Reading your reply reminded me of the old SNL skit with Chevy Chase giving the news for the hard of hearing.He said the doc's taking a look at it right now, explains that Azzi was going through the lane and bumped knees (tweaked it) with another player. Also that they'll know more when they look at it, and it's par for the course.
The tv camera zoomed in on Azzi’s knee for a close up shot, and you could see a fairly large bruise on her knee.

Yep, a black and blue from banging knees.The tv camera zoomed in on Azzi’s knee for a close up shot, and you could see a fairly large bruise on her knee.
Lol……my favorite is “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”The injuries are becoming like the film “Groundhog Day” or like the Yogi Berra quote "It's like deja vu all over again."
I thought he looked much better than his pre absence presser?

I think what you saw was a big scar from prior surgery. That was after she took the ice pack off and gave a two-thumbs-up to her parents in the stands. After the game, she was seen on the court wearing her normal knee pad again, giving another thunbs-up. Also, the slo-mo replay seemed to show little or no contact with the other player's knee.The tv camera zoomed in on Azzi’s knee for a close up shot, and you could see a fairly large bruise on her knee.
He looked and sounded perfectly normal at the presser. He was not sounding normal in December.He looked bad then but he doesn't look that much better now IMO.
Her face spoke volumes while giving her parents a thumbs up. I wouldn't believe her hand signals for a second if she was my kid. Not with that look on her face. I don't think she'll be playing on Tuesday. Let's hope I'm very wrong.I think what you saw was a big scar from prior surgery.

I didn't see a lot of impact and that's what worries me.I think what you saw was a big scar from prior surgery.

I am surprized the clip of the injury isn't available. I could definitely be wrong, but it looked to me that the knee buckled slightly. The original injury was a hyper extension of the knee, which indicates to me that it is still not strong enough to withstand the rigors of basketballI didn't see a lot of impact and that's what worries me.

When you come back from injury, you are naturally tentative. Imagine skiing and through the entire run, you are bracing yourself for a fall. You're stiff and not free. Odds are you fall. Azzi has to get through this phase and move into the freedom of movement phase. Probably affects her shot as well.I am surprized the clip of the injury isn't available.

I suspect that our college athletes now have better braces and supports than many of us can find on our own. I'v had a lifetime of knee issues and surgeries culminating in 2 TKAs (total knee replacements) and I have never found any brace or support that did not put artificial and undue pressure on one or another part of the knee, most often the knee cap.Way back in the day, players with injuries wore heavy knee braces, usually containing metal rods. Cleary, they don't wear them any more. But it seems to me Azzi needs a sturdier knee brace. Yes, I know I'm not a doctor, but I am a former athlete who suffered his share of knee injuries. I wonder what kind of knee protection Azzi is wearing, other than just padding.
