Gilbert's shoulder

[GemParty]

Any updates if he got a stinger or is he in trouble again?

I know he went down hard in the MSU game. Got rejected and crashed to the court. As the Spartans transitioned up court Alterique writhed in pain where he landed. Left the court and bench for a bit then returned.

Did I miss something yesterday?

Immediately we won the tip and he wouldn't reach with his left arm to catch it before it went out of bounds. No one noticed but I did. Then he ran around with his left elbow up when ever he was guarding or not handling the ball, there is a problem there and I'm going to guess this can never be a good thing again.

Change yo game obviously you have a brace for a reason so why are you attacking the rim throwing up these praying off balance layups while the bigs are right there, use the floater , take the foul line jay or better yet pass or throw the lob but I forgot when he does throw the lob it’s a turnover.. I’m just tired of seeing him hit the floor every single game so far

He scored one point, & reporters said playing time & performance was limited due to an irritated shoulder. Not good for a guy with multiple surgeries.

So talented but if Ollie survives he'll have to recruit over Alterique . Bring him off the bench the rest of the season and possibly his Uconn career . It's horrible but MAL was "recruiting over" Alterique and we would've been better off with AG coming off the bench. Oh well. Smh

Poor kid. McDs AA to barely able to lift his arm. Wish him health on and off the court

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but once you've had multiple instability episodes and revision surgery after a surgical failure there is a much higher likelihood of both ongoing mild instability and of risk of re-dislocation. If I could have said one thing to him before the season, it's that the highest risk activities for him in basketball would be diving for loose balls, getting outmuscled on rebounds, and crashing in uncontrolled fashion to the floor. He's done the latter multiple times in each game on his drives to the hoop. One thing only he and the surgeon know are what type of instability operation was performed, and is there an issue of glenoid or Hill-Sachs bone loss/deficiency from his injuries.

He may need some rest and rehab time, and then he'll need to deal with it all season. I hope he can keep those three game situations under some control the rest of the season.

Thanks Doc. Thing is with his inability to use his arm the other day no way he should even play he can't guard, can't go hard left on the dribble and won't rebound or reach. Love the kids passion to play through it but CV or AA will need to play more if it is going to be like this. Hopefully some rest helps but I'm afraid this will be chronic for the poor kid.

Wait, Gilbert has a golf ball in his shoulder?

That's the problem. He needs to have at least a women's collegiate soft ball in his shoulder. Smh

Too bad for AG. But don’t forget we have 4 years of this kid. He will do big things for us.

Hoping so man. Hate to see his talent get derailed by injury.

Not so sure as this is a recurring theme with him the last 3 years. Sounds like he will be only good for limited minutes off the bench.

Amore tweeted that larrier practiced today but Alterique (and Cobb) didn’t. Very concerned for the kid.

Larrier to play tomorrow. Gilbert and Cobb "day to day."

They need to get the Top Flite out then and get a ProVx in there immediately.

 

[Chief00]

I am still NOT optimistic on Gilbert. I really feel for the kid.

 

[LIuconn]

Same. "day to day" after what we saw over the weekend, after yet another operation? ugh

The staff needs to recruit like he is no longer on the team and treat anything we get from him as gravy. We can't keep having seasons blown up because AG can't play.

Tremont Waters should be our starting point guard right now.

If you are telling me Waters would be here if not for AG all I can say is I hope that is not true. That would be coaching malpractice.

They were recruited in different years. And... oh never mind.

The only time DO has used his strength this season was ripping Gilbert’s arm off helping him up. Smh
