Someone said he injured in the Columbia game? What's the extent of it?

I don't see anything definitive in that thread as to the extent of the injury. A dislocation being popped back in probably wouldn't have affected him being able to raise the arm above shoulder level. (Yes, it would have hurt significantly but could be done) Nor does it sound like something was torn, because he would have been shut down immediately. Perhaps a separated shoulder? That would be painful, but because it usually involves stretched connective tissue it most likely doesn't require surgery nor does it shut him down. The pain may limit his effectiveness which is why he saw such few minutes on Saturday.

Paul was at the Women's game today. Not that this means much but when he was on the video board, he was waving like crazy! Obviously no contact but hopefully a good sign?
I’ll take that after the way he left the game yesterday.

Concerned that this will be a season-long issue without the proper rest and therapy. He left the game in agony yesterday yelling choice words. Was back on the bench during the second half and didn’t seem to be in pain. It’s good that we don’t play again until Friday.
