Tonight in the game? When?

He left with the injury in the second half of tonights game

Well, I was calling for Cole-Scott to come in with about 10 minutes left. Darn it.

[DUBrave5]

Sorry for the misinformation earlier then, I was told that it was just a finger.

[ER3]

Well, if it is a broken bone in his hand rather than a broken finger, that is bad, bad news.
There are things that can be done with broken fingers on a non-shooting hand that would give a kid a chance to play effectively...but a broken hand, not a lot that you can do. Tough break for AW and BU. Maniscalco and *gulp* Cole-Scott are going to have to step it up without having Warren in the mix.

[bugregshu]

I'd like to see Theron Wilson get a little bit of time at the 3 position, with Salley, Austin, and Singh sharing some time at the 4 and 5.

I'm with bugregshu. Go to the two bigs. Looked good tonight, hehe, then again, everything looked good tonight.

Andrew Warren Suffers Broken Hand
PEORIA, Ill. ??“ Saturday??™s 87-59 Missouri Valley Conference victory versus Creighton came with a price for the Bradley men??™s basketball team. Sophomore guard Andrew Warren (Indianapolis, Ind./Brebeuf Jesuit Prep) broke a bone in his left (non-shooting) hand late in the game and his status for the season??™s closing stretch is undetermined, pending further evaluation.

A leading candidate for The Valley??™s Most Improved Player award, Warren is one of two Bradley players to start all 27 games this season and he is the team??™s third-leading scorer at 13.1 points per game. The 6-foot-5 guard contributed 13 points and tied his career-high with seven rebounds in Saturday??™s win against the Bluejays.

The Braves (15-12, 8-7 MVC), winners of seven of their last nine games, will return to action Tuesday by visiting Valley regular-season champion #14 Drake in a 7:35 p.m. game to be televised on the MVC-TV Network (FSN Midwest, Comcast SportsNet Chicago, FSN Indiana and MetroSports in Kansas City).

Has anyone heard how long WE will be out? I will be surprised if AW plays again this season.....but I hope he does....AW is becoming a future force in the Valley IMO and would be missed!

[MacabreMob]

Well, I was calling for Cole-Scott to come in with about 10 minutes left. Darn it.

I mentioned in the Chat Room (at about the 14:00 minute mark) that with such a big lead, no need to risk injury and wearing down of starters (and I feel that way against about anyone we play)..... we shoulda been experimenting/resting players more EARLIER than later.

I hope AW has a swift successful recovery!

[Guinness]

Hopefully its nothing major. Didnt someone break their hand last year? I remember an injury that did not last long.

[jasonpeoria911]

My guess is Andrew will likely be out for rest of season unless we miraculously make it deep into the big dance. With a minor fracture of the non shooting hand, he might of had a chance to play with a brace but he was in severe pain the moment it happened and had a bad grimace on his face as the trainer was working on it up until they took him to the locker room. So it's likely a major break that will require at least a month or 2 to heal. With how bad of pain he was in, we'll likely find out a time table by mid week as they'll either do surgery or put it in a cast.

We don't know all the incidentals.
If Andrew has a non-displaced fracture, and if it is splinted, he could play.
But the team docs will decide based on Andrews best interests.
If you are reading, Andrew, God bless you and get well, we love watching you, and hope you're back soon!
