First let me say thank you to Volnation for all of Jabari's well wishes and support. We have just gotten word from UT's doctors. He does have a fifth metatarsal fracture.
Jabari is unsure how this all happened. But this type of fracture is usually the result of an injury in which the ankle rolls.
The doctors have concluded that the quickest and safest way to recovery is to repair the bone through surgery. Therefore, Jabari will undergo outpatient surgery tomorrow and they will place a small pin in his foot.
He will require some therapy and is expected to be off the court for the next 6-8 weeks. All decisions concerning his future after this period will be made at a later date. When I know something other than what I am telling you here I promise you guys will hear it first.
Jabari is upbeat and in good spirits. He said to thank you for support and that he will still be on the sideline cheering...Go Vols!
