Is Dalton Knecht okay? What happened?

I disagree if it was a minor angle turn.
I'm not saying it's a slam dunk that he misses the next two. I just doubt they have much access to 24-hr therapy away from home, and he was pretty immediately ruled out of the Syracuse game. Spent the rest of the game in a compression sleeve with his sock and shoe off.

I thought they ruled him out early to preserve him for the next game, not because it was severe.

You can buy a TENS unit at any Walgreens.

I mean, we were losing when he left the game. Not sure why you preserve our only other experienced post player in a game you're losing.
Let him get treatment overnight. Many times they assess at halftime anyway. By halftime I didn't think we were going to lose.

I saw when he returned to the court and he reentered the game. He seemed okay. Could it have been cramps? Initially what the announcers thought. Knecht is vital to this team already. He makes things happen in a variety of ways and especially when the offense wants to go back to the previous year's dry spells during a game.

Injuries scare me because this team has so much potential, and the new players are complementing this year's team so well this far. Also, the BVS is always dogging me. The football team got 2 exciting new guys in the portal and Pilli and Thornton are both out for the year.

It was definitely cramps - if you look back, you can see him nod his head at someone on bench and mouth "cramp" - almost like he was reassuring a parent in the stands he was ok.
But dang, cramps hurt like hades if you have ever had them - not a minor pain.

It's hard to see what happens with Awaka's foot/ankle because espn's graphics are covering it. He injures it at this mark setting a screen:



Seems like he might have planted and turned it. Maybe his foot got tangled with the other player's, possibly stepped on.

He amazingly grabs an offensive rebound right after he injures it. He really has that Rodman sixth rebounding sense.

Did they ever show a replay of Awaka's injury from another angle?
