Shaking my head. Why are we letting freshman play in competitive, 5 on 5 games before they even start serious practices and conditioning in the Fall?? Same thing happened to Brady last year.

And for those who say the injury would have happened anyway, that's simply not true. The teams medical staff has to know each players background and how much to push their workouts and ease them into full on court activities. This info gets passed onto the coach who helps them manage the players. This is more critical for freshman imo. Putting these players in international events is a huge risk, and we're learning the hard way 2 years in a row...

The same thing did not happen to Brady. She was hurt either during practice or a scrimmage while playing for UCONN.

Considering Jana was stepping back away from the free throw line, yea, it could've happened anywhere. And I'm pretty sure Jana working out just as hard as the rest of the team from January thru May. And again at the end of June, beginning of July.
 
This is a bit of a diversion, but was Egypt really beating Italy 19-0 in the 2Q? What happened to Italian WBB. Remember reading an article in Sporting News (or somewhere) just 5 -6 years ago about Italy going through a "Golden Generation" of WBB players. Wonder what the term is for pyrite in Italian. Pyritelli?

Sorry, now back to Jana's injury.

I mean, achilles injures are typically over use injuries and easily preventable, unlike most ACL/knee injuries. I don't actually think this would have happened if she hadn't been playing in a tournament where there are 9 games in 11 days and with a training staff that is likely doing achilles prevention exercises everyday, i.e at UConn.
 
Google translation. Sounds like a UConn coach was there (not Geno who was covering AAU events). Says complete cut which is more serious. Ugh.

That’s a pretty big leap of faith. Micro tears (tendinitis) can happen to an Achilles tendon over many years of overuse, ultimately weakening the tendon and putting it at risk of a more severe rupture. Certainly the U19 tournament was the event where the rupture occurred, but it could have happened just as easily when Jana was running up the stairs to her dorm room.
 
UConn injury woes starting early this year it seems.

Hopeful she will get healthy soon. I know she wants to be on the court.

Saddened to hear this terrible news.......UConn just seems to be snakebitten with these serious injuries.........we can only hope that this is the only serious injury for the team this season!!.........I wonder where she's having the surgery? I would feel much better if UConn doctors performed it but I would think that would be a real inconvenience for Jana's family.......:(
 
Stewie had the same and look at where she is now.

Wishing Jana a smooth surgery and a complication free recovery. And let's remember, this didn't happen TO Uconn, it happened to Jana.

There is no way to stop them from playing in the off season, stopping a kid from playing to represent her country is a completely ridiculous notion.

Achilles tendon injuries have nothing to do with overuse. And every other kid in the tournament played the same number of games and there were no other serious injuries. A little research helps.

Achilles tendon rupture - Symptoms and causes
 
I am utterly speechless. The injuries are tough physically, but they're draining emotionally for fans, I can't imagine what the players and coaches go through. This is the 3rd straight year we've suffered a catastrophic injury. Jana, to me, was a sure fire starter, and future NPOY candidate. This is simply devastating and it wouldn't surprise me at all if we never see play a minute at UCONN.

Not to be a jherk here, but why even play her in the 11th vs 12th game? Why is there a 11th vs 12th game? In a tournament with a schedule that compact, why on earth are we playing games and risking injury to players that have been completely over used in such a short period of time? There is ZERO reason for this.

Does anyone predict she will be out for the season? Or will she play?

I doubt she will play this season. We're basically at the same time of year where Ice and Paige got hurt. I guess this means we'll only see Jana play a max of three years unless she applies for a sixth year since this is technically her second season at UConn?

It is not her second season at UCONN. Since she didn't play one second, she is freshman with 4 years of eligibility. I believe you have received wrong info about Ice. She did not injured herself in USA basketball. It was UCONN basketball.

Was Jana not on scholarship last season?

The other 191 players didn't have a problem with it. There were no other serious injuries in the whole tournament.

She may well have been but since she didn't play a second of college basketball, she has 4 years of eligibility. Players for ND and SC, enrolled early like she did, but did play. So they only have 3 years of eligibility.

Overuse being the cause was your point. The Mayo Clinic does not support it.

From your link: "Achilles tendon injuries commonly occur after an abrupt increase in training intensity. Increase the distance, duration and frequency of your training by no more than 10 percent weekly."

That and the fact that she is a teenager that just suffered an injury most common in 30-40 year olds I think shows how very avoidable this injury was and more support for why I hate fiba tournamnets.

AFAIK players get five years to play four seasons assuming the Covid eligibility rules are no longer in effect. If she was on scholarship last season how does that not count as one of the five years?

Yes she was and it does count as one of the 5. She has 5 years to play 4. And she could petition for a 6th year to replace this coming season if she doesn't play, same as Griffin could if she chose to compensate for missing the 21-22 season.
