Nice that K hooked Obi up with the team doctor for USA Basketball:

It would be great to see a productive Obi next season.

I wonder if they have to use a special surgery table for guys that big? Get better big fella! Your positive attitude and work ethic is great for the team.

Good to hear that he had a successful knee surgery, hopefully he'll have successful rehab and will get a chance to contribute to the team for the remainder of his time as a Blue Devil.

That's great news! It will not be good news if Obi earns much significant PT this season, as that would mean guys with much higher ceilings greatly underachieve. Harry, Amile, Chase, and Bolden should cover every meaningful post minute save a handful of small line-IPs where Jayson may play some default 4.

I hope Obi looks good enough in situational PT that he projects as a valuable contributor his senior year.

Get well, big fella.

Come back strong. OFC

The answer is -- yes. OR tables have extensions to accommodate both length and width.

Before, doing my grad school at Duke, I worked in the Medical Center.

Good Luck Sean... don't rush to get back too soon.

Did that need to be added?

 

[Dattier]

Probably not. Sorry.

Good luck to the big fella. Loved his attitude. Is he a medical red shirt possibility for this year?

 

[jamsession3]

I hope so...six years not too bad.

 

[MyDudeG_rivals]

Really hoping for a speedy recovery for him! He seems like a great kid and his teammates definitely love him.

I wouldn't think so, because he would have likely done that last year when he could barely play. He has already set out a year from the transfer, so maybe he is reluctant to do so again.

But why rush back? Yes, he has the summer and early fall to recover, but get yourself back into playing shape.
