Updates on Clingan ankle ?

[DawgEnjoyer]

You’re looking at Alex at center otherwise.

I would rather play 5 out with no center, then try and run offense with a guy the opponent knows it doesn’t have to guard

Maybe we go way outside the box and try Spencer on Soriano?

Johnson was just awful tonight, offensively and defensively. He is capable of better. But we will not be the same team without DC. Obviously.

Hope Clingan is ok. But he needs to get stronger and tougher around the basket. He needs to start dunking the ball more an forget the laying it in softly.

Who wasn’t awful tonite?

 

[IndyLives]

Ice, ultrasound, and Toradol and DC should be ready against St. John's!

 

[MDHuskFan]

My biggest worry from tonight is that Karaban & Cam can be extra exposed if we don’t have an anchor in the middle. Last year we had Clingan and Sanogo (while Sanogo wasn’t a shot blocker like some, he held position well) too many drives ended today with no deterrent because Samson wasn’t able to hold position on the block

I think it's going to be a pain threshold thing all season long

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I guess I should have used an emogi.

The players who didn't get into the game.

Samson had like 1 defensive rebound in 21 minutes...brutal

 

[Improviser]

Need him in the game - BADLY
C'mon DC, let's work it out

Trust the trainer. He was in the locker room with DC. He knew the situation better than anyone else.

He talked to DC when he went back to the bench and saw his movement.

 

[DennieEddy]

Fire the trainer. We needed Big D.

One game is not work aggravating the injury further, is it? Don't fire the trainer, fire the usher.

 

[Chin Diesel]

35 replies to the OP and not a single poster chiming in about the time 12 years ago when they were in their mid-30's how they recovered from their ankle sprain and giving us their opinion on when DC will be able to come back.

And posters on this board are calling players soft and just going through the motions??

I sprained my ankle last Monday and was fine 3 days later. But hey, I’m a boomer.

 

[Icehawk]

I was hoping it's mild, he was back on the bench in uniform so it seemed like it wasn't too bad.

 

[imno1]

He may miss the ST John’s game but they get a little break after that so hopefully Donovan is good to go by DePaul

I sprained mine in October and won't be playing hoops again until February. There are degrees to everything.

I also seriously doubt it's an ankle. He landed normally. Nothing rolled or twisted.

 

[alexd]

He also jammed his thumb

Welcome to the Big East season.

 

[husky429]

SJU is going to be a tough road if DC is resting. They profile a lot like SHU and we are not going to have an answer for Soriano if Johnson doesn't play out of his mind in a way we haven't seen before. I like our chances at home, but we need to do something different in practice to prepare.

Boomers just throw dirt on it.

 

[Improviser]

Newton or even Castle or Diarra need to play tough D on the SJU guards to hopefully limit or alter the interior passing to Soriano.

If Soriano gets good looks inside, it may be a long game with unfavorable results.

Spencer would do a better job than Singare in this nightmare scenario

I didn't mean last night's debacle.
I meant going forward.

That's what I saw and thought as well

Based on his defense last night? Spencer couldn't guard a chair vs SH
