How serious is that? HGH?

Official diagnosis is shoulder strain for Monte Morris. Sounds like he'll have some discomfort for some time, but little worry about Thurs.
Depends on the grade of the strain. I'm assuming its a Grade I strain, which is why he was able to shoot and make the 3 free throws and stay in the game. Also why they are saying he will likely play Thursday. Rest, ice, anti-inflammatory meds, and some PT exercises and he'll be ok. 100%? no, but good enough to play. The long break will be nice.How serious is that? HGH?
Monte has been battling his knee and hip injury the last few weeks too.
I should dig out the VHS tape of this. Good movie. Sad but good.
A strain is a tear of the muscle fiber, a sprain is a tear of a ligament. A strain generally is more severe depending on the grade. This isn't something that Monte is going to work through this first game of the Big 12 Tournament and be OK after that. One has got to wonder if a hampered Monte Morris is better to play than not to play? The question you should ask is by playing with this injury what is the liklihood of it becoming worse each game he plays? I have been really pleased by the way Hallice Cooke has destributed the ball and generally overall play. What if Hallice assumes Point Guard duty?
A strain may be a simple stretching of the muscle or tendon. It does not need to be a tear. Don't spread misinformation.
