In my opinion, it's an injury that hasn't improved and he's still tried to give it a go. At this point, if it's a lower body injury and you can't move at +80% you're likely to really get taken advantage of at the D1 level. With a lose and go home situation now you just don't have minutes to risk not being at your best.
Hopefully, Lipsey isn't in the same boat by Friday. I'll be keeping a close eye on him those first few minutes to see if something flares up. In a perfect world we get a sizeable lead early and can rest Tamin until Sunday.

He said it's been bothering him since Colorado game on December 30. Trainers have stated the type of injury doesn't heal quickly.
Maybe. But Lipsey has played better without Gilbert as he’s tried finding his own shot. And Heise has picked it up since Gilbert’s been out. So I don’t think it’s the same as Niang getting hurt so late that there wasn’t a chance to adjust without him. There’s going to be a lot more pressure on Jefferson and Momcilovic.
Have you ever had a groin injury? For all we know it could be a sports hernia.
I think it's just a thing where the injury is worse than it was and that's it. As @Cyched said he was with the team int he selection show.
He tried to go last Wednesday and struggled.
I just can't bring myself to believe that a fierce competitor like Keshon would sit this out voluntarily. I'm thinking, like it was mentioned above, that he more severely injured it in his last game and they kept that under wraps to not give the committee any reason to drop us a seed.
If Lipsey is good to go, Jefferson needs to make this his tournament.
These guys can still make an Elite Eight without Keshon. I believe TJ when he says their best basketball is yet to be played this year. I look forward to seeing it.
So why did he keep playing at that point? Seems counter productive if the end goal is the NCAA tournament.
Because he could move on it but it possibly got worse. He was limping in a lot of games.
It may have just been a strain that they couldn't get to heal right and it finally tore.
That doesn't mean the end goal wasn't the NCAA tournament.
Seems strange to rule him out all tournament vs just first weekend. That infamous tweet speaks louder today
Keshon's ability to pressure opponents' guards will be greatly missed. Even as he has struggled on offense, he seemed to still be a force on D.
We are just snakebit for March Madness. Mich St, Hampton, Niang foot, seems I'm missing more. F!
My guess is: it’s a Lisfranc type injury and he’s getting advice to sit.
Because a re-injury leading to surgery can be a year.
