Paige Bueckers expected to miss rest of regular season

[Inthepaint]

We know what we want.
We will get we will.
NOBODY wants to see Paige in a game more than Paige.
Geno will make like he really doesn't need her. Maybe he'll make her beg a little bit and then, "reluctantly" let her start the 2nd half on Sunday. We don't want to overshadow Liv, Christyn, Evina and Dorka on their Big Day so we won't see her in the first half.
Or, maybe not.
Might actually be better to let her see how her knee works in a game with no real drama. So she's not putting it to the test in a critical situation.Although Paige seems to play every minute like all the money is on the table.

The mention of swelling is disconcerting. My knee doctor said to me once, "You're a runner, you know how to deal with pain. But swelling is different, don't mess with swelling." He went on to say that swelling can actually lead to or exacerbate injuries.

That said, I trust the doctors and training staff. If they say she's good to go, she's good to go.

Geno. He also said it was like a month ago.

Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, that drive to the hoop made me smile. She looks good.

 

[CL82]

No. 5 is alive...

I see what you did there.

It was just two weeks ago they said she had trouble tracking down a loose ball, and now she's jogging without any kind of brace and starting to participate in some drills. The NCAA tournament is 4 weeks away which gives her almost another full month of additional rehab and practice time. 5 weeks if you don't need her until S16/E8 weekend which is 50% more time than she's already missed.

Do we know that she wasn’t wearing a brace? My assumption was that the brace was just wrapped but I went back and took a look and I think you are right.

I’m not an orthopedist, but that would seem to be a huge step forward.

Do we know that she wasn’t wearing a brace? Because that would be a big deal. My assumption was that the brace was just wrapped.

She just had a compression sleeve on the knee at Tuesday's practice. As you saw last night she had the brace on once again over that sleeve or knee pads, so when she wears it is pretty obvious. The first 10 seconds of this video show a pretty good close up of it.

Yep, see my edited post above.

My bad. First I heard of Paige's swelling was in Cat's post (#95 in this thread).

Just hope that she takes all the time she needs to avert hurting that knee again. Don't risk it!

I concur. Playing basketball is at times resembles a track meet. You need two good 'Wheels; also helps as stability for shooting the ball. How about rebounding & other aspects of the game? Paige must feel confident & comfortable in playing the game !

Maybe developed Telekinesis to compensate

I'm not worried. Geno revealed Paige's connections to a higher power last night.
