"I don’t post on here much but I do read quite a bit every once in a while. After Jana’s injury I did some digging on Instagram and Jana was tagged in a couple of updates on her injury by two Egyptian ahly games pages. One account has 18K followers and the other 25.9k followers. They both posted that Jana had an ankle injury which seems to be a little bit more relieving than an Achilles injury. Karl Anthony Towns had a similar injury where he looked back as if he was kicked and it turned out to be a strain. So hopefully this is a good sign."

Sounds better to me but still can't be considered factual input.
 
IG post from some Egyption account.

Translation: NBA U-19 player Jena 1000 with a cut in Water Achilles tend to last for 6 months.

Not official but . . .

This is a blogger so not an Egyptian news organization. Hopefully we'll know soon if the information is accurate.
 
This is so depressing. An ankle injury would have been fantastic compared to this.
 
Fingers crossed here...but: if that report is accurate that would mean late January for a possible return.
Lots more questions than answers....conditioning for one. One month of regular season left...1 and 1/2
months for tourneys.

Let's hope for more news later today....and better news.

Back better than ever..Jana!
 
Is a cut a partial tear? Is it six months to heal and then start conditioning, or six months to be back in shape? What is a water Achilles? I guess I will google that.

No, normal basketball recovery for an achilles tear is 10 months. Unfortunately I think this takes her out for the season.I hate these Fiba tournaments.

A muscle cramp can be a small thing and go away in a few minutes or it can be a big deal and take days to recover from if the muscle gets knotted. Its usually from needing water, too much exertion or being in a very hot environment. I read it was a muscle cramp on facebook. I'll try to find out more about it.

Yup, I believe everything I read on FB too. :rolleyes:
I wonder if anything official will be put out by UConn? Maybe not seeing that the alleged injury occurred while Jana was engaged in a non UConn activity or because UConn has (rightfully so) become secretive when it comes to a player's health.
 
Could be inflammation of the bursa below the Achilles tendon insertion near the heel bone.. Bursa fills with fluid.
 
As info, Achilles tears vary in severity. For more severe tears, 10 months to a year is a reasonable post surgical recovery time. For a more minor tear it can be much quicker. When Stewie suffered a partial tear to her Achilles in 2021, she underwent surgery in October and was back for the start of the WNBA season the following March, a little over 5 months later.

If these social media posts are accurate then I believe UConn will say something but only after something is said publicly by Jana and/or the Egyptian wbb federation. So far nothing has been confirmed though I suspect the team is traveling back to Egypt today. Imaging was probably done in Madrid but they'll probably do additional imaging once she is home.

That was a repair of the original injury and surgery from 2019 that kept her out about a year.

The 2nd achilles surgery in 2021 was to repair/reinforce the left achilles which Stewie said was about 50% torn. The first surgery to the right achilles in 2019 was for a complete rupture.
 
No one comes back from an Achilles injury in 6 months. It's a year+ and then a gradual work back in to activities.

I think that diagnosis is a bad Google translate.

Also, .... There is a FIBA WOMEN's AFROBASKET tournament in Rwanda starting on July 28 through August 5.
My understanding is the Jana El Afry was to play on this SENIOR EGYPTIAN WOMEN'S Basketball team for
her Dad, who is the H.C. of the Senior National BB team. So.... I expect we may have more definite word
on Jana's availability by Saturday, July 29th (which is also the date of INES BETTENCOURT's First game in
the U 20 European Women's Championship in Lithuania, playing for Portugal.)

That is simply untrue. Alicia Sacramone tore her achilles and was competing at the Olympics ten months later and had to compete at qualifying events 6 months out.
 
She has torn her Achilles tendon , recovery time says 6 months.

Egyptian Federation did post here:

Unfortunately, it is an image and not text and my Arabic is rusty so somebody with more knowledge or technical savvy will need to figure out what it says.
 
Be very suspicious of 6 months turnaround with any significant Achilles injury. If surgery is needed (which is often the recommended approach to reduce the odds of recurrence), you're definitely out for the year and best case is the player is somewhere near 100% the following year. But usually it's the 2nd year back before the player is back to full potential. One of the worst injuries for a basketball player, sometimes worse than ACL or MCL knee tears.
 
The official Egyptian basketball federation account has posted this.

Is a rupture and a tear two different things ?
 
It makes sense from the video and where she grabbed and the fact that no one touched her and she just went down. It’s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it. She is probably done for the season if true and I know this has been brought up before and I kinda was thinking the same thing, but now I’m more on the bandwagon of, we need to look into what kinds of exercises or training is our training staff having these players do or not do, because it’s becoming a little too often to just be a coincidence. It’s at least for me, getting to the point where this needs to be looked into.

A rupture and a tear is technically the same. So an Achilles tendon rupture may be a partial tear or a complete tear.
