How dare you deny CW such a easy revenue stream. Blind speculation is the best!
JJeff Injury Updates

At this point, it is what it is. If he can come back , it will be at a limited capacity, most likely. The rest of the team needs to continue to step up. Sucks, but there is still a lot of talent on this team, and great coaches that can work around his absence.
Understandably against weak competition, but I loved the aggressiveness from Heise and Toure. Unlocking close to that for the remaining game(s) could likely make up for no JJ.
It had better have been Zeno's pizza otherwise this is a fake story.
With or without JJ, Heise and or Toure being aggressive was necessary to get beyond a sweet 16 in my opinion. They don’t need to be elite like they were yesterday, just aggressive attacking the rim and catching and shooting with confidence.
Maybe this will be the perfect storm of the injury unlocking two critical guys’ aggression to another level, then JJ comes back on Friday and can go at 80-90%.
We don't need either of them thinking they're a star; just don't hesitate when the play is there. Play with confidence.
Cyclone Larry tweeted that CW said he thinks he plays on Sunday on the two guys podcasts, if I'm following Larry's tweet correctly.
Yeah rumours are the tide is turning, we shall see, someone has some powerful prayers if true.
Also Nelson is back so morale is sky high.

Anytime you have any type of ankle injury you never supposed to put any weight on it. if you keep the swelling down and the right treatment it is amassing with the way they treat it you definitely have a chance to be playing next week. Depending on the injury may not be playing tomorrow.
Word inside the program he is pushing to play tomorrow.
For everyone saying he was done as a Cyclone...c'mon man!
Find a way to survive and advance!

Didn’t Mateen Cleaves had a nasty rolled ankle back in the 2000 Final 4 or National Championship game and came back?
Every ankle sprain is different, so we really don't know. But if it's bad enough that they were taking X-rays, I would think there's little chance of him playing tomorrow. Even if he was able to play at 75%, it would be wise to sit him and let it heal better.
It's greasy because they use provolone cheese instead of mozzarella. Over priced, yes and not as good since ownership changed.
Yes! ISU only has two starters who can consistently score in the half court, with JJ being one. We also need his interior defense and rebounding. If he doesn’t play tomorrow, Pleta will need to step up and stay out of foul trouble. The key will be keeping UK off the offensive glass.
He acknowledged yesterday in his locker room interview that coming back at 50% wouldn’t be beneficial to the team so I think he’ll use good judgement on whether to play tomorrow or not.
His mom also had a vaguely optimistic tweet either late last night or this morning.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario of a significant ankle injury where they wouldn't do the x-ray. I don't think he'll play tomorrow, but I wouldn't bet against next week if we advance.
