Smith Injury

[SJUDave]

Imo, think long term and don’t risk playing Smith if med staff has even a modest concern

Agreed, give him a full week until Seton Hall, if not after that. Smith is too vital to the team success this season to further injure.

That being said, this is also the same shoulder he injured in the preseason where he got a cortisone shot.

I don't blame Nova because I'd also be yelling to do it. But Smith taking those screens were brutal to watch. He was in immediate pain.

One thing I was thinking from the stands is that it would've been hilarious to see/hear John Fanta's reaction if this was on FS1. If he gets that excited about Ashworth, what would his reaction have been to this?!

Also yelling to do what? Did Nova yell to hit Smith?

Put Smith on screens. It was nothing malicious.

“The Fugitive” actual killer?

Agree, especially since Smith is not the type to hold back.

"I didn't kill my wife"

"I don't care"

Classic scene

No reason to rush it Dev

Except for those here who deem tomorrow another must win.

“Must recover” injury

 

[bucketshardy]

Dev is greatly important.... some might even say... Bigly.... to the success of our team... BUT

if there was ever a stretch in a Schedule to "rest" and get "right".... it would be these next 5 games:
-GTown - Home
-SH - Away (gonna be a home game)
-X - Home
-GTown - Away
-Prov - Home

need him 100% on Feb 4

 

[paultzman]

Sit please

Sounds much better than the initial dislocation that was being spoken about. That injury is more worrisome to me. If he is already shooting around and testing it thats great news.

 

[guinness77]

He's a warrior. Not missing any time.

Come Out and Play...(Line was actually an ad-lib. Definitely top 3 adlibbed lines ever. Bogie at the end of Casablanca "This is the Beginning of a beautiful friendship" and Ratso Rizzo "I'm Walking Here!!!")

Not to derail the thread, but Rick Moranis in the party scene with his business people in Ghostbusters (ok, who brought the dog) and John Candy in Home Alone (every scene) are completely ad-libbed.

I would sit him for GTOWN!

Deivon can make up for this lost time by coming back next year....wink wink....

 

[redmen4life]

Sit please

we need him more for saturday than tomorrow .

 

[redmen4life]

I'd keep his shoulder on a sling so he isn't tempted to use it.

he needs rest, ice, and ibuprofen.

Luckily for everyone involved, it really seems like that Georgia game/suspension was a wake-up call and he's developing into a leader AND he's enjoying himself here.

I appreciate the DM's but i have been asked to refrain from giving medical updates on players before they themselves or the university speak on them...a position i both understand and will respect going forward.
