Castle injury update

[JB75]

Damn. Big letdown. He was the one guy I really wanted to see against these big teams the next few weeks. Now he’s never gonna experience those games , Welp only positive is Ball gets a whole lot more run. Stupid dumb Wolfpack hockey XL slippery floor(if that’s what it was)

 

[AntG168]

Having to play our non castle freshmen even more minutes against Kansas is terrifying

I mean it’s not like they have anyone better on their bench. Some said we had “the best starting 5 in the country”. One injury shouldn’t mean we can’t win these games. We’ll just need Ball to break out a little sooner

 

[Drame]

We are not entitled to the information just because we're fans.

Exactly. Privacy goes along with health.

 

[Waquoit]

It’s not entitlement, teams regularly disclose timelines, we don’t really.

Yeah, it is.

 

[BGesus4]

Ppl acting like Hurley being cagey with the information made the injury worse

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Hurley's quote sounds bad but what I heard seemed more optimistic for it to be a few weeks.

I can't even recall seeing the play he got injured or him going down or anything. I wonder if they are just taking every precaution they can with how much money he stands to make next year in the draft.

Live I seen it. He slipped on the baseline

I heard yesterday that he got a minor procedure done and the timeline was 2-4 weeks.

Curious, I know it would be pure speculation, but what might a "minor procedure" be?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

It is entitlement: some teams disclose timelines, some don't. Regardless, fans aren't entitled to the information. It is Castle's private medical information. Just because some people give information, doesn't mean you have to. This seems pretty simple.

I wouldn’t use the word entitlement but to each his own. What I would say is the misdirection given in the pre and post game as to what an actual injury/timeline would be is the annoying part. It’s just the inconsistency of the information on it.

He certainly doesn’t owe anyone any information, but a consistent message when you do divulge is most ideal.

Gut punch. Ban the XL.

That sounds a lot better. That Tweet had me like

It wasn’t inconsistencies. They didn’t have the MRI

 

[CardiacAndre7]

He suggested varying levels of severity in the post game press conference

 

[AntG168]

We’re about to see way too much Diarra

Nah I think we’ll see more Ross and Stewart. We need the size on the wing

 

[AntG168]

Ehh, the overwhelming sentiment was we’d have more information later in the week. I feel like that was made clear

Fair

I pray that is all there is. A minor procedure.
On top of that, I pray your source is solid.

 

[k-walk]

We’re about to see way too much Diarra

Please no anything but that

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Please no anything but that

He’s kinda our only defender that can consistently stay in front of quick guards

 

[EROCK CONN]

This sucks - most especially for Castle. But better now than in March. It's also amazing how we had basically no major injuries last year.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

It is entitlement: some teams disclose timelines, some don't. Regardless, fans aren't entitled to the information. It is Castle's private medical information. Just because some people give information, doesn't mean you have to. This seems pretty simple.

Two things can be true:

1) We're not "entitled" to the medical information.
2) As fans of a sports team, it is frustrating to get such vague information, even with #1 being true.

 

[UconnFanDC]

Saying does not appear doesn't say much. And indicates we won't know until we evaluate later on. Sigh

 

[Son of Robert]

Solo Ball just might bust out sooner. I was rewatching the first half of MVU on TV; I attended the XL for the game, and watching on TV is different, so what jumped out was Solo has the green light to score the ball. He was very aggressive with his possessions, taking it to the rim, shooting 3's, and even a pull-up jumper in the lane. Starting and with more minutes, when he gets confident and comfortable out there these next few games, look out.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Well I guess it is what it is. I wish there was more context. Like is it a strained or sprained ligament. Is it meniscus just something to help us deal with the bad news. Not season ending could be anything from needing minor surgery or just rest.

 

[uconnever]

Please no anything but that

Lol, it’s just his offense is non existent. When he shoots a 3 when he’s wide open, I’m on my couch at home and I know it’s not going in. Way too funny. How is it that I can shoot better than some of these guys that live basketball. I shot around yesterday for the first time in 3 years and shot better than him in a pickup game.
