Bouknight has hyperextended elbow

He came back to play, was in some pain and was clearly limited, but that would seem to indicate it's not a severe injury.

Yup. Could’ve been a much worse diagnosis.

Just going with the news. If it's a plain ole hyperextension, he should he okay.

I appreciate hustle and diving for loose balls, but that play should have been a foul. His arms was extended and the player jumped on top of it. I've seen guys jumping on players legs and even the occasional head.

It's different when players are airborne and someone reaches, but sooner or later somebody is going to get hurt bad. The NCAA shouldn't wait, and then overreact which they do. They'll start throwing kicking guys out of games. Just get ahead of it before someone breaks a leg or dislocates a shoulder.
 
Hyperextension doesn't mean much without knowing the severity. But he did come back into the game so that's at least a decent sign it might not be too serious.

That's my concern. With sprained ankles, lots of times players can come back in the game where it gets injured, but once the blood stops pumping it swells up and they have to miss time. I'm hoping this injury isn't similar in that regard.

Reminded me of that play where DWade fell on Rondo’s arm. Could have been much much much worse. Will definitely be sore for a few days. I wouldn’t have him do anything until Saturday.

I have a UConn plastic street sign and one for the Cowboys that hang above my tv. I had switched the Cowboys one to the front on Sunday, but forgot to switch it back to Huskies before the game. I noticed when we were down 18 (right around that point, at the TV timeout) and switched it back. We immediately went on the run to take the lead then.

You can safely tuck away that Cowboys sign for the next 9 months. General rule of thumb is Cowboys signs get put away after last regular season game.

True, but if the biggest issue is swelling and there's no structural damage, then we very likely dodged a bullet. Swelling is manageable and treatable in the short term with pretty simple therapies. Also the fact that it's his non-dominant shooting elbow increases his ability to play through it.

I'm not an expert, but I suspect the biggest determination is risk of more serious injury if he plays.

Nah, we've gotten to the playoffs a few times over the last decade, and even won some playoff games. The divisional round is where we usually tap out.

The star seemed to revel in his role as decoy. That goes to team chemistry so much I can barely stand it. He's becoming an all-timer for me.

bouknight coming in and playing through pain to act as a decoy and allow his teammates to shine absolutely cements him as an all timer.
