Hawkins injury.

GemParty said:
On Coaches radio show tonight, Hurley said symptoms are mild, Jordan’s still getting looked at. No timetable can be said for a return.

For those that like the transcript:

"It's in the hands of the doctors, there were relatively mild symptoms which is great news for Jordan [Hawkins]. It is about going through the process w/ the great medical staff we have here. How I sit here today I can't give you a timetable"

Given the information that's been released about injuries previously I'd bet the opposite is true: no news is he's not playing. I would really like to be wrong because I want to see what this kid can do but I'd be shocked if he plays on Friday.

Generally I’d agree, but with so much time between Monday and Friday, it’d be very cautious to hold him out with nothing diagnosed.

I have been involved with youth sports and concussions. Sometimes a kid takes a big hit to the head and no concussion and other times a kid doesn't appear to have taken a hit to the head and the kid has a concussion. My point is that you can not tell if someone will get a concussion from the incident, but you have to rely on the symptoms and have a doctor do the diagnosis. When in doubt, sit them out. From my experience, if a kid can sit on the bench after the incident, the kid probably doesn't have a bad concussion.
 
The mild symptoms Hurley is talking about might just be from the whiplash injury to his neck. We don't even know if he has been officially diagnosed with a concussion at this point. Hurly did not say "mild concussion symptoms"

3 concussions in a 7-8 month span. If I was his parent with his potential future... I'd insist he sit a game or two.

Really makes you laugh at the ole mid 80s and 90s NFL where guys would get 2-3 concussions a game, then get sent back out to block on a kick return.

No harm in putting him on a pitch count. Be careful with his minutes but let him build some confidence and stamina. Don't start him. Give him a few minutes off the bench and increase the minutes over a couple of weeks
 
You can be mildly concussed and pass those tests. If “mild symptoms” are neurological-PCS that’s concerning. PCS can take a long time to go away.
 
I would imagine there is some standard he will have to meet in practice before he can return to game action. Down here in Florida, the high school football protocol requires 5 consecutive practices without an event that triggers any symptoms. There must be something similar in this case.

Yeah I wish Hurley was a bit more clear on the status. You can have a gnarly headache from knocking your head and whiplash not have a concussion. I would call that "mild symptoms" if that happened to me. You can also have mild concussion symptoms which means a definite 1-2 week recovery time. Either way, he'll be out tomorrow night.

Him not saying that he's in the protocol leads me to believe it's the former and not the latter...

Some of us can scarcely remember a time when we didn't have "symptoms". My guess is they sit him because it's BU, and we probably don't need him. Gives Hurley some more time to evaluate other guys while being careful with Jordan. I don't see any good argument for playing him even if he could play.
 
Sheesh....8 pages on this. Y'all are a dedicated bunch:D

Just get back healthy.....and Hurley should really have a 'Come to Jesus' talk with the kid about body control when driving the lane.

I dont see any good argument sitting him if he is cleared.


Either he is cleared or he isn't. If he is. Play him. If he isn't. Sit him.


This stuff in the Hurley regime with the injury report shenanigan's (see: elbow, Bouknight) is just wholly unnecessary. And If Jordan is cleared he absolutely needs the floor time. The couple rapid 3 chucks he took before unfortunately hitting his head were ill advised and just not good basketball befitting of someone who has a ton of expectations on him (NBA 1st round according to his coach) . Good shooters don't miss that badly unless they are BAD shots. He needs minutes.

Clear him or don't, I want him safe, not coddled.

This is what concerns me most as well.

He tried to get up but had no legs underneath him. And it's been like that all three times so far.

Well, that happens to prize fighters from the jolt of their brain hitting some part of their skull (= KO). Not sure how that translates but it certainly looked like a TKO if not a KO. I agree with your concern.

Frustrating as a fan, but I’m actually happy that he does this in the interest of the player & his future.
