Hawkins injury.

[UconnU]

Jordan has to be in all our thoughts and prayers here. If it is a concussion that would be at least 3 for him.

Absolutely terrible

Kid cannot catch a break. Feel terrible for him.

 

[GotNets?]

What happened ? I looked away for like five minutes

 

[RayRay]

Let’s hope we get a good update…he was in tears on the bench.

Went for a rebound & came crashing down on his backside - head bounced off hardwood. Given his concussion struggles last year, just heartbreaking to see.

One would think he’s going to be out for a few games, at the very least.

Looked like whiplash on TV. Seriously can’t catch a break.

I just saw it live, no interest in watching it back. Looked live like he fell hard on his back and head snapped back and hit the floor hard. It was kind of difficult to see because there was a bunch of traffic.

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest Hurley and his staff have to gameplan not having Hawkins playing consistently.

Hurley has to have one of the coaches consider a lineup and strategy where Hawkins is a bench player and a nice bonus when available and not game plan on him being a starter playing 25+ mpg and scoring around 15 ppg.

Any updates on the TV? Looked pretty nasty from here

I do think that’s hyperbole. Hurley just said he thought he was a first round pick. And we literally know nothing about his actual injury yet.

All we can do is hope for the best for Jordan. No official news yet.

The upside is basketball players don’t usually hit their heads too often. I played a ton of basketball until I was in my late 20’s and only hit my head hard once. I definitely had a concussion from it. Should have gone to the ER.

Hopefully, he gets better and stops having bad luck. He’s had far more hits than average.

I'm surprised to see these two takes from the same poster.

The downside is, unfortunately Jordan has seemed to hit his head often

Hopefully, he’s not one of those snake bit guys. Very bad luck.

They aren't contradictory. He'll likely miss a couple games. But it's hyperbole to jump to the conclusion that Hurley can never use him as more than a bench player for the rest of his career

 

[Incursio007]

Want him to feel 100% cognitively before seeing the floor again. Basketball is just a game - hope he doesn’t rush a return. Praying for him!

I know two people who suffered concussions playing hockey. It messed both of them up to the point they stopped playing.

Went for a rebound & came crashing down on his backside - head bounced off hardwood. Given his concussion struggles last year, just heartbreaking to see.

The scariest part was that after a minute or so on the ground, he stood up on his own and then immediately sat back down.

 

[REB1094]

I feel so bad for him. Guy can never catch a break

 

[Kitaman]

Was the 'pick' concussion more neck (whiplash) than the head? He was upright for that one, and his head didn't seem to be in contact with that player.

 

[superjohn]

I'm really worried about his future playing basketball. This has been a real bummer of an opening night of college basketball.

Re-read your original wording. You've toned things down here. AND, you've argued against your posts being "contradictory," which wasn't my claim.

But it's hyperbole to jump to the conclusion that Hurley can never use him as more than a bench player for the rest of his career

Re-read the post you quoted. Then read how you characterized it. I say that it's hyperbolic (by you) to write that somebody "jump[ed] to the conclusion that Hurley can never use him as more than a bench player for the rest of his career."

It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
