Sam Maniscalco injury

[Da Coach]

Sam Maniscalco left the game late after re-injuring his ankle. SM has been nursing a bum ankle after an injury a while ago. He reinjured it a bit after a fadeaway shot from the corner. He limped off the court, and didn't return. But he is OK and will be fine to play on Friday.

He better be for this game!

R.I.C.E. Sammy! Get well!

Get that ankle in that nice warm 70's weather in Vegas and out of this 30's wind chill LOL. I bet Milos is ready to board the plane right now LOL. He's probably camping out at the airport.

Sam is fine.

SM plays so hard even in practice, diving all over the place, that there's barely been a single day in the past two years when he hasn't been at least nursing an injury or two...
it all rolls off him like water off a duck's back

This is exactly why you do not treat regular season games as, some say, an exhibition, you put it away and have your starters sitting on the bench watching teammates with 10 minutes to play and you do not have players aggravating injuries or getting injured. Play hard all the time put teams away and move on.

But we only have ten players.

Last night, that would have meant playing McCain, DSE, Knezevic, Thompson, and Singh together for the final 10 minutes. I don't see that happening even in an exhibition game!

Then dont treat it like and exhibition. Kick the teams A** from the begining and then you play your walk ons for the last 10 minutes. To have anyone who plays any significant minutes in a game v the team we played last night because we do not put them away early and make the last 10 minutes of the game relevant is no good.

I just dont get the whole well we played combinations, we were experimenting etc. Stop it you play this type of basketball team to end the game early. Stop with the letting off the gas or foot on the throat. Get a flat out killer instinct and end a team like that and with 10 minutes or less to play you do not have Warren, SM, Egolf or anyone remotely starting in the game and they wont get hurt.

I can not even imagine the outrage from Illinois fan if they were letting this team within 9 with 3 to play and McCamey were to have tweaked an ankle. There would be no excuse, yet we have no issues making some sort of excuse or just accepting it or trying to rationalize.

I am not happy at all with SM getting hurt in that game. Completely unacceptable.

He was hurt before the game. He has had the ankle problem for weeks.

Even more reason to not have him play minutes at the end of a game.

Playing him with an injury is on JL and SM, but his having to play at the end of a game is on this team for not putting away PU.

Thank you! I agree 100%

This post is by far the most off base I have ever read on this board. Congratulations!

Here's my reasonable question. If he's been nursing a bum ankle, why was he played in this game against Presbyterian? We certainly would have won it without him. Also, do we tape ankles? I would hope so.
