Reading your reply reminded me of the old SNL skit with Chevy Chase giving the news for the hard of hearing.
Yep, a black and blue from banging knees.
Lol……my favorite is “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”
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.
He looked and sounded perfectly normal at the presser. He was not sounding normal in December.
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 didn't see a lot of impact and that's what worries me.
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 basketball
On afternoon shadows in the Yankee Stadium outfield: "It gets late early out there."
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.
Yes you could be.
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.
I am hoping to find out tomorrow night around 7PM or have I missed an announcement?
Imagining a scenario whereby Azzi sees the doctor today (she'll miss practice if there is one) and with just a shoot around Tuesday I would expect them to hold her out of the Seton Hall game before having her return to practice at the end of the week.
“Pair up in three’s”
In Azzi's first game back from her current injury, her entire leg was in a wrap. Go back to the St. John's game and have a look. The G'town game was different. In that game, only Azzi's knees were wrapped. I noticed it right away and thought "OK, she doesn't need as much support as she needed first game back. She must be ready for less restraint to give her better mobility."
Whew! You sound optimistic. Some of your other posts recently have made you sound like the anti-Tony
I remember Sean Elliot of U OF A, Tucson, playing effective as a Wildcat with his
To my eyes "upon further review", there was a buckle. but we'll find out soon,
Doesn’t everyone’s knee buckle if someone knees you in the back of the knee? We used to do it on the school yard as little game.
We have some of everything and everybody here, including orthopedic surgeons and other specialists. Nolefan, it is what it is. There’s no place like this place near this place, so this must be the place. That’s why the yard is so popular with WCBB fans across the country. The numbers speak for themselves.
