Anyone else worried about Adams' injury?

[Excalibur]

He's been held out of a bunch of activities with this "hip injury". I'm pessimistic by nature, but hip issues could really limit his explosiveness and lateral movement (which his game obviously relies on). I really hope that this is something that will get better with the rest he's apparently getting and not something that, if it happened in late spring, he would have had surgery on but is now trying to play through it.

Also FWIW, Adams tweeted "Back and better" 3 days ago. Doesn't seem too serious.

TBH I was also concerned. Considering he missed the Husky Run, and First Night, it seemed like they were 'hiding' something.

 

[HuskiesU]

I didnt think nothing of it. Hes been walking around fine. Just get well and be ready 4 the season opener

 

[James]

Walking around fine and playing at the highest level of college ball are two different things. I am concerned quite a bit, he is the starting pg and injured (missing the husky run and first night and we have no clue what his injury is? There are a number of hip problems ranging from season threatening to minor)

As UConnStats said,

As UConnStats said,

Should we believe what the player himself says or are they "hiding something"?
Even if he isn't 100% now - he still has 2 weeks
IF its still an issue on 9/29, then I'll be a bit concerned

Those are not important events - I will duck! Ha ha

He was practicing and going full speed during practice when the team was split into 2 squads and scrimmaging during Sundays practice.

I didn't see him go to training room after practice either

If it's not too late to vote, mark me down for a solid yes.

Good intel! Goes with your avatar name.

I was thinking about bringing this up but didn't want to dampen any of the excitement that has been building for the season. It definitely worries me. Could be nothing, but I tend to take all hip injuries pretty seriously especially after what happened to Omar (and I know this isn't on that scale, but it's not something I shrug off as I would with say, Brimah's hand injury last season).

Good to hear that he's back practicing.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Just talked to my source, says it was Adams, not Ollie, who decided to sit both events out. He'll be good to go on Sunday.

It its still an issue on 9/29, its SERIOUS.


He's back already though.

There is something in the JI about it today.

Sophomore guard Jalen Adams has been in and out of practice lately due to a thigh bruise, Ollie said. “He’s got a contusion. So when you play basketball, it gets hit a lot. So he’s not 100 percent.” Adams practiced for a good portion of Thursday’s workout but was receiving extra medical attention following it.

I am not going to worry until the poster that went on and on about Oak's back all those years ago tells me to.

If it is indeed a contusion, it's not a worry at all at this point.

WELL NOW I AM

 

[HooperScooper]

From today's Courant.

Adams has been in and out of recent practices because of a sore hip, and a contusion on his left thigh, but says he's feeling a lot better.

"Just doing a little bit more rehabbing to get back to 100 percent," he said. "Right now, I'd say I'm about 99.5. With a week until Sunday, I should be really good."

The Huskies play their first exhibition game Sunday against New Haven.
