I have no expectations about Azzi playing tomorrow. Geno said the knee bothered her at
Tuesday's practice. I do wonder if they have had enough time to fully check it out.
Hoping for a short term outcome....but for a 100% Azzi when she returns.
 
All we know is that it felt wrong to her after an ordinary basketball move. No obvious trauma or collision. Then it started swelling.

Infer your own conclusions.
 
They said they aren't doing an MRI until the knee swelling goes down.

We probably won't be hearing anything new until this upcoming week.

Don't know any more than you do. But She will not play vs. Minnesota for sure. It will be interesting to see if Doctors allow her to make the trip . They want knee swelling to go down, so tests can be more accurate. All of this sounds serious to me. She has just never been right. Caroline Doty comes to mind.
 
Geno sure was nonchalant when describing what happened so that would indicate it didn't appear to be too serious to him. Or he was just perplexed by seeing another knee injury, who knows?

Swell as in swelling? Sorry, but I don't think this is anything to make jokes about. I hate to be like the little boy who cried wolf, but I also don't want to be living in a dream world. I remember last year after coming out of a game when she hurt her knee, Azzi giving her parents a thumbs up as if to assure them that it was not serious and then having to miss many weeks. I also recall the staff and posters downplaying Caroline's neck/head issues last year and so far this year, so while I hope and pray for the best for these two classy young women, I also fear the worst---and hope that I am wrong.

It’s nervous humor because we’re all terrified. Self-comforting behavior.

Yes a thumbs up and misses the next 6 weeks or so. Nobody knows at this point.
 
I was at the CLASS L Boy's Soccer Championship (my ex-school East Lyme won 3-2) and after the game I spoke with Bob Rumbold of Channel 8 Sports and he hasn't heard anything new on Azzi but he thinks she hurt her knee vs NoCar St and hurt it again in practice last Tuesday which makes sense for her being off her usual game!

That thought crossed my mind as well.

It is possible. She did log some serious minutes in that game. It is good that Azzi knew in practice that something wasn't feeling right, and she let the coaching staff and medical staff know. So many players try to push through injuries and the coaching staff let them. Just glad that our coaches listen to our players.
 
Fudd had injury issues in high school. A history of injuries is not a good thing in respect to a long term career. Players have been known to go though a streak and then never have issues again. But they also have ended up being plagued long term as well. Time will tell. It is especially bad for athletic players like Fudd because of the extra stress the put on their joints.

Azzi needs to take a lesson from Paige and use all the things Paige used to strengthen and help her body "right" itself. The exercises and nutrition and other measures Paige used can help Azzi to not be so injury prone.

It may be genetics, not much you ca do about that.

Do you have evidence that she is not doing the same things as Paige?
