Pember injury

[jknox33]

With Uros denied eligibility, all players that have some size are vital. Any news on the ankle injury? I know he’s had some past issues with it. SIAP

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Probably out tomorrow

Pember played in exhibition. When did this happen?

 

[JoAllan]

Late in the exhibition game

When no one........came to help him



I could be way off......and I don’t know

But I thinks maybe he a slight bit of a drama queen. Although I hope he isn’t seriously injured.

 

[Kosmalski]

Maybe someone suggested a brace and he didn't wear one

Who knows. It was weird

 

[jknox33]

It looked bad on the replay. He came down on a players foot.

This thread brings up a good point in the fact of with this team this year, if any of the starters gets injured we are basically screwed.

If Fulky gets injured........Tennessee is seriously screwed.

I’m not saying he is great......but Tennessee needs him more than they needed Grant last year.

We need all 10 of our players to be healthy all year in order to exceed expectations for sure

Probably out tomorrow

That’s what I got from the Barnes interview. His answer for the quick question at the beginning of the interview TN Gal posted I think he said if he didn’t practice today he wouldn’t play tomorrow. The fact he didn’t know if Pember would even practice screams he won’t play tomorrow to me.

Which is fine. Not that he would make the difference, but give Id take a loss tomorrow for a win in December with a healthy Pember.

If we have to depend on Pember for anything other than mop up duty this season, we are in a heap of trouble. He's not ready for SEC level basketball. Maybe in a year or two.

Tennessee has Pons and Olivier To play the spot........I’m fairly sure they “need” Pember for more than just “mop up duty.”

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I thought I read somewhere where they said he'd be out for a while.

 

[sport3500]

Jancek can always step in and give UT a few minutes inside if they have foul troubles in the front court until Pember returns.

 

[RollerVol]

seems we're gonna need a lot of people to step up this season...

GO BIG ORANGE!

 

[WRE3]

I’ll never understand these low too shoes some of them wear now. You’re just asking to roll you ankle.

Pember looks to have a nice offensive skill set. He is rail thin and needs to add strength but looks like a promising young player.

Not to mention having honest / fair officiating and very few games officiated by Doug Shows and / or the LSU fan Anthony Jordan!

In the exhibition game. Remember no one even went to him for a long time.
