Has anyone heard anything about Myles Johnson's injury? In addition to the bad fall he took in the 1st half, he appeared to damage something in his leg or ankle. If he's well under 100%, then we will be at a big disadvantage. Over the moon about last night's thrilling win, especially since my son and daughter-in-law are Clemson graduates (although my son also has an RU graduate degree), but concerned about Myles' health status.
Possible Myles' injuries?

I did not see a twist. Sort of looked like Achilles anyone else see it that way. Which would be huge worry
He rolled his ankle on that rebound. Probably very sore today. Assuming no structural damage, tape it, get him good and warm, and he should be ok.
He was celebrating with team on court after game.
Woukd think if it was really worrisome he wouldn’t have been able to

I'm not too worried about the hip/back thing, probably just a bruise. Very worried about the ankle. Myles was noticeably limping to join the celebration when the game ended. A low ankle sprain would be much better (obviously) than a high ankle sprain, but I'm not too optimistic that we will see Myles on the court tomorrow.
Tape it heavy.
If he can’t go, simplify Cliff’s job.
Cliff can be effective around the rim finishing if he’s set up. Good hands and explosive. Can he be as effective in the glass as Myles is the question. He does need to put that jumper on ice for rest of tourney though lol.
Not practicing today. .getting treatment.... They won't know more until he tries to get going in that ankle. So we wait.
per Pike, via Sargent:
“He’s getting treated; won’t practice today,’' Pikiell said early Saturday afternoon. “Hopefully he’ll be okay. Don’t know anything more than that until he tries to move on that.’'

Losing him on defense would be highly unfortunate, but i think playing Cliff, Caleb and even Mathis more allows for a faster ‘street’ type of offensive game some of the players are better suited to.
Myles and Paul bog the offense down it seems, because they often hold the ball without being a threat to make a move.

It was higher. You are right. They were treating it like a cramp, stretching it out. But I never saw a cramp there
