So, how's the ankle?

[RedStickHusky]

Asking for a friend.

 

[Vancat]

inquiring minds want to know.

From what I could see, Paige rolled her ankle like I have done myself 100 times back in the day. I suspect it hurts like hell today. But Paige is young and healthy, and I would not be surprised if she’s suited up and ready to go tomorrow vs Georgetown.

 

[oldhusky]

For Georgetown it doesn't matter. For Arkansas it does.

 

[and one]

High sprains take time. Low sprains heal quickly with some icing. It didn't look like she rolled it badly but for now who knows.

Having "sprained" my ankle a year ago, the orthopedist explained that a "sprain" entails either a tear in the cartiledge, or a break of the bone, with the cartelage and a piece of bone cracking away from the main bone. OK, I'm paraphrasing, since I'm not a MD. But it's not simply "rolling one's ankle." It's a serious injury. My ankle hurt for weeks.

 

[Ozimoto]

Hopefully she doesn't show up at Georgetown with her foot in a boot. Or, if she does, it is merely precautionary.

 

[eebmg]

Ok Autumn. Get ready.

Great chance for Nika and Anna to pick up some needed minutes and confidence. Foolish to use PB with Arkansas and DePaul coming up. Give her a rest!

 

[ubasketball]

In a 22 minute postgame press conference, no one asks Geno about Paige's ankle and her availability against Georgetown. Just a little odd.

 

[SLY63]

I would rest her Saturday. No reason for her to play and risk it.

I've looked at the replay a dozen times and I really can't see how it happened. Nevertheless I didn't want to broach the subject out of fear. Fear for her condition and fear for my constitution. I'm hoping for the best but I'm preparing myself for the worse. However I fully expect her to be in a walking boot for the next game.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Showed some grit though, didn't she?

Resting is overrated. As my father says, "you'll have plenty of time to rest when you're dead".

 

[CL82]

Wow. This does not look good.

Of course it isn't Paige, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

(Sorry...)

I agree unless the ankle is completely healed. I was taped for 4 years playing in college and it was no fun. I hope it is just very minor and doesn't need anything. There are several degrees of sprains which are tears and then there are strains. Looked like a rollover strain to me. If there is anything residual I would think she would sit tomorrow. I would like to see Nika and Anna have extended quality minutes anyway. Evina can stabilize the offense so we will be fine. It may also cause Evina to shoot more which I am really hoping for. She is 16-22 her last 3 games which to me means she needs to take more shots. I just loved the guts in Paige to take the shot and make it.

I feel the same way, I have replayed it at least 20 times and cannot see where she rolls her ankle, this has me scared to death and thinking it may be a foot or God forbid Achilles injury.

Do the women all play with taped ankles? If not they should.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Wow. This does not look good.

C'mon now. Let's not get frantic. If it was an achilles she wouldn't be able to walk and taping her ankle would be worthless. It looked to me like she did it as she was celebrating the layup by CW off of her great pass. I'm still thinking a strain. Geno won't risk it against the Hoyas is my bet unless she is perfect.

Evil. Having experienced many ankle sprains over the years, I would say that one is about five days old.

DON’T EVER DO THAT TO MY HEART AGAIN! I thought that was Paige’s foot. You are very bad for that! Hope that foot healed though.

The trainer knew it was an ankle. That’s why she taped it. They don’t tape a foot to return to action and you can’t even put weight on an Achilles injury.

Exactly. We will know soon enough. If the sprain was a bad one she would not have been able to play on it.

I don't think a trainer would have taped an ankle like that if it was an Achilles.

Chuck from Last Man Standing would say: that ankle picture? not cool

Got to call you out! You brought up Achilles! That's not funny. Achilles is an "old man" injury. Back in the day, Achilles ruptures = the horse is sent out to make dog food. ex. Johnny Unitas. I've got one. Can't put your foot down on the ground for 3 months, and an additional 4 months before you can even try to run. 6 months before you even start rehabbing. Come on man. She's 18 and she's played 100 games in her life. Kevin Durant plays 120 games a year. Come on, man! It's like the S word in golf. Keep it to yourself! Gimme a break.
