WBB: Durr has Tommy John surgery

[mred]

I saw pictures with her arm in a sling, and now I know why. She should be recovered in time for pre-season practices.

Might have been a contributing factor in her 1-12 shooting from three in the NCAA tournament game. It was her right elbow, and I believe she's right-handed.

Wish her a speedy and full recovery. She is an important part of our team and we certainly need her at 100%.

Wish her well and hope she can get her shooting touch back for next season.

Boo this news. Bad luck and a freak injury from that fall since it's just not an injury I have ever heard of in basketball. Wow, if it was a full Tommy John style ULC replacement being back for basketball would be great. Everything you read about this is usually about baseball and baseball throwing. They usually talk about gentle throwing (tossing) in four/five months which could equate to shooting but I am guessing hard overhead passes (throws) would be out? Nine months to conference play if you count all of April so she has good shot at a return.

Don't want to "like" the post but thanks for sharing @mred, informative stuff as usual.

Get well soon, Emily!!

Thanks for the info. We hope for a fast & full recovery for Em. Given her exhibition of high speed on the floor, I'm sure she'll put recovery in high gear, also.

She needs to lay off the slider and stick with her fastball.

I don't think it's a stretch to say Durr is one of this board's favs. Get on back in there Em it's game time (well before you know it any way!).
