Sidibe

[Cheriehoop]

Sad to say but he’s a shadow of the player we saw the first half of the season. He played 7 minutes , had 4 fouls and looked lost out there. Hoping that he heals up fully and returns to contribute like he did when healthy.

probably having surgery once season is done

It’s thrilling to think what he will be next year. What a great center tandem.

I think he will be a stud next year.

I think he will be a stud next year.

IF he can get his knee healthy, I agree 144%.

But that’s, sadly, a big IF.

Cherie, I was so thrilled to see Sidibe’s play early in the season. It is tragic for him and for us that he is so hurt and a testimony to his courage that he is out there. LOVE him!

Surgery will clean it up.

Surgery will clean it up.

Tell that to Greg Oden.

He had a different injury

He had a different injury

I know.

My point is - knee injuries & hoops players = tricky sometimes.

Surgery can’t always fix things.

I am cautiously optimistic that Dib will recover from this, and become the kind of player he’s shown flashes of being.
I know we all certainly hope that’s the case.

But unless & until he’s fully recovered - all bets are off.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

ok, so what the heck kind of knee surgery is he having? I thought it was reported he had patellar tendonitis, an ailment for which surgery makes no sense.

 

[Ryand877]

Bourama Sidibe waits on latest knee treatment, will likely need surgery
Last few paragraphs talk about the surgery.

 

[Lucid]

Oh that Pitt game!

 

[shu 49]

He had a different injury

I’m a positive guy. The rest after surgery will help also.

 

[Trueblue25]

Needs to heal and develop. Hes just a freshman. Will be another year or two

 

[Dcuse]

Hate to be the negative one here but I just don’t see it. Offensively he is light years away from being ANY kind of a post threat. Bad footwork, poor shooting touch and,against the better teams,he is too skinny to match up on the boards. I am dieing for us to get another Rak/ Arinze again.
