Iowa State without Joens sisters for matchup against Texas
Adversity has struck several times this season when it comes to injuries for Iowa State women's basketball, but perhaps the biggest blow of the season comes just before a top-15
Joens sisters out (COVID related) tonight vs Texas

JFC. They would be playing tonight if they were vaccinated.
With Ashley out this would be a great game for Aubrey to find her rebounding game that she seemed to forget to bring to Big 12 play...oh wait...
I guess that makes more sense. I couldn't figure out how just two of them were out, but Chris could say with confidence everyone would be back by Baylor. Makes sense now.
To avoid caving this thing I'll just stop there...
They'll be back as long as they don't come down with Covid or have another close contact. It's only a matter of time if they aren't vaxed.
Diew plays basically the same role - I don't really consider her a "post".
But I expect we'll see more of Vick as well
That is extremely disheartening.
cyfan92 probably posted that assuming the sisters had a covid infection. Once you've had COVID, I think you get a 90-day window where you never have to quarantine. But since this is a close contact quarantine and not an active infection, it isn't the case after all.
So this could easily happen more times this year then right?
Please make sure we talk only about this situation without grandstanding on either side of the COVID debate. There have already been posts deleted (rightfully so) and we don't want this informational thread to be caved.

The world's on fire with Covid right now. Even if they don't come down with it how can they possibly avoid others who have it.
I think you are probably right this isn't the last time they'll miss games due to Covid. If nothing else, I can't imagine they can go another 2 months without being around someone who tests positive. If the precedent is hold them out if they are around someone who is positive, good luck with that right now.

Even if they decided to become vaccinated now, they wouldn't be fully vaccinated for five weeks*. That's practically the rest of the regular season.
*3 weeks between shots plus two weeks after final shot. Unless they were to get J&J, and I don't know how easy it is to find J&J anymore
I mean, regardless of opinion on covid measures it does just seem like a poor decision for any college/pro athlete to not have gotten it when getting the shot is easy, safe, and could avoid issues like this. Especially for the pros who have big money on the line, it's just bad business not to.
irresponsible, way to let your teammates down.
Pile on me if you want but it's the truth.
