surgery in May of 2019 and was ready by the start of the season .

I think this the most realistic appraisal. She will start some basketball things in late summer and be ready for the season.

Can't wait to see her play fully healthy.
