McMorrow Injury

[JSwarriors08]

I just saw Liam McMorrow outside of my last class, and he was wearing a large boot on his right foot.  He was moving pretty gingerly.  Anyone know if it's anything serious?

[4everwarriors]

Nah, he's just wearing a boot to make a fashion statement. Relax, he has a year to recover.

[Mufflers]

In the past, I haven't cared about player injuries unless it affected immediate production.  However, MU seems to have gotten a lot of injuries in the past few years that have stunted development.

Perhaps Chris Grimm stopped by and McMorrow kicked him in the face.

I heard he was practicing Tae Kwon Do with his foot.

.....a Damon Key Elbow....

[ecompt]

maybe he twisted the foot at ballet practice. 

[JSwarriors08]

Maybe he'll miraculously end up playing with little to no effect on some of the last few games this year and will subsequently transfer to Miami-Dade

That's because Grimm is so tough McMorrow's foot shattered on impact. The Reaper was unharmed. BTW Chris just signed a contract in Switzerland for those wondering how he was doing these days.

[Pakuni]

Word is he injured his foot blocking a slap shot from the point.

THREAD HIJACK!

Update his MUWiki YO!

[TVDirector]

I hear he dropped Paul Bunyons ax on his foot while wrestling a Labatts away from Babe the Blue ox.

[The Lens]

He hurt it when the team was helping TC move out of his Mequon home...McMorrow was carrying TC's ego, dropped it and shatted his foot in 1,000 pieces.  The ego, made of teflon, was unharmed.

(It's a not a thread until someone taunts TC)

He's a hockey player from Canada, he will be fine given time.  If it was caused by the phenomenal aggressive play of Otule and Burke would it be acceptable?

Of course 

[muwarrior87]

he has a stress fracture in his 5th metatarsal. seriously. Don't know how long he'll be laid up but this does impact him and the rest of the bigs since getting reps against a 7 footer in practice is always helpful.  Hopefully he can take this time to get caught up on the game and improve his bball IQ.

[4everwarriors]

Did he get injured at "Boot Camp?" Sounds like he'd fit right in with the Badgers. Stress fractures are no big thing in Madison.

I always hate hearing when big men have stress fractures in their feet.  The treatment of these injuries has gotten better over the years, but stress fractures in the feet cut Bill Walton's career short and kept Zydrunas Ilgauskas out for a couple of years.  The jury is still out with Yao who had surgery in March.  Since I don't know much about Liam's injury, I don't know how similar it is to the injuries these other players had.  Hopefully Liam is getting the best medical care and this will be back in action soon with no lingering problems.

[Murffieus]

Also recall that Kinsella had a stress fracture.

Never heard of  a "stress facture" until the last 15 years or so----can't ever recall the symtoms that in today's world are describe as a "stress fracture" developing 30-40-50 years ago.

[tower912]

Pretty sure that Bill Walton was experiencing these problems 25-30 years ago, but that is splitting hairs.

Don't forget about the Dunkin' Dutchman.  Rik Smits went from one of the best offensive bigs to out of the league in a very short period of time due to foot troubles.  I hope this isn't a severe injury, as McMorrow sounds promising.

You didn't have MRI machines to make the diagnosis back then. 

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone, not easily picked up by standard X-rays.
Stress fractures are caused by repetitive use or overuse — such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances.

Incorrect.

It's because back then they knew how to tape ankles and feet properly to avoid injuries like this.

It's truly a lost art.

[The Man in Gold]

Rub some dirt on it.  He'll be fine.

Considering that sports training has turned into a full year commitment, I am not surprised.  No one takes a break these days from going all out all year long, so maturing bodies get beat up daily until eventually the body can't take the pounding anymore and start breaking down.
