Didn't look too bad. Worst case hes out a couple weeks.

Just saw this. He was able to walk off the court on his own, which was good. Hope the guy is alright; he's got a very bright future! I have been watching the game and the injury didn't "look" that bad, although I realize that doesn't mean squat.

I didn't see it, but I'm guessing a really bad ankle roll. One of those things were it hurts like **** when it first happens, but after a few minutes you can limp on it, then after an icing and some simple rehab you are pretty much back to normal.

Basketball injuries always seem to look worse than they are.

It was more of a turn or twist of his foot. His ankle never touched the ground or rolled over his foot.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying.

It really didn't look like it should have caused any pain.

Serena's looked worse, and she got it taped and kicked some butt.

It was nothing more than an overreaction. I turned it on right when he was on the floor pounding his hands to the ground and rolling around like a child. Then I saw the replay, he barely tweaked it. What an attention whore. He won't miss one minute of their game at Texas on Saturday.

But I will say that football has the "omg, he will never play again after that hit" injuries where they are back in there two plays later and basketball has the "oh, well he kinda limped off, but he will be okay" injuries where they tear something and are out for months.

**** I HATE that picture. Brings back nightmares.

Right in the feels.
