A few years ago, I was about to go bowling with some friends, and I slipped on ice while getting into the car.

It was pretty damn painful, and I realized quickly that I couldn't stand back up if I bent my knees all the way. I persevered on through several games of bowling (with the help of several drinks), and never saw a doctor.

It could have been my ACL, but I guess I'll never know. It's fine now.

That was drunken bowling knee pain story time with Leebo.

Prolly a torn meniscus and or Cartilage. Happened to me while playing softball and swinging at a pitch.
Never saw a doctor and the pain / swelling went away, after about 4 weeks.

To be fair, if you never saw a doctor, you are also in the "can't know for sure" camp. ;)

But yeah, there's a few things it could have been other than ACL.

Will you please become a sponsor?
 
Dejaun Blairs ceiling was capped not only by his lack of acls but being 6'7 and stocky ... Think Durham is blessed with great length wonder what his measurements are currently .
 
Ollie is a class coach.
We're a class program.
When we make you an offer, we don't retract it without significant off-the-court cause.
When you accept our offer, we expect you'll honor it, and you're a Husky from that day forward.
This kid's a Husky. Period. I don't care if he plays 1 game. If he comes here, works his hardest, gets repeatedly injured, and ends up doing his best impression of Samuel L. Jackson in "Unbreakable," then we embrace it, and we'll expect him to be the best cheerleader we have for 4 years, as well as a model citizen and a aspiring student.
That's Ollie's way. That's our way.

It's that why because you say so - I guess. Good luck.

For sure. I was just pointing out that, in the moment, it's possible to tear your ACL (complete tear, even) and not realize you've done it. Not every single one ends with the person crumpled on the ground in a sobbing heap.

I tore my acl,knew the day I did it I hurt my knee very bad,I work 60 to 75 hour weeks on my feet,climbing ladders at that time,and never knew my acl was torn the entire time,my knee just hurt after a long week or with Rainey weather,had repaired and I'm at it like it never happened.

Ps,it was 10 years ago

I was just making a point that it's just a bad sign if the kid is getting injured this early in his career.
Otherwise, thank you, Captain.

Is it really? Who is an example, in the last 15 years, of a high school kid whose career was ruined by an ACL tear?
 
2 knee injuries in 2 years. I'd also add the kid is sorta frail in the lower body. Im not a DR, but I'm not really surprised he's having knees issues.

I think KO should use this with recruits. Tell them we are a family and we are sticking by Durham. Also, you may get more playing time. Durham may be sitting out or red shirting...it may work.

Well, if I'm an NBA GM I wouldn't want him. Fortunately he's young enough, maybe he can bounce back and get a couple strong years in his youth (hopefully with UConn).But multiple ACL tears is a bad sign for a basketball player long-term. Especially a guy approaching 7 feet. Oden, Bynum, K-Perk, Yao... The list goes on for big men who could never overcome injuries to sustain a long career. Here's to a full recovery.

This post has so much stupid in it I don't even know where to begin.
 
I don't think he needs to contribute much his freshman year, but if Brimah leaves like people are assuming, we're really going to need to see more from Facey this year and steady progress from Enoch.

I'm not going to worry about this until it's time to worry. Maybe his rehab this time around was too aggressive, and he'll need to make that adjustment, but I haven't seen his knee and I wouldn't know what to do with it if I saw it. Maybe he'll be ready next year, maybe he won't, but I'm going to defer to Durham and the training staff on that one.
 
He'll be fresh and as stated he'll have 2 brand new ACL's, not a bad thing at all in this day and age. Timing will be fine and he'll be a great Husky. Love his coach he's a very positive guy and influence for him.

Juwan will be signing his LOI tonight at his school.

Juwan Durham won't be able to play basketball until next year, but the 6-foot-9 forward is locking up his college plans tonight at 6 p.m. Durham is scheduled to sign his Letter of Intent to UConn during Tampa Prep's practice and then have it faxed to Kevin Ollie and the Huskies.

"It's a tradition," said Tampa Prep coach Joe Fenlon about having his players sign during practice. "There's no question it will be a load off (signing his LOI). The kid has been working his tail off for this day."
