Rumored injury for Ice

CL82 said:
FWIW, a dislocated kneecap is different than a dislocated knee. I believe it is less severe.

In any event, I agree with those who are saying let’s wait to hear what the official announcement is instead of speculating.

Yes, best to wait. A dislocated patella is not unheard of for basketball players and the timeframe for recovery depends on whether it is partial or full and whether there is ligament damage as well. Six weeks seems ambitious for the sport but we’ll have to wait and see what Geno says.

There have been more than a few NBA players with the injury and I recall Chelsea Gray dislocated her patella while at Duke and then (I think) fractured the same patella the following season.

We'll certainly find out if that's the case...............I'm convinced UConn doesn't have a better scoring big than Ice Brady and she hasn't even walked on the court yet........

You're correct and there's also her 5 fouls and size that they'll need to defend the paint against Texas, NC St., Duke, Iowa/Oregon St., and ND.

I believe the correct term is “subluxation”. Note: This is not intended to be a diagnosis of or confirmation of injury.

A subluxation is a brief movement of a joint or bone away from its normal place. A luxation is commonly called a dislocation -- it's something popping away from where it belongs and staying there for an extended time; it usually doesn't go back on its own. The only joint I have experience with is the shoulder, and in that case a sublux and a dislocation are somewhat different in a few ways.

Thanks for the clarification. I subluxated my knee caps twice each. They were not pleasant experiences.

Don, whenever anyone makes predictions about ANY player(s) or a team’s future achievements, it’s ALWAYS assumed and understood that said prediction(s) are made barring injury.

No one can predict an unforeseen injury, especially to a player that is not injury prone. No one foresaw or could have predicted either of Paige’s injuries or this injury to Ice.

You are right predictions are guesses---however, some are EDUcATED (i.e. Experienced) guesses. While predicting the specific injury for Paige, coming off an injury is an impossibility, predicting another injury last year or this year had a high probability of being accurate. She played, after her injury early on, with gusto and IMO abandon. She went down hard a number of times, with her leaving the floor on one or 2 of them.
Her slight frame can't take the punishment of Edwards'. Paige is a terrific player with no magic force field protecting her.
Of course, I wouldn't be willing to bet on the second injury, more than my private bank roll ---$1.25. (the worth of my house, I don't live in California).

I agree. That is why I don't predict early on. No one foresees or predicts injuries and because they have been happening to so many female players, I just choose to wait. If this one did happen, it is very disappointing.

My cat had a luxated patella, needed surgery.

I feel like if this was true it would’ve been officially announced by now.

It’s 6:22 pm ET. I’m surprised and a little disappointed that the BB office has not released anything reguarding the scrimmage or addressed the reports of Ice’s injury. Perhaps they feel there’s nothing to report. :rolleyes:

Are they allowed to officially put out anything regarding the scrimmage?

No. NCAA rules about scrimmages say they must be "conducted in privacy and without publicity or official scoring. Individuals other than athletics department staff members and those necessary to conduct a basketball practice scrimmage against outside competition may not be present during such a scrimmage. The institution shall ensure that the scrimmage is free from public view. No class time shall be missed by basketball student-athletes in conjunction with such a scrimmage, including all associated activities (e.g., travel, pregame and postgame activities)"

Whoever tweeted about this should never have done that. It’s unfair to Ice, the team and the fans. If it is true, it should have been her choice and the teams about when and how that announcement is made. If untrue, it’s just cruel to put that out there.

but it gives everyone a chance to make more rumor by commenting on it :)

Thanks for posting that.

I see nothing in there to prevent a coach or any player from discussing how it went except for giving out stats. "Free from public view" could mean no video release though I would think both coaching staffs would want to see it again.

Recently Geno finally commented on the scrimmage from last season, saying that Ducharme and Fudd lit it up and he knew then he had something. So no Geno comments may mean good news.
 
Regarding the injury, posted earlier that further medical consultation may be needed, but if there is no news by tomorrow, would tend to believe that is a positive. Regarding the privacy of the scrimmage, the beat writers should be more connected with their contacts. They know what size sneakers the players wear, but don't know the opponent or specifics ? Reporters used to sleep in the parking lot to see whose bus pulled up!

It's social media. People can put out whatever they want. We are not entitled to know a student-athlete's personal medical info either way.

Theoretically the ban on publicity also applies to publicity after the game has been played. Although the NCAA has occasionally taken action against major violations, they haven't been too active when the "publicity" is minor.

If by “a positive” you mean no injury, I’m right there with you.

There was an injury. Luckily it just seems to have been a scare more than anything. As some have eluded to here, all dislocations are different.

Hope you’re right. What is your source.
 
Someone tweets about an injury, someone posts it, half of this forum reacts. Then another states there was an injury, but it seems to be a scare, all dislocations are different. Who is saying what to whom? How was an injury leaked to someone in the first place, and then others confirm the statement with no verification. Four days later, and no official word, this entire episode gets more bizarre by the day.
