Is Dalton Knecht okay? What happened?

[madbamahater]

Saw him go out and missed most of second half.

 

[RockyTop140]

Looks like cramps. He will be fine

Cramps. I think Barnes may have chosen to simply not risk it with a lead since you have 3 games in 3 days and you've already lost Dilione and Awaka.

Is Awaka okay? saw him go out but did not have the sound on for most of the game

He seems to have sprained his ankle.

Looked like some sort of compression sock on him while on the bench.

I'd be surprised if we see Awaka again this week. Probably want to get him healed and rested for UNC.

 

[CornbreadVol]

Damn. At least it should be a good opportunity for Phillips/JP to get some more minutes

I disagree if it was a minor angle turn.

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.

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.

What’s the resolution on your ankle sprain drone?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I disagree if it was a minor angle turn.

Even if it is mild, no need to risk further injury. We will be intensely competitive anyway.

Knecht also looked like he forgot his sunscreen

You can buy a TENS unit at any Walgreens.

I think he just turns red from playing his ass off

Yeah he turns red about 5 min into most games.

Let him get treatment overnight. Many times they assess at halftime anyway. By halftime I didn't think we were going to lose.

I am not sure if you are being funny or picking at my post.

I agree no need to risk. None of us know the situation at this time. I still could see him playing if the trainers say all is well.

He seems to look that way after each game

 

[LibertyVolance]

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.

 

[movinonup]

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.

 

[roberthunter]

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?
