Wayne Chism injured

[Bassmanbruno]

Apparently he got injured in practice - nothing is confirmed at this point but hopefully it isn't too serious if it's true... found it on the scout board.

I'm watching the news in hopes of a good report.

If anyone is subscribed to volquest - I think they have some info there...

 

[dickens821]

It's just posts on the pay message board, I believe.

KNS/GoVolsXtra should have something up as soon as more information is out.

Talk about timing.

 

[dickens821]

Gosh, I really hope he is ok.

:no:

 

[Bassmanbruno]

C'mon you people who actually spend money to get on Volquest! There are some updates I'm fairly sure in those threads.

 

[dickens821]

It's on the news next.

this preseason has had a bad vibe with it... hope that changes once the season starts

 

[dickens821]

All they are saying is he's at UT Med Center being evaluated. They aren't sure how he was injured... UT should release a statement later this evening.


That's all.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Lol....

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Hope he's ok...

"Pearl said Chism was injured when Jordan Howell drove to the basket and caught him with an elbow to the head. The blow appeared to stagger Chism, who fell to the floor and was knocked unconscious. Chism was transported to the hospital on a stretcher with a neck brace."

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Jeez all from an elbow? Sounds like it could be real serious if something little did that?

I'd say he probably suffered a concussion.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Knocked him out though... must be a real real bad one. I wonder if he was back with things when they had him on the stretcher to the hospital or if he was still knocked out.

 

[dickens821]

He had an MRI and CAT Scan and everything came back negative. So that's good. But an elbow to the right spot (temple) will knock you down, and from 6'9" inches falling to hardwood, it would knock any of us out.

ouch. atleast Pearl is drilling them hard though.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Whew.. :clapping:

Get well soon Chism.. won't be able to play in the ex. game this friday will he?

This team will be the toughest, best conditioned team Tennessee has ever had.
