Clingan Out for Month

[Hey Adrien!]

Hopefully this is just a one off and he's good to go for the season.

Better now than in-season. Sucks, but it will be a great opportunity for Samson and Singare to step up and show what they've got.

 

[REB1094]

Need to give him the full amount of recovery time and then some. Foot injuries for players that size are no joke. Might even be worth sitting out the first couple of cupcake games if he’s not feeling 110% by then

 

[Tampahusky]

Noooooo… we are doomed !!!

Big man + foot injury is a terrible combo. Hoping for the best.

Really need those guys to be ready, especially Sampson.

 

[Scrutineer]

Not good news after all the euphoria over the lineup and how good some of the freshmen appear to be..........but, way better than a stress "reaction" or worse.

 

[krinklecut]

Sounds like he’ll be fine. Weren’t AJ and Hawkins out the first few games last season?

 

[Greg]

This is a problem for a man his size.

 

[navery12]

Glad the timeline ends before the season starts, but foot injuries for a big man are always concerning

 

[BGesus4]

Hopefully soft tissue injury

Your Freudian slipping of a "p" into Samson's name in a thread about injuries to 7-footers made me shudder

This 100% correct. Lean towards being over cautious and ensure that he fully recovers. Cupcake games would be nic, but if he has to skip them so be it

Prob better that there was a specific point of injury as opposed to building over time

Not the worst thing if he misses them. Give Samson and Singare some reps and experience. Will benefit us later in the season.

Singare and Samson getting those minutes vs the cupcakes will be huge for sure. Those minutes are “for real” that are much more significant then practices but don’t have too much pressure either.

 

[MJKI]

Sucks but that’s why Dan said the season relies on depth. Relying on a 7’3” big man to play 25 mpg and 35+ games was always going to be tough, and this will give Samson valuable time to practice with the first team. The season already hinges on how our team backed up Clingan, so better now to figure it out than mid December

Is a foot sprain what we used to call an ankle sprain?

 

[FlexOnEm]

Bummer. Better to play it cautious, especially with a big man having a foot injury. We’ll survive with Samson at the 5 for the first couple of games.

 

[bendm]

KU game isnt until 12/1

Strain, not sprain

NOT a foot doctor but would imagine this is much more in the area of plantar fasciitis/arch sprains than ankle related
