Launch BoneyardMD. Alex Karaban's Ankle and Recovery. Have at it.

[ctchamps]

I must say I had to laugh when I read about your resilient ankles! Was the rest of your body as resilient after falling down the flight of stares!

Looks that way!

I thought the PC player unnecessarily stepped under him on that move by AK. He wasn't in the rebound position.

That wasn't the only time.

Is it time to put traditional cold therapy in rehabilitation of soft-tissue injuries out to pasture?

Cold therapy has been used regularly as an immediate treatment to induce analgesia following acute soft-tissue injuries, however, a prolonged ice application has proved to delay the start of the healing and lengthen the recovery process. Hyperbaric gaseous ...

"Tussin and Ginger Ale...he'll be just fine in a few days.

But you got to rub that tussin into the bone.

 

[Kenny11]

On offense he should fine for Saturday. He mostly catches and shoots and does straight line drives. defense will be tougher but Clingan owes some cleanup

Ace bandage, tie your sneakers tighter. Game on

Do your thing BY.

Is it a rolled ankle? A sprain? A strain?
Lower leg injury? Ankle injury? Foot injury?
X-ray or MRI?
Ice? Heat? Rest? Walking boot? Knee scooter?
How should UConn treat this based on your own experiences? (Not your medical experience, your YMCA or intramural experience as a "player". )
What's the recovery timeline?
Discuss HIPAA.
These are college kids, not pros. Leave them alone.
Why is this the fault of Donny Marshall?

@Chin Diesel ..Did I ever tell you about the time when I.. Oh never mind

If you don't notice the white part of the picture and realize it's a sneaker, but rather just see the blue part??? That's a weird ass picture.

That’s 1900’s style basketball sneaker. Sneakers from this current era are basically Crocs with shoe laces.

Any update on the Karaban Caravan’s bad wheel??

 

[IndyLives]

A high ankle sprain is the biggest concern (takes weeks/months to completely heal), but he wouldnt have played if that was the case. Tape it real good, shoot-up for the pain, and no excuses for Saturday.

 

[HooperScooper]

Any update on the Karaban Caravan’s bad wheel??

Later today at Hurley's media availability.

 

[Palatine]

If in doubt, keep him him out.

It should still be a competitive game with or without Karaban. If we lose, we lose #1, which is not necessarily a bad thing. If we win, which is a definitely possibility, it means we got more playing time for guys who need it. Hash scored 1 point in our last game with the Storm. He might be able to pick

 

[AdamaNation]

Huh? We only lost one game without Castle and we only lost one game without DC. If AK has to sit out on Saturday, why in the world would we be conceiving that game?

Poor choice of words. Not this game but being realistic(and preferring to win out) a loss is certain to come and the sooner the better. We probably need a Quality Control check for safe measure.

 

[Umami Zen]

Rolled ankles are a birch.I know. In order of what I'd like to see happen tomorrow. AK plays limited minutes and contributes from long range (3s). Stewart gets some significant PT and delivers on his talents combined with AK limited minutes. Diarra has a career game in his hometown.

Above all. Where is the respect for AR? Give him 5 to 10 minutes so he can go off. Pitino isn't scouting him.

Indeed

 

[huskyharry]

yes...it looked like the PC player was casually stepping into the vicinity but his right foot was stuck out further and was what Alex turned the ankle on

Watched it again and it was #10 Barron. He clearly sticks his right foot under Alex when he is coming down resulting in the ankle turn.
It didn’t look intentional…just looked like a freshman who didn’t realize how reckless that was
