Some bad news
-
Doke wearing brace on wrist, big brace. Not sure on prognosis. Heard one rumor hand was broken
-
@Crimsonorblue22 oh noâŚ
-
Sorry didnât see your post @Crimsonorblue22. I posted the picture
-
@BeddieKU23 thatâs not a cast though?
-
Not a hand specialist lol. Maybe they waiting for the swelling to go down before deciding what to do?
-
Could be pre-caution as well but thatâs never good
-
@BeddieKU23 you are getting depressing! Self was asked on hawk talk about what he wanted for his team for Christmas and he said âhealthâ. Ugh!
-
Iâm sorry, hate relaying bad news. Doesnât sound promising and we need Doke healthy. Wonder how he did it
-
@BeddieKU23 rim?
-
Seems like the most likely culprit
-
Time for Bragg to show up
-
Lightfoot and Colby, Good Luck. Landon welcome the increased minutes. I hope every game you play is similar to last seasonâs UWV game.
-
My go to answer would be ZengerâŚ
-
Just like with Braggâs situation, we need to wait and see what the doctorâs say. We canât say with any certainty whether it is broken or not. The good thing is we donât need him necessarily for tomorrow - UNLV is pretty bad and got beat by 49 when they played Puke.
-
@JayHawkFanToo SZ for what?
-
Dokeâs injuryâŚyou know he had to be involved; he will probably have the X-Rays on EBayâŚ
-
@JayHawkFanToo oh.
-
By looking at the picture, looks like a soft wrist brace/immobilizer and not a hand brace; the hand does not appear to be swollen. If his hand was broken he would have had surgery and be wearing a hard hand cast instead. Based on my very limited personal experience, looks like a wrist sprain or maybe a hairline fracture they hope will heal without surgery but I could be way off. Any doctors in the house? Isnât @ralster one?
-
Dang. On one hand, he isnât playing huge minutes but on the other the team is thin in the post as is and this slows his development.
-
@JayHawkFanToo you stay at a holiday inn last night?
-
No, but I played doctor in my younger yearsâŚ
-
@JayHawkFanToo So you know all about swelling.
-
When I played doctor? Of course.
-
Looks like a bowling wrist support
-
Hearing its ligament damage? Whatever it is, he is out for remainder of the season.
-
Udoka Azubuike will miss the remainder of the 2016-17 season due to a left wrist injury, Bill Self said Wednesday. #kubball
-
@Eric-san what?
-
Crap.
-
@Ralph omgâŚ

-
shit.
-
Is this a haunted front court this season, or what?
-
Bad news indeed. Here is the linkâŚ
-
Do we know how?
-
Mitchell Lightfoot, get ready, dude.
Maybe wear some ankle weights to get yourself up to 220. :bowtie:
-
shit.
-
This is actually good news.
Self gets bored when things go right.
-
Even less depth in the post. 9 scholarship players. Ouch.
-
@BShark good thing we been working on 4 guard line up. Bragg has to step up
-
This could be the beginning of Tyler Self in the front court rotation.
Josh Jackson, time to start working on the hook shot.
-
God help me, I do love the smell of basketball napalm in the morning.

You are starting to sound really creepyâŚ
-
We are not on the f&(#@(_($ naughty list Santa! Wtf?
-
I wanted Lightfoot to have a breakout year but not like this. I feel bad for the big guy.
-
The frosh big curse continues.
-
shit.
-
Well bright side, doke didnât play many minutes last game. Need help here, ahhhh
-
This is LLâs chance to prove he can play like he did at the end of last year. If he can do thatâŚfor the most partâŚweâll be OK. Bragg in there when we go 2 bigsâŚColeby off the bench and Lightfoot when needed. Not ideal,âŚbut the other guys have to step up.
-
This really hurts. We will really need Bragg and Coleby to steup up now.
-
There is no bright side to this, unfortunately.
-
@Hawk8086 you are right. The other guys have no choice but to step up and play well. Not having Doke will be noticed against big teams like Baylor and Kentucky but that just means our guards will have to apply a lot of ball pressure just like Nova.
