I read where he has been dealing with some knee issues in the Courant. Does anyone know if this is a chronic situation or just an incident of tendinitis or something similar?

Team didn't practice yesterday, and he got treatment. I understand its a game time decision. I expect he'll give it a go, but will be delicately managed.

My one fear with Akok has been an injury of some sort, especially given his slight build. If he can stay healthy, he has such a high ceiling. We really missed him in the second half against Xavier. Having a great rim protector really chamges the game.

Might not be good. Link: Akok's Status

Hopefully it's an over reaction as was the sprained ankle for Al.

Probably best to hold him out tbh. That gives him 9 straight days off. No need to mess with a big guy's knees early in the year.

I suspect his knee flare ups will closely track his post defense.

This is why one should never rely on Yard health reports. I never learn.
dr. boneyard never lies, it's just that sometimes, she's drunk as a skunk. blotto. pro tip -smell her breath, then decide.

I get being cautious, but he looks completely healthy today. Keeping him out on Friday may have cost us that game.
