Now that you mention it, I thought Fox’s decision to show that was a little much.  That was a private moment between the athlete and the trainer.  There’s such a thing as too much access.  I don’t think dramatizing a person’s anguish, especially an amateur athlete’s, makes for particularly good television.  Physical anguish, that is.  Showing a kid crying in the standstotal d-bag crying on the bench because their favorite team is losinghe thought his punk ass action got him ejected?  That’s incredibly mean, but always hilarious.

FIFY.

I think he was just off on his free throw shooting, and shooting in general.  If his wrist was affecting his free throws, Wojo could have easily had Sam shoot the technicals.  And with Markus missing as many shots and free throws as he did, I was surprised Sammy didn’t get the call to shoot some of the later tech shots.

He has to say that, I will bet dollars to donuts when this thing is over we are going to find out how truly hurt he has been, but not until the season is over.

Did anyone go to the open practice today?  If so, how did Marcus look?

I wonder if playing him is dumb and/or dangerous?

I don't think we would be doing that nor would he accept that.  If you mean risking further injury.  Timing has everything to do with it.  A few weeks ago, interesting question.   :-X

Full news conference.  Markus and Ja know each other from the CPIII camp.  Other than that, pretty boilerplate.

Won’t have BE refs.  All that bumping will be called in the NCAAs.

Big East play has never been helpful in the NCAA tournament.  However, the exception proves the rule, Villanova has found a way.

No offense, but your record on "other shoes dropping later" is abysmal.

So why would he take precautions with an uninjured wrist? Just wondering.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out it is hurt worse.  From the taping the last number of games to the tunnel shot at MSG.  To his shooting %.

FWIW, it wasn't wrapped on Sunday during the selection show.  I would think that if it was hurt really bad, they would keep something on it even when he wasn't playing.
Have some patience, FFS.

Any true Warrior would say exactly this, even if it's still bothering him some. Hoping that it's mostly true!

As for the couple posters talking about this being why it's best to keep these things secret ... I get what you're saying but Markus was grabbing his wrist and shaking his hand constantly, and the wrist was pretty heavily taped. A person would have to be blind not to see his wrist was hurt.

He said it was " all good" not uninjured. Months after a slipped disc I took precautions with everything still.

Related to wrists, wife sprained her wrist in a bike crash at about 20 mph and was pretty functional by day 8. So who knows.

I just hope he is like 80-90%.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

True at this point.  I did hear some blow back on Fox for showing him during his examination in the tunnel. 

That said, SH (McKnight) did chop down on it.

Of course he did, the team is full of scumbags, a reflection of the coach

He didn’t look taped up in the photos from practice today either

LOL.  It's been pretty good actually, just because you didn't get the one thing you desperately want doesn't change the overall.  By the way, he gone...those shoes dropped long ago. 

Don't confuse me with #donedeal.

Ya'll  sound like he was back here in Milw just sitting around....  No, he was back here getting the proper Physical Therapy and treatments he needed, daily, hourly, as needed.  Not like us regular people not having the resources or the funds to get the same treatment...  RELAX ! ! !   8-)
