Rak's thumb/hand/wrist

[pearl31]

Anyone got anything?

 

[jekelish]

I don't have any of those items. You might check eBay.

I mentioned in another post that he was wincing a lot. I'm not sure if it was the hand or something else.

Did it happen before tonight?

Did it happen before tonight?

I noticed in jarhead's pictures posts that his hand wasn't wrapped...and then, right before tip...it was.

His hand was wrapped , in fact I thought I saw it in one of jarheads' pictures. He then seemed to re-injure it under GT's basket late in the 2nd half. He was wincing , holding his left hand and opening and closing his fist. Surprised that it wasn't questioned and discussed in JB's presser. Was it?

 

[iommi]

I did not see the wrap in jarhead's first few pics.

what's up with our big men hurting their hands/fingers? I don't think I have a memory of Keita not having athletic tape all over his hand.

Mean culpa, Cherie. Guess it's time for me to visit an optometrist.

Anyone remember anything in the Vtech game?

Syracuse basketball center Rakeem Christmas says wrap on his left hand is 'nothing' (PS: Carlson)

 

[tbonezone]

don't know what's up but raxmas looked very uncomfortable 2nd half. i was hoping it wasn't a back issue.
he was jammed rather hard underneath once tonite and looked to get bent back kinda awkward

yeah, that's what I was afraid of, reading his body language.

I'm just glad it didn't affect his stroke from the FT stripe at the end of the game...

 

[Delmar]

I winced a lot during the game, and my wrist is fine.

 

[iommi]

See: I knew I wasn't hallucinating. Roc is under the basket WITHOUT a wrap on his hand. He must've hurt it later on in warmups??

Cherie...see the pic I posted above...no wrap!

Strange, I noticed the wrap in Jarhead's pictures and didn't look that he didn't have one and then did. Seems strange that he would have hurt it in warmups.

It's possible it was hurt but wasn't wrapped for the first round of warmups... I was concerned something else was amiss becuse he kept bending over and making faces. He was seriously bothered by something and it didn't seem to be just his hand, but what the heck do I know?

I don't think being "road-graded", (Matt Park's term) into the stanchion helped him much.

 

[BludOrange]

They said during the broadcast that he did not participate in the 2nd half warmup line.

 

[JDubbin]

Not specific to Rak's hand, but does it seem like Christmas gets hacked multiple times during games without a call? A couple of times tonight he faced up and drove the ball, only to have it "blocked" by at GT defender... which seemed to consist of coming across his body and arms to do so. Maybe I am viewing things incorrectly, but it seemed like it to me... bruh can't catch a call. To Rak's credit he seemed to handle himself well on the complaining front.

Hopefully it isn't a back issue. I can understand how he'd have one but those are painful, nagging and difficult to heal.
