You’ve got to be kidding me? WTH, wrap that da— thing so tight he can’t sprain it. This injury stuff here is unreal, I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere like it is here lately.
You seriously can't make this **** up. Unreal!
It's a sprained ankle for hells sake, wish I had a dollar for each and every time I sprained mine playing ball. But they use to rap the hell out of it, and you played on it. May be why I had to have surgery to tighten back up though

I am done with injuries, in fact I am not doing them at all for the next 40 years.
He never was gonna play this year anyway
What exactly do we do in practice that causes our guys to break limbs and stuff.
I have loved the cats since 1968 and I have never seen anything like this on our team or anybody else's team. I mean ever
Popes got a little MS girl drama in him when it comes to “injuries”.
Was his practice even all that good if it was “terrific” and not “beautiful”?

I would think you would only tape a guy's ankles if he already has an existing injury. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to restrict his mobility w/ taping it.
I wonder the same thing. Injuries do happen due to nobody's fault but I have never seen anything like this before. We have guys dropping like flies and we aren't even through season 2.
You have to question our strength and conditioning program under Pope. We have to be near a college basketball record for the number of injuries in 1.5 seasons or we may have already have broken it.
Well according to Goose Givens it’s not from practicing hard so there’s that
I would think so besides a team with a major bus crash or something.
Based on how many spontaneous injuries we also have in games, my guess is our aim in practices is to hit each other with baseball bats just up to the point where we get hairline fractures that are ready to break open in games. But sometimes we just wind up getting seriously injured in practice because, you know, ….it’s not an exact science.
Maybe a hard look at our strength & conditioning staff would be a prudent move. I know JQ arrived injured but goodness something is just a little off.
We can’t help the wrist and feet injuries really but the bad luck with shoulders and everything else is crazy.
