Sanogo/Martin Update

This reminds me of last year with Bouk. I'll be surprised if we see either in 2021 and am half-expecting it to be closer to late January or February before they're back.

This is encouraging. One thought I had watching the last game: when I have lower back pain, sitting in a chair is the absolute worst thing for it. Unless he's got an actual spinal injury, it's a muscle strain of some sort and I don't think he'd be out all that long. Might need to manage his minutes.
 
The timeline for Martin suggested a return for the Providence game was completely reasonable. I'm cautiously optimistic on him playing, especially after seeing this.

Would be an excellent surprise if Sanogo was able to get back too. Fingers crossed!

This is good for 2 reasons. The first is obvious. The second reason is that it forces these teams to create multiple gameplans and potentially wastes their time lol

For us old-timers, even if Sanogo is mostly a no-go, that Willis Reed moment might be all we need to screw up any coach's planning.

This is probably why Hurley is coy on injuries.

It frustrates the hell out of fans, but also opposing coaches.
 
If Martin really only has a "sprained wrist"...this sounds very reasonable. He played through it for two games so it must not have been THAT bad, and we're fortunate that it's on his non-shooting hand.

Sanogo's injury is much more mysterious. Feels like something that could linger a bit and maybe something that bothers him all season. We may need to get used to a 20-25 minute Sanogo versus a 30-35 minute Sanogo, which may not be a bad thing and can allow more time for Johnson to get his feet wet and develop more.

Maybe, but remember Bouk was insistent on taking his own doctor's opinion. He was cleared by team doctors way before then. Hopefully Hurley's assessment has a little more truth to it this time around.

Sanogo's injury at this point is being described as an "abdominal strain" or "abdominal tear", which kind of sounds like a possible hernia, yes? We'll have to wait and see what doctors say. UConn's Sanogo to miss extended amount of time
 
does it matter how either of them are "feeling"? you can have a broken wrist and abdominal tear and feel ok but that doesn't mean their bodies have healed.

Sanogo and Martin are in the care of team doctors, and are giving advice to Hurley. They can medically clear them. This is the complete opposite of the Bouknight situation.

I highly doubt we see either of them for Providence or Marquette -- but just the possibility that they may be available is good news. It tells me we should hopefully have them back healthy for the new year.

Hurley did say "either", which makes sense with Martin's timeline and would fill the "either" will be back by then. He's not saying Sanogo will be back by then and I'd be pleasantly surprised if he was.
 
I know nothing about Sanogo’s injuries. But Martin’s injury is almost certainly the type of thing that can be played through it if you want to. I’d bet dollars to donuts that if this was March and the Big East tournament was this week, he’d be taped up and playing.

He played two games with it as it was, so you are probably right.

Fortunate to say I was one of the 19,500 at that Willis Reed game. No one knew if he was going to play. Came out on the court a couple minutes before teammates were shooting pregame shots. Game starts. He hits two pure shots from corner of foul line in first minutes of the game. Ostensibly done for the night then Clyde takes over: 36 puts. 19 assists.
Magical…sorry if TMI

The two things that don’t get talked about with Bouknight’s injury are the timing/necessity of the surgery and who was making the decisions. Good coaches protect their players, though, even if it makes some fans cranky, imo.

Maybe it wasn’t just Bouks injury:cool:
 
Does anyone have a strong recollection of how/when Adama's injury actually happened? Was it on a particular play or during the course of play? I have no strong recollection of the events leading up to the injury unlike many others where the circumstances/outcomes are obvious. Maybe I was just out of the room at the time.

Danny commenting on it being unusual for a basketball injury makes me curious.
