Johnson out indefinitely

[Huskydog45]

We can’t catch a break between football and basketball this year with injuries…..the good news I guess is the younger guys get more playing time in these Nov and Dec early games…..
Hoping Johnson isn’t out long term….never know where indefinitely means.

He tweeted after this one that Samson's in a walking boot...hopefully it isn't too long smh

3 starters down!

Indefinitely and foot dont sound great

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Johnson out indefinitely is a great way to get arrested.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I hope Samson heals soon, but w/ Jackson and Johnson out, I'd love Karaban to get 30 minutes today at the 4 w/ Springs getting 10ish.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I'm betting stress fracture, but what do I know

Will be interesting to see if the Greek kid gets any run. Have heard he's looked decent in practice.

Welp. More reason to have kept Akok. Not off to a great start injury wise this season. Hope it doesn’t get to the point of 2017.

Last I checked, Akok wasn't released by UConn.

 

[donyell34]

You have to let Akok go.

 

[UConn Dan]

4 to 6 weeks I just heard on the radio broadcast. Get well soon!!

 

[Palatine]

This just socks.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Welp, we’re going to see what Springs can do with some more PT.

 

[husky429]

Pleasantly surprised with what I'm seeing from Springs.

That’s why you need depth… which we have. Injuries suck.

I absolutely hate foot injuries especially in basketball. This is not good.

 

[elmcityboy]

really feel for samson.

springs looked good today, but have to think that karaban and andre (when he returns) are gonna play the vast majority of the minutes at 4.

Maybe a redshirt if he has a stress fracture and will miss 6-8 weeks? He would need to get back into shape all over again just as the BE schedule is starting.

We are REALLY paying back the gods for 2011 and 2014…..when is enough enough????

Wally Pipp vibes.

You can’t worry about burning a year of eligibility when anyone can transfer every year. If he can get on the court and help us, you have to play him.

Nothing is official as far as a timeline yet. I’m trying to stay optimistic.

 

[mussels]

If it wasn’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Is this version of "indefinitely" anything like or completely different from the one applied to Zach Freemantle's disciplinary suspension last month?

Tell me you have zero clue about how basketball works without telling me

 

[navery12]

I think Karaban would have ran have away with the starting spot before his injury. So I think Samson Johnson's Wally Pipp moment just got Wally Pipp'd

I not only played in one of CT basketball top programs but I also work in sports. But yeah, I have no clue how basketball works.

You have to let Akok go.

But I thought we clarified that Johnson out indefinitely can land you in trouble?

The early Spring / s report is very encouraging for a great growing season. He has played like a vet with great baseline drives. Springs also knows the system well and the players tendences among his teammates. He is no late transfer filling a void but a solid player who has earned his time. Go Springs grow!
