JJeff Injury Updates

[CloneJD]

Fair enough but what else is he going to say? I have a hard time believing he's coming back from a bad sprain in the next few weeks. He out until at least a possible Final Four game

Aren’t you a plumber?

 

[besserheimerphat]

Yeah obviously coaches aren’t gonna say anything until tip on Sunday id be very shocked if he played. I’ve worked in sports med and orthopedics the last 10 years, he’s a D1 athlete he will recover quicker than your usual person but it’s a tall ask to be ready in 48 hours

You said he's done at ISU, implying that even if ISU were to make the Finals he wouldn't be able to play. Or you just really think we have NO chance against Kentucky?

No. You're a legal assistant right?

 

[GoSTATE71]

Where exactly did I call you an idiot? I'd like to know. Background or not...

Hand up, you didn’t Jacktronic or whatever did. Apologies. Gonna just log out for a bit cause clearly I’m worked up over this injury and what it could mean for our postseason. Hope for the best for Jefferson. See you guys Sunday.

 

[cycloner29]

Hopefully he can go all Willis Reed
for us!

You’re right I never played D1 my basketball playing days didn’t expand past high school. Jefferson also has a pro career ahead of him and risking that would be a little foolish even though he clearly loves Iowa State. It’s a tough ankle sprain, I hope he plays Sunday but I’m highly pessimistic on it. Next man up

Pro career???? Its a sprained ankle dude! My goodness! You are acting like he has a severe medical condition and is risking death by playing a game of basketball!

My favorite part of CF is that we have experts on every single topic here, and miraculously they’re always the same people.

 

[NENick]

I've always heard that a sprain can be worse than a break. I have NO medical credentials!

It does seem unlikely he can be effective on Sunday, so I'm hoping for Milan to be on fire, the supporting cast to play as well as today, and Tamin to bounce back with a great game.

I'll worry about next week when it comes.

Hey he was solving the Ashley Okland murder a few days ago, what’d you do this week?!

 

[chuckd4735]

We'll see. Do you have evidence of guys coming back fast after being on crutches and helped off the court on short notice? You seem like you are in denial more than anything.

I had a low ankle sprain playing ultimate frisbee back in 2008. I couldn't walk off the field and couldn't walk the next day. The day after that I was able to walk gingerly, and was generally fine in a week. That was with zero treatment.

Again DeAndre Kane had a sprain ankle and literally had to be picked up and carried off the court. 2 days later he started and played 37 minutes.

 

[dahliaclone]

Sure buddy, you’re actually an idiot if you watched Jefferson writhing in pain and couldn’t put a touch of pressure on the ankle and thinking he will play again anytime soon

You need to step away from your phone/laptop. You go into full tilt so ******* fast.

 

[GoSTATE71]

If they shoot well and rebound yes they absolutely have a chance. That was gonna be a tough game with or without jefferson

 

[alenz95]

Well. This thread is going swimmingly.

I’ve had several ankle sprains and I’d be a bit shocked to see him Sunday. My hope is for the Sweet Sixteen or Elite Eight, and that might be overly optimistic

 

[Kaner04]

Reports are he just had the leg amputated

And they are wrong more times than not.

We get it. You start this thread saying 'he's done. he's never playing for iowa state again'. now you're 'well i'd be shocked if he played.' you're an emo poster with nothing but cliffjumper takes.

 

[besserheimerphat]

Well. This thread is going swimmingly predictably.

 

[clonehome]

It’s 2026 for God’s sake. Can we not find a faith healer to touch his ankle? I’m not closing any doors at this point.

If Heise and Toure keep shooting like that this team can win it all if Joshua comes back. Just have to get Kentucky on Sunday.
