HMP likely out 2-4 weeks with a knee injury

[Rookie33 932]

I saw a couple posts on Twitter (admittedly by randoms) indicating that HMP sustained a knee injury during practice. Anyone hearing anything about that? If true, it's time for Burton and April to step up with EH. Anyone??

Havent seen anything that would make me truly believe that. Always possible though, I guess.

Oh boy...I searched and found the tweet you're referencing. Tough to tell whether it's true or not, but I'd rather it not be.

Let's hope it's just wannabes making bs up to garner followers.

Wouldn't Crean say something on his radio show? And, who was it that said something on twitter? I'd like to see that.

[djsalway 4,161]

I searched just about everything and couldn't find it. Link or handle?

How bad is that? If true?

[Rookie33 932]

I presume it could jeopardize the rest of his season.

could be done for the year

If there was no break or cartilage tear, recovery time is 6-8 weeks per medlineplus.gov.

I'm getting ahead of myself, let's just hope this isn't true.

Im sure it is. Its IU. We dont have much good luck.

More PT for Colin and Emmit. Would it hurt us that much?

[FKfootball 1,046]

Wouldnt be a major blow, but it sure doesnt help.

I don't think it would hurt that much as far as quality of play, but we need all the big man depth we can get, so yes it would hurt.

yeah, it absolutely would be a major blow. Hanner has had some crap games, but he's had more where he added value and even a few excellent ones. He's developing, may never be anything truly special, but growing and doesn't need any more set backs. Plus, Emmitt would now be our primary option, need to start playing 25+ minutes in the B1G after averaging 11 minutes a game and we'd have April as our only backup if Emmitt got in foul trouble.

Time to see what Burton has.

I'm not sure what a dislocated knee is. Knees don't dislocate. He either tore a ligament or sprained it. Obviously, a tear would mean his season. A sprain would mean 4-8 weeks. I hope this is all a bad dream. Odd that Crean did not address today unless an MRI is pending.
