Gilbert possibly injured

[intlzncster]

Following this team is rough. Poor kid

 

[Hoophound]

Unreal. Not much else to say.

 

[3rdbass]

Looked bad. I think we have to pick up another guard or grad transfer point guard as we can't count on AG's shoulder holding up. It sucks but it looks like reality with him.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

I’m listening on radio which shoulder did he injure? The same one as the last 2 years?

same same

He took the ice off. I think he’s fine, I think it scared him more than anything. He seemed in good spirits which is telling

 

[HawkHusky]

He was smiling and took the ice off his shoulder before the end of the game. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I was encouraged when I saw him moving his left arm while walking over to the bench. Crossing my fingers.

It looked more stinger than dislocation.

He was immobilizing his own arm by grabbing his shirt, I've done it.

I will be testing the power of prayer -- and I'm an agnostic.

Posted in the Briefs, thought it should go here too. As you can see I’m a glass half full kind of guy.

Re Gilbert’s injury.
Tough one. Obviously I wasn’t there. But here are some things to remember.

1. With 3 surgeries already if the X-rays don’t show a fracture or failed fixation, there won’t be any more surgery.
2. He used the arm to push himself up off the floor, good sign.
3. He returned to the bench, another good sign.
4. This episode should remind everyone that there are no 100% results in surgery.

I’m betting there’ll be ice and rehab, and a chance he misses no games.

The thing it was just a normal pick. Nothing dirty. Just a freak injury.

yeah every time I popped mine out I did that on reflex. I hope he just got a stinger or broke up some scar tissue and it freaked him out. I just feel so bad for the kid.

Per Hurley: “Disaster avoided”

 

[Yankees32123]

phew *wipes brow*

 

[JMick]

Per Hurley: “Disaster avoided”

thank god. what a relief for him

 

[ThabeetDown]

Thank you sweet baby Jesus

So it was just a "Stinger"?

 

[zls44]

I, like everyone else, was physically ill when that happened.

C'mon, God. That's not fair.

 

[Ckhoops]

I sure hope he is ok for Alterique’s sake- kid has been through a couple tough years. Best to you “Rique” - we are pulling for you. Hope Hurley saying day to day is an optimistic sign. UConn nation wishes their best!

So it was just a "Stinger"?

Hurley said he thinks it just scared rique a bit. Didn’t really go into the diagnosis. But it sounds like a stinger

 

[UconnU]

Hurley just said when he heard the line that the trainer and AG were going through he knew it wasn’t serious, said he believes that AG just got scared.

 

[tiger8mush]

did AG not hear Cobb call out the screen? Or did Cobb not say anything? AG looked like he had no idea the screen was there, leading to a hard impact..

It was seriously about to ruin my night. My stomach sank

I can't imagine how terrified the young man must have been in that moment.
