Injury updates?

[NJHusky]

Is it No-well or Now-well?

Is Samson Johnson def out?

 

[Rico444]

There is usually a media session the day before each game, so you'll probably get updates from Hurley this evening.

 

[HooperScooper]

Here, I'll tell you now. Nowell is available. Johnson is not. Who needs to wait until later today to hear it from Hurley?

Que up Dave Borges' Twitter around 4:30 if you want to be the first to know.

From Borges:
The Huskies could be down a key player, as well. Samson Johnson, the senior starting center, left Saturday night's win over Gonzaga early in the game and was put in concussion protocol. His status will be addressed by Hurley on Tuesday afternoon around 4:30 p.m.

 

[HooperScooper]

Just as I said.

 

[Waquoit]

I hate that he's not playing but that was hard fall. He needs to take his time.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

We lose Samson but X loses Freemantle. The interior should be no excuse.

 

[bendm]

most looking forward to seeing Nowell in the rotation.

i hope we are up big in these next few games so he can get a lot of PT and make up for the lost time on his path to becoming our backup PG. if we're up big he wont have to deal with as short of a leash as he might otherwise.

Get better asap Samson, but looking forward to Singare getting his first shot at rotation minutes with practice time.

Nowell hopefully gets worked back into the rotation now, this team needs him to be solid when Diarra isn't on the floor.

From the Register game article.

"He's doing great," Hurley reported, adding that it's possible Johnson could return for Saturday's noon bout at Butler. "Just depends on how he's feeling. He does feel great, he looks great. He'll be back soon."

Sampson practiced today, and could play tomorrow.

Samson.

“He went through all the aspects of practice and he looked good, he feels great. Obviously we’ve got to see how he feels (Saturday) relative to any symptoms, but he’s been feeling really good the last couple of days,” Hurley said.

Sounds like another "game time decision".

Though Reed and Singare got the job done, I would prefer the extra depth. Plus I love the Johnson dunks and blocks.

 

[Stinger92860]

I‘d like to see Nowell get a chunk of minutes to determine if he can provide some quality play. We will need another PG at some point. If he is healthy and does not play, then the staff is seeing in practice that he is not ready. That said, Singare has been a pleasant surprise, maybe lightning strikes twice for us.

Was Nowell a DNP or is he still injured?

Was Nowell a DNP or is he still injured?

Hurley made it clear he would be good for Xavier so he was a DNP the past two games.
