The only thing that disappointed me from a purely selfish standpoint is he took out the starters at the 4 minute timeout and we didn’t have a chance to give Gabe a standing ovation.

Have you ever rolled an ankle? It's usually not as bad right away but begins to stiffen up when you sit around for a bit. Not surprising he would have a more noticeable limp after sitting on the bench for a bit. It's why guys with ankle injuries that are trying to play will sit on a bike or something to keep it loose.
Indeed. You also don't want to go get hammered every night to the point where you don't think you need your crutches, because that makes it take forever to heal.

Often times when you roll your ankle the pain is in the knee. Thats how all of mine have been, for some reason I always feel the pain in my knee when I roll an ankle
As someone who's studied in the medical field in multiple different forms I have 0 clue what you are talking about

He had a VERY noticeable limp at the end of the game.
IMO The main reason the limp looked really bad at the end of the game was because he had a giant ice pack strapped to his knee. It’s very hard to walk without limping in that scenario. Hopefully he’s ready to roll Saturday.

Are you a doctor? Initially the surge of pain is in my knee. Ive done it about 3 times on my right ankle and twice on my left ankle. Same thing each time, instinct was to grab my knee, which is exactly who Osun did last night.

Anymore, I almost feel like Shoon is backing up Big Rob rather than the other way around.

Shoon came from a system where he basically lurked around in the lane, looking to block shots, grab rebounds and get dunks. In TJ's system where we're constantly switching on defense, Shoon has to defend all over the court, making it more challenging to rack up the blocks, rebounds, and points. I think he's still adjusting to this and it may be causing him some frustration.
Until last night, Osun looked like he was turning a corner and maybe accepting his role a bit more. He has been a different player in conference play, although he didn't look especially sharp last night even before the injury. I know Daniel Batcho is also a tall, freakishly lanky fellow, but he absolutely sent an Osun shot attempt into the next dimension at one point last night. It was such an awful, weak looking attempt on his part, I think Robert Jones may have blushed.

What concerns me is the fact that there was an ice pack on his knee - not ankle.

Usually knee injuries take more time/are harder to come back from than ankles.
I think ice is general preventative sports medicine. Also anything above 6'10" requires a bit more maintenance on joints and back. A lot going on with large frames.

Where does this come from? He's always engaged whether on the court or bench, on any of the post game interviews I've heard him on he seems to be enjoying his transfer to and time spent at ISU.
