Exactly.
Where exactly in my post did I state that she will be practicing but not playing in games. My premise was that she had recovered and I stated that in my post. And if you want to get the context of my post, please read the post that I was replying to.
In the press conference following the DePaul game Geno said that because of a series of injuries Dorka generally does not participate in practice. Even so, she certainly seems to be playing in games, and was not too shabby against DePaul.
Agree, practices this time of year are less intense. There's scouting and specific emphasis on upcoming opponent, some drill work to stay sharp, some clock situations, and maybe one or two areas of focus for the day.
The point is that you have to practice well before you play. I want Bueckers back when she is 100% and both she and her doctors agree she is 100%. No sooner and no later. The best and consistent medical advise (other than yours) is that the injury should have healed 100% in 6-8 weeks and last Sunday's evaluation (again, by actual medical people with licenses) concluded that she is healing as expected and she is now incorporating some practice activity. So she is practicing, much like Mühl and Fudd did, in increments. This means she is doing basketball stuff and this will continue to become more intensive as long as there is no setback.
Now that is moxie!
Again you are ignoring what I am posting about. I know that this thread is about Paige BUT I was responding to a post that swerved to the current status of Caroline and Liv. I never mentioned Paige in any of replies to that swerve. Yet here we are with you quoting another of my posts that didn't mention Paige at all and Paige is all that you are talking about. Unbelievable.
No
Lol. I thought Azzi was cleared to play and her injury is a thing of the past. I guess she can't play normally because she once had an injury. Geno did not let her play unless she decided she was ok. You think she should have waited longer?
Not if you played here. Would have to work you back slowly. Start off doing basketball-like activities. Nothing where your mouth could be affected. Maybe a redshirt or at least put you on ice until next season. We want to do the right thing and not risk your long term recovery and success. Oh crap, I forgot- you're 18 years old, in the absolute physical prime of your life, and your body is healing in overdrive.
Apparently, playing WBB in Storrs ain’t exactly like letting your kid “run off to the playground”.
in an ideal situation she would have worked her way back into logging 30 plus minutes over the course of a number of games.........stress reactions are a recurring problem for some and obviously that's something nobody wants to see in the case of Ms. Fudd..........
Dorka hasn’t always been able to practice because of her injuries but she still plays. Per Geno in the DePaul post game presser
In addition I believe Evina frequently did not practice or had limited practice last year but played. I think there is too much emphasis on being 100% whatever that means. To me it is not whether her timing is back, her wind is back, or if she can do every move as well as before, it is about the risk of re-injuring herself by coming back too soon.
