Cooper Flagg Injury

[StllH8L8ner]

I’m generally okay with anything bad happening in the Duke basketball world. Cooper seems like a good kid, but once you choose another school over us, you’re dead to me.

I don't think the cost of an MRI would stop Flagg getting an MRI if insurance denied it.

Duke or someone else would cover it

There is still a process - even for D1 athletes.

 

[uh-no]

X-rays are a prereq. in order to get an MRI for insurance purposes.

lol if you think athletes are subject to these limitations. they get what they need when they need it.

I have not heard any news on him today so far.

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off !
Back in my day if we jumped 5 feet off the ground and snapped our ankle on the landing we would purposely do the other ankle just to balance them out . You got this Coop !

We have been the projected 8/9 game in the East against #1 Duke in Raleigh for the second round for weeks now by Lunardi, for what it's worth.

LMFAO! Funny how last season the tourney committee werent too eager to put Duke/Uconn in the same bracket sending duke to the south for "well, umm, reasons". I hope it happens and we knock them off.

What limitation? There is probably an x-ray machine right in the arena.

My favorite response is always “I wish him the best!” Do we wish the D2 player the best? The random kid at Lehigh you never hear of? If you’re wishing everyone the best then the phrase is meaningless lol. Flagg is going to be the top pick in the draft I don’t have to wish him the best. He picked Duke over us, why should I wish him the best? With all that said obviously I hope he heals up quick.

I wish him the second best.

So Duke today told the NCAA that Flagg is definitely playing in the NCAA tourney, to preserve their seeding, ranking whatever. Now Scheyer said it was a significant sprain and swollen. Didn’t McNeeley have the same thing? He couldn’t play 2 weeks later.

High and low ankle sprains are not equivalent

We will be fine. Cooper is basically the man of steel. We don’t need sympathy or pity. Worry about your own team/players. You have a lot to worry about.

Feels like UConn is destined for the 8/9 game in Raleigh. If we can win the opener we would get Flagg in his first real test since the injury. Can't imagine he plays in a 1/16 game for longer than a few minutes, if at all.
