Those have gotta be some crazy one on ones.

Indeed. I never want to rush the summer along but definitely gonna feel like a long drag while we wait for some summer practice videos to drop.

I guess he's hand cuffed?

 

[Cuse'91]

Ugh, this kid can't catch a break. No pun intended.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

RB suspended...PG breaks hand....

Kyle "The Hand" Cuffe?

Wow. Prescient.

 

[Orangezoo]

Sucks but better now than in August. Plenty of time to recover.

 

[Frozen]

Thanks for posting the Cuffe link.

If he broke it punching LeQuint things might finally be making sense.

Is that Marrone in the picture?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Wow. Prescient.

Time to work on his off hand. Make a positive out of a negative situation.

Form shooting, left hand.

Dreaded potato hand.

 

[bballbeadle]

He seems to have weak bones. ???

Dumb question: do teams get an extra scholarship to use if a player gets a medical redshirt (not that a broken hand should take that long to heal)?

 

[Niastri]

I'm guessing you are joking.

Cuffe's first injury was MCL and PCL tears (ligaments in his knee). It is probably just bad luck that he broke his hand, not a pattern.

It's a little like saying Chris Sale having Tommy John surgery two years ago and him having a line drive hit his finger last year are related and indicate a pattern of being injury prone.

It does, however, make it significantly less likely that Cuffe will be playing big minutes this season. He really needed a good summer and preseason to beat out the guys who are likely in front of him.

Practicing shooting with your off hand only helps if you are Hank Gathers.

No, unfortunately. Thirteen scholarship players are the most a team can have. They can have additional non scholarship players. I am not sure of the number but those non scholarship players have to pay for their education and living expenses.

Not gonna stress this one. If it's a simple break it's not a long healing process and easy to stay in shape and recover quickly.

I hope he has a girlfriend.

 

[CardiacCuse]

I hope he broke it on a rim, from dunking too hard

Major bummer. I feel like Cuse is cursed sometimes.
