Rodney Purvis getting surgery?

[tcf15]

Just noticed that Purvis retweeted this:

Rick Lewis ‏@Coach_Rick57 4h
@rpurvis5 Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Thoughts and prayers will be with you for a speedy recovery.

Anybody know what's up?

I thought I saw him tweet a week or two ago that he slipped on the ice up in Storrs and was injured.

Either way, speedy recovery RP.

I just saw that retweet as well. I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone yet. I do remember him tweeting that he slipped and fell.

Yea I saw that ice tweet also.... RP will be fine I'm assuming. If it was something big we'd know by now.

Let's hope he's getting his tonsils out!

Obviously it's better this happen this year than next, but it's not great that he's missing out on valuable practice/development time that would be beneficial to both the current team and future ones.

@DaveBorges: Rodney Purvis will be undergoing surgery tomorrow. We'll find out why shortly.

@AmoreCourant: Purvis surgery is on left shoulder, repair labrum #uconnmen

 

[tcf15]

@EdDaigneault: Torn left labrum for Purvis. 4-5 month recovery.

 

[tcf15]

@GavinKeefe: Purvis had been practicing with the Huskies while sitting out the season. His left shoulder had been bothering him prior to coming to UConn.

 

[Sportsman5]

I had the same surgery. no big deal.

 

[hooskies]

That's a bummer, but better this year than next. Wish him a speedy recovery, hopefully he's ready to go for the summer.

 

[Marat]

Too bad. I'm sure it was helping some of our guards to practice against another talented guard.

At least we get our major injury for the season out of the way. Thanks for falling on the sword for the team Rod!

 

[RichZ]

I don't think you can overerestimate the benefit to our backcourt from having Rodney on the practice squad.

So nothing to do with the ice in Storrs?

I saw a tweet about how cold it was... and then someone (I forget who) tweeted back that they lied to him when they recruited him and just ask Purvis... if i wasn't at work, I'd try to find the exact tweets (otherwise this like the game of telephone).

 

[UCweCONN]

Good thing he's not a pitcher.

I think that was between Hamilton and Purvis talking about Brimah:

It really isn't that cold. Go to the midwest. Now that's cold.

I'm guessing wisdom teeth.

Sportsman 5, what were your issues. My daughter plays college basketball and her shoulder socket is loose and gets inflamed and very painful when it gets hit or she shoots to much. We are looking at surgical options in offseason. Is this a labrum issue and or does it sound like what you had? Thanks

 

[Gurleyman]

He certainly helped in practice, but it isn't like Bazz, Boat and Kromah are wet behind the ears and need practice sparring partners to get a taste for what competition is like. He was probably more valuable in September/October when practices and drills were full intensity. When the season gets rolling, your heavy minutes guys aren't going balls out in practice every day any more.
