Donnie Freeman Injury Updates (Not Out)

Isn't that the same early quote that he made last year after the injury?
Adrian Autry provided several updates on Donnie Freeman's lower leg/foot injury that occurred during the 2024-2025 season.

• In January 2025, after a game against Georgia Tech, Autry said Freeman had a lower leg injury and that he thought it was "day-to-day."

• Later in January 2025, Autry provided an update that Freeman was still rehabbing and that his return would be up to himself and his family.

• In early February 2025, Autry said they would need to "figure out what's the plan" for Freeman, stating that he hoped to know within the upcoming week whether he would play or shut it down for the season.

• Freeman was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the season in February 2025.
 

Two weeks ago, Syracuse head coach Adrian Autry said Freeman’s decision to either return or shut it down for the season was “more about the healing process and seeing where he’s at.”
Autry said that the decision ultimately
“would be his call. His and his family.”
Freeman appeared in 14 games for the Orange this season. After initially being listed as “day-to-day” with a lower right leg injury on Jan. 8, Freeman has missed Syracuse’s last nine games.

he didnt have a season ending injury last year, though...he had a minor injury and decided to shut it down.

now looks like something similar...no?
He had a fractured metatarsal and had surgery in February. Your definition of minor is...interesting.
 
Does anybody have any inside knowledge if Freeman is gonna be back for Tennessee?

Caution and patience are key here for Donnie. We need him healthy for as much of the season as possible and for his pro prospects.
 
None of this stuff with Donnie's current injury makes a lot of sense. Why did he travel with the team instead of staying behind and getting comprehensive treatments with the trainers and medical specialists? Traveling to Vegas did absolutely nothing to accelerate the healing process from whatever he has. I personally am not convinced that it is unrelated to the prior 5th metatarsal fracture. I hope it's not but wearing a boot on that same foot is a red flag regardless of what kind of statement was released from the athletic department. Some clarity would be nice. If he doesn't play against Tennessee then I fear the communication style reminiscent of when Arinze was injured.

He's faking the injury so he can redshirt, transfer to Duke, and go off for 25 & 10 every time he plays against us.
 
My source said the reason he's wearing a boot is that his foot is gone. Yes, it was surgically removed by a specialist in Las Vegas. Apparently, he's the only doctor in the U.S. that performs unnecessary amputations (as an aside, he also performs weddings in a chapel through a side door of his OR).
My source is often wrong, so take this with a grain of salt.

I know someone who visited that chapel in Vegas..

For the wedding, not the amputation.

So the rumor I hear about the peg leg is true...
