I’m doing pt for hip pointer now, hurts in that area.
I agree. The way he was holding his outer hip, it didn’t look like where a labrum tear would cause pain. I went back and watched his mini-dunk and he seemed to have hurt or aggravated it on that. IMO. My initials are DR, but I’m not a doctor. Got hip slammed several times before that dunk trying to go around screens, so some prior contact also might have been the cause. He definitely felt it on that dunk though.
-
According to the tape from the coaches they said he hurt it on a screen. I’ll have to take a look at that dunk
-
After what happened with people questioning Doke’s toughness last year before we knew it was the same injury as his freshman year, I’m not going to speculate on Dotson’s toughness and severity of his hip injury right now because it may end up being much more severe than a standard hip pointer.
-
@BeddieKU23 it won’t be easy for sure
-
Labral tear is more wear and tear like a golf swing. But I’m going by my friends injury
-
Wait… who is saying he needs surgery?? That hasn’t been reported anywhere.
-
@Woodrow if it’s a labral tear, as far as we know, it’s not.

Can be both -
-
@HighEliteMajor eww, thinking about mine.
-
@Woodrow people are just jumping to conclusions without any basis.
-
Wonder if they’ve done an mri on his hip?
-
Hot rumor is he’s out until February but just a rumor until something more concrete comes out
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t know how they would know, hard to tell w/hip pointer.

Ouch, at least the rumor isn’t shutting it down to protect draft prospects.
-
If he is out until Feb at least this is a soft part of the schedule. Texas, KSU, Tenn, Okie Lite.

Good point. Was looking at the slate coming up and if they think resting him during this part of the schedule could save his season at least there are no games we wouldn’t be favored/expected to win (except our yearly dump in Stillwater of course)
-
This team is no good unless Dotson is healthy. If he needs rest to be healthy in March he’d better get plenty of rest. The games don’t matter much now.
-
I think Dotson being out for a few games could end up being a positive long-term. It’s going to force guys to step up that otherwise wouldn’t have. If Ochai, Moss and Garrett all gain some confidence with him out of the lineup, look out.
Sort of like the Chiefs having to find a way to win without Mahomes for a few games. The defense figured out some things about themselves during that stretch and when Pat got back we went on a tear.
Hopefully this is a similar effect. We have to find a way to generate offense from the other guard positions. And you can’t bank on Moss hitting 6 threes every night, but it was good to see. Garrett going for 15 and literally blowing by whoever he wanted to was impressive. But to really have a shot to win it all we still need to get Ochai going some way some how.
-
Maybe moss needs to start to get in his rhythm? Do it! Need pts!
-
Definitely bad news. Not trying to be a downer but Dotson has struggled all year, and the injury might well amplify those struggles (i.e. trying to do too much when he does come back) and hurt team chemistry. I hope I’m wrong.
-
I’d hate to see Dotson actually “struggling”.
-
Me when I see people hating on Dotson:
-
I think it is a positive to rest Devon right now and make the team go it alone.
These guys need pressure to step up. Who will it be?
This change forces everyone out of their comfort zones and we should become a tougher team because of it.
Devon should become better by sitting on the bench and watching a few games, taking mental notes on how he must adapt to make us a better team.
Our coaches need to be pushed to discover new sets, plays and how to score the ball and put more points on the board.
And I was getting worried everyone was starting to believe we are such a monster defensive team! We are not! I think we all get excited to finally see any of our guys play a little defense for a change!
Give us a game where our defense hustles as much as Nova or Baylor and we will flat out “pancake” our opponent! Note: “defense” also means sealing boards and diving for 50/50 balls.
-
Anybody know when och hurt his back, what play? I didn’t notice.
-
Our D will probably suffer now w/dot avoiding contact, och’s back and marcus’s ankles. I was
about dokes hand on that block before half.
-
They said first 3 minutes of the game. Not sure if mentioned on what play
