Updates on Clingan ankle ?

[HuskyHawk]

Agree he can’t run with him but SJ will have issues guarding him on the block, probably turning into foul trouble. Singare will need to see 4-6 minutes if no DC.

We can only hope the SJ we saw the other night was the same as the others, just a bad game for all.

SJ can from him to deny the pass or you can quickly double. Soriano brings the ball down and is susceptible to being stripped by smaller guys. I think he will have a bounce back game. Hopefully all the guys will.

I keep coming back here and reading this thread, hoping for an update on Clingans ankle.

They’ve had the mri a long time, and its not like this news won’t come out.

The news should come out around 745PM

 

[GlastonTim]

My gut says he’s playing

 

[Bomber36]

If there’s any question, he should sit. One game in January is not worth jeopardizing a deep run in March.

 

[BGesus4]

What more information do you guys need? @SilentDog already derived from first principles that he’s out 4-6 weeks.

 

[Scrutiner]

People having an opinion is one thing. People having an opinion with absolutely no knowledge of the situation is quite another thing.

New to the Boneyard?

 

[Scrutiner]

With Hurley you never know for sure. Regardless, with some time off coming up, you should rest him. With foot and “ankle” issues, the can be related in terms of compensating and creating another injury or making an existing one worse.

Dizzy Dean would have agreed.

Ya, page one I believe. And our BY Doctors have contributed. Much appreciation for that.
I guess I'm waiting for medical records (sarcasm) or news from the staff "Dominic is playing today".
I know we won't know till gametime but I'm the eternal optimist. Lol.

Or, just maybe, some people see the difference between talking for the sake of talking and talking because you know enough to express an opinion that adds something to the conversation?

Guy does this on every topic team related.

I thought it was coming out in 20 mins?

Not sure what the benefit would be for Coach Hurley to lie about Clingan’s Injury, especially to double down on it in yesterdays media session.

Also given that he just said a few weeks ago he’s done playing games by withholding injury info from the media.

Feel free to ignore it then

 

[GlastonTim]

He’s playing until he’s not

Long term dealing with another foot injury is probably a lot more concerning to nba teams than if he sprained his ankle so I could see it making some sense to try to pass it off as he sprained his ankle

So count on boneyard “insiders” to put it out there anyway.

lol nba teams get the medical history of every player and then go through a full evaluation of every player. Donovan will see a foot specialist of every team interested in drafting him and also provide his own doctors evaluation. It’s not like you can hide this from NBA teams.

I blame the sneakers for most of this season’s injuries.

Yeah. What happened high or even mid tops? Who’d even want to “lace em up”? If you’re not having anything…..up? Slides will be the next evolution

 

[FearThePups]

Spencer looks stockier and wider than Singare to me.

I am joking about the upfakes, but I have seen Spencer give some when he was guarded by a guard. Maybe that motion would elicit some fouls from Soriano. Huge problem is that Soriano could shoot over him.

Maybe desperate times need desperate alternatives.

Just my opinion, and others are entitled to theirs.

I think we approach this game like we did at Kansas. Dickinson got his points but we played superior defense all around. This can’t be a what do we do without Clingan situation, everyone needs to step up here. All our starters except Clingan didn’t show up. Newton, Cam, and Alex have to play like they normally do. We are better than St John’s at every position.

Comment was more tongue in cheek. Obviously this is the case. But it’s even more obvious that Hurley wouldn’t lie about an injury for that reason

 

[uconngb]

Find it hard to believe he would be playing today. Only way he is is if he’s absolutely 100% clear. Which does not seem likely.

I hear you but NBA teams would get his medical information either way.

It doesn't make sense for the staff to hide a potential foot injury in hopes of preventing NBA teams from finding out.

I would guess he doesn't play tonight with the long layoff before the Depaul game on Jan 2 and then the Boneyard will do a whole bunch of guessing and arguing until then.
