Bourama Sidibe has a torn meniscus

Well, not great news -- but could have been a LOT worse.

With the access to trainers / physical therapy these athletes receive, 4 weeks should be doable.

Yeah I guess this gets him back for the bulk of the conference season. Not great but definitely could have been worse.
 
It's a cartilage injury, NOT a ligament issue.

I tore my meniscus and was “back” in about 6 weeks ...although my back was pickup and not high level hoops lol. He must have had a horizontal tear which is easiest to repair. Some meniscus recoveries are months and months so this is good news all things considered
 
I don't think Marek starts at center in the near term. Frank or Jesse, just to see what they'll be able to do in the opening minutes. If any of the next several games are in doubt, say 10 minutes in, that's when we'll see Marek move over to the center spot.

In the end, this unfortunate development could end up paying dividends later in the season...
 
Kick in the nuts. Poor kid has not exactly been too lucky on the injury front since joining the program.
The worst part of all of this for him (and us) is that he looked to be really hitting his stride. He was boarding with conviction, finishing with conviction. I was really hoping to see JB dialing up some touches for him to see what he could do with them because he does have a strong handle on how to use the pivot foot in the low block.

Ugh!

JB said in the post game press conference it will be Marek. But he could always change his mind. But I doubt it
 
so, you are saying there is an asterisk on this season? A beleaguered football coach is asking.

The entire season of football - and I will assume basketball as well - has taken on an aura of unreality. I am very glad to watch games but for me there is also a bit of detachment. (If we play well and start winning, I am sure I will go from detachment to attachment!) I was walking the other day and saw a neighbor who drove me to and from all the games one season. I greeted him and then said, “So, Dave, basketball is starting up!” He’s an older man. He just stared at me and said, “I don’t care.”

I kind of get it.
 
Marek needs to play 35+ minutes every game for us to hit our ceiling and he’s just not going to do that playing center against P5 teams.

Not his fault he’s just not built to play extended minutes at the 5 without fouling
