Jesse Edwards Out For The Season

[MikeSU02]

I thought maybe we could just get away with Symir’s slight injury

Yep... Luck ran out. We are in some trouble.

 

[UpstateSM]

Hopefully the rehab time isn't too bad. He is a summer of development on his left hand in the post away from being an All-American level big.

I'm very sad.

Frank 20
Jimmy 15
Bourama 5?

 

[Grbac]

Benny and Frank, time to step up boys! Prove coach wrong the best way, on the court.

Benny still may not get any extra time.

Wish we could switch Jimmy and Bourama but you are probably right.

Benny still may not get any extra time.

I don’t see how he doesn’t.

 

[Grbac]

I don’t see how he doesn’t.

Only if Jimmy plays Center. Otherwise Frank will slide in at the 5 with Sidibe backing him up.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Why can’t we have nice things at center ever.

 

[rrlbees]

JBA might see a few mins there too

 

[Orangefan1]

Wow what a huge blow

 

[Trueblue25]

Get the pick and roll going between Girard/Symir and Benny/Frank.

Our bench is a lot better than we had thought earlier this year. They are not bucket getters, but they’re the productive high energy type we’ve sorely needed in years past.

I will die on this hill. Frank’s gonna shock a lot of people if Boeheim gives him the chance. I get Rak Jr and T roberts vibes from him.

 

[cuseinseattle]

Sad news. Watching his improvement was the best part of this season.

 

[rrlbees]

Guess that was the breaking news on Packer and Durham that they teased but didn't mention.

I saw that too

 

[CousCuse]

Next man up. Can Sidibe play some minutes? Would be huge.

 

[Caboose]

He is directly responsible for multiple wins from game-changing blocks that resulted in huge turnovers as well as fast break points. Aside from that, his presence as a deterrent, a la Fab Melo, was the single biggest thing he brought to to this team. This is devastating news and completely caught me off guard today.

 

[MikeSU02]

Frank 20
Jimmy 15
Bourama 5?

Is Sid even available to play more than five minutes at a time? Legitimately asking.

 

[two3zone]

Only if Jimmy plays Center. Otherwise Frank will slide in at the 5 with Sidibe backing him up.

Sidibe? Did his knee get better when Jesse hurt his wrist?

 

[Dave]

We gone.

[OrangeYaGladi]

This is going to be a big part of the JB offseason spin machine.

"Well you know we had started to play better, won 4 straight games, then lost our starting center..."

 

[rrlbees]

We haven't had any injury issues all season outside of a little here and there. We were due.

This is why you have depth.

I felt our depth was fine at center. You’re not gonna have 3 guys that expect minutes. Jesse and Frank were a good 1 2 punch. 3rd would be a combo of Sid, JBA, Jimmy. Most teams don’t expect to have a center that can play 20 and be real helpful.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Really terrible news. Heck of a year he had. Loved watching him this year. Sounds like such a fluke play. Any idea when it might have happened?

I see it the same way. Sucks for Jesse but this can be a positive for 2023. We had/have no chance this year
