#UCONN: Tough breaks for Huskies. RJ Evans out significant time with sternal-clavicular sprain. Leon Tolksdorf day-to-day with LCL sprain.


Total bummer.

 

[Zionn]

Not good.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

What little depth we have is now on the shelf.

 

[Dann]

cancel the season

 

[art4life]

Damn - that sux. We really need RJ as the 3rd ball handler.
Hope both guys heal quickly.

Brendan Allen will earn the scholly for a while........

 

[CAHUSKY]

Wonder which side. If on shooting side it could be a while.

From what I've read a slight sprain can just be around a week, a more serious sprain could keep him out 2 months.

 

[Ts5034]

Dam. I was hoping he could be back by the NC State game but who knows if thats possible

 

[kelde1wd]

That definitely sucks. I really enjoy watching RJ go about his business and he really seems to be a steadying force.

It will provide another opportunity for some younger players to step up during a transition year and that should only pay dividends for the future years.

Sucks big time, but we do have depth in the back court at least. I think we'll see more Omar at the 2 and Niels at the 3.

 

[Husky68]

The boys of Germany will have to step up.

 

[joober jones]

Brendan Allen for some reason reminds me of Carlton Banks. At least I can find a slight amount of humor and solace in that while waiting for Evans to return.

 

[aceboon]

sounds like it will be a 2 to 3 week injury, thankfully they're approaching finals and there will be a gap between games. it's time for Giffey to step up and be more than just a guy batting around loose balls.

Weird, because Evans definitely resembles Uncle Phil.

Weird, because Evans definitely resembles Uncle Phil.

If only Roscoe was still here it'd be the perfect trifecta: The Fresh Prince, Carlton, and Uncle Phil.

Get well soon, RJ!
You've definitely become a fan favorite

 

[Kitaman]

Don't know him long, but he appears to be a tough SOB! (Think AJP).
I expect RJ to be back sooner than later, there is no next year.

Did he get hurt vs New Mexico? I must have missed that after I turned it off.
