Aric Holman out 4 months and possibly for the season. He's got a knee, as JWS would say. Sounds like something he's had for a while.

This sucks. He was going to be counted on.

very disappointing. I was excited to see he and Malik on the court together. That probably won't happen, now. He's long and and glides.

What

is our rate of knee injuries per season, over the last 5 years? 2 a year?

I was thinking the same thing, and what's even worse

is that they rarely seem to happen during an actual game. They're always during practice/work outs or and typically before the season even starts

from what I read yesterday, this sounds like something he was either born with, or has had for a long time. didn't say it was aggravated in pickup ball, or anything. i'm sure they're just taking care of this now, to preserve his long term career

copied from CL article: "The micro fracture surgery is to repair a patellofemoral disorder that causes pain in the front of the knee. It's a result of repetitive stress that wears down cartilage, eventually leading to cartilage detaching from the bone. The procedure could jeopardize Holman's first year in Starkville."

But you're right. Damn, we have some bad luck with knee injuries.

Still going to better and something to watch over last few years.
