Mag Injury

[csphi]

Mechanism of injury and amount of pain & immobility exhibited. Best guess unfortunately

Come on man really?
None of us know

 

[RU MAN]

Let’s just hope at the worst he hyperextended it and will only miss a few games. We really need him and if he is out for any extended time Hyatt and Palmquist really need to step up.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Hyatt will need to step up

Simpson will have to step up

lots of orthopedic specialists on ths thread!

You have to feel so bad for Mag. Hopefully, it's something he can recover enough from and return this year, but yeah, it certainly didn't look good and if he's somehow out for the rest of the season, then others just have to step up. That's sports.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

yea we’re not winning if he’s out. This game is gonna go just like every game when we play bad like this, MSU extends the lead, then we get it close, then they pull away at the end and win by 10+.

Really? Lol

Well this post didn't age well, did it?

The trainer knows. Exam reveals positive drawer sign and instability in obvious gross tears.
I've been a team physician (high school) in past & that would be my tentative DX before MRI. I would be very happy to be incorrect.

 

[Jtg=04131996]

The speculation is ridiculous. Could easily be a sprain

 

[mildone_rivals]

How would you know?

I also think there’s a high likelihood it’s an ACL injury. I’ve seen them happen when coaching and they look exactly like what I saw with Mag in slow motion replay and afterwards when he walked off.

Of course nobody knows. I’m hoping it’s something else.

They will have done an anterior (maybe also a posterior) drawer test in the locker room. Even if they did the drawer test(s) and it looked bad, I can speak from experience that sometimes what looks like an ACL or PCL prior to the MRI winds up being inflammation or a bone bruise. Those would be vastly preferable, of course.

Hopefully it is only a knee contusion.

Mag was contesting Caleb for DEPOTY and becoming a real offensive threat. Hard to replace that. Let’s hope it’s something short term. Subbing for him made us go short in defense Spenser and Simpson playing taller opponents.

[Mr. Magoo1]

If he is out, start Palmquist and keep the bench intact.

Haha. Go from great D to no D.

 

[RU206]

How would you know?

I was sitting behind the bench.

 

[Arizona Knight]

I just placed a bet on Mish St to win

Lol

And

 

[RCBeta79]

Haha. Go from great D to no D.

I think you'll see Coach replacing Mag by committee (Hyatt, Reiber, Palmquist, Woolfolk) depending on how they are playing defense and need for more offense (inside or outside shooting game).

Well, this post didn't age well, did it??

 

[wheezer]

Looks like ACL. My guess is done for the year.

My experience with an acl is you stand up then immediately collapse. Happened to me and a friend exactly like that
Then maybe you can walk on it

Spanky, great minds think alike!!

Jameson Williams walked freely after an ACL.

From APP article:

2. Mawot Mag injury

Mawot Mag, who’s really stepped up for Rutgers this season on both ends of the floor, suffered an injury with just more than six minutes to go in the first half. He was attempting a layup, but was hit by Michigan State’s Jaden Akins (Akins got called for the foul) and fell hard to the court.

He was on the floor for a couple minutes while trainer Richard Campbell tended to him. Mag eventually got up and limped off the court into the locker room under his own power before returning to the bench shortly after.

But Mag didn’t start the second half (Oskar Palmquist replaced him) and never returned to the court. He eventually returned to the bench in street clothes with a wrap on his leg.

[Jtung230]

He was really coming on strong. Hope it’s nothing serious and back for the tourney

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Haha. Go from great D to no D.

[Usbcbowler]

I just placed a bet on Mish St to win

So happy you lost. See if scooter will cover half your loss

 

[RU-ROCS]

Looked like an ACL or patella tendon injury

if so, our Tournament hopes just took a HUGE blow. Hope he can return and it’s not an ACL!

 

[Usbcbowler]

If Mag is out the next 2 games those are both losses. Need to get this one.

Hope your predictions hold true like todays

lol….

Maybe our seeding.

 

[sct1111]

The throat slice from the trainer probably means positive special test for some sort of pathology. I'm guessing ACL by the way he landed.

 

[Rokodesh]

Damn I hope he's ok. Tuesday is a quick turnaround. Hard to replace him.

 

[Jtung230]

Now we have a bunch people hoping it’s ACL so they can be right. Miserable RU fans.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

I just placed a bet on Mish St to win

And lost $20

No it probably means “He’s down for today.”

Trying to diagnose anything beyond that is absurd.

 

[bethlehemfan]

What the **** are you talking about? Simpson made 2 idiotic fouls on back-to-back plays. We are not getting ****ed by the refs. Get a grip.

It evened out buddy. All good haha

 

[hinson32]

I just placed a bet on Mish St to win

Hope it wasn't for a lot.

 

[RUChoppin]

lol….

Maybe our seeding.

I think he means our hopes "in" the tournament if he can't get right by then, not our hopes to "make" the tournament.

 

[RUBlackout]

I heard out for the year..would be terrible so fot how well he has played

Just really feel for him

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Pike’s comment in the article didn’t sound good at all. “Really feel for the kid. Will see what the doctor’s say tomorrow”. Or something like that. Sounds like he’s not expecting good news but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
