Jorder Prosser

I really like our lineup with Jordan Prosser and Will Egolf in at the same time, something most have been calling for for a long time.

But what happened to him last night? I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything on here. Is he done for the season as a precaution? I know his knee was relocated right after the injury, but how serious is that? Is it swollen beyond belief now and he's done, or how does that work? A small part of me is hoping that he's good to go since there was no ligament damage, but I truly have no idea how serious a dislocated knee is when it's been replaced....

Doctors??

I would say no chance he plays today or the rest of the weekend if BU wins. Swelling has to be insane and the soreness and pain would be unmanageable on the court. Plus it would risk it happening again this soon.

Honestly, I'm just glad he'll be 100% barring any further injuries come next season.

Rest up, JP!

Jordan suffered a dislocated left kneecap. The kneecap slips off to the outside of the knee. It is extremely painful, mainly because all the muscles go into sudden spasm. That makes it hard to get the kneecap to go back into place sometimes. I have heard of cases where the athlete had to be put under anesthesia to reclocate it. Once it goes back into place, the pain mostly stops, because all the muscles stop spasming.
The first time an athlete suffers this injury, there is some tissue damage to tissues around the knee. When it happens to a kid who is still growing, it often does not require surgery, since it can strengthen as the kid grows. But if it happens a second time or multiple times, it may need some minor surgery to fix it so it doesn't keep dislocating.

So Jordan seemed OK last night. He was not having much pain. But he was on crutches, as the doctors did not want to take any chances until he could have an MRI to be sure there weren't more internal knee injuries.
He probably will not play, but I have also heard of cases where kids played right after a dislocated kneecap, especially when it is a recurrent episode.

Sounds similar to Shaun Livingston injury except, thankfully, much less severe. I'd think if there is no structural or ligament damage that a player could play soon after with a good knee brace for support. One day is asking a lot but if BU could miraculously make it to Sunday yajusneverknow.
