The House of Blue

Don't even care about the season.

I hope Noel is okay......I hope it's just painful injury with no long term effect.

Patric Young told a Florida paper:

"His leg was wobbly, knee looked dislocated. It was gruesome. I don't want to think about it."

John Calipari says Nerlens Noel going to local hospital to check injury checked out. They don't know much yet. 'I didn't see much. They said it looked ugly.'

Calipari: 'I'm physically sick right now (for Noel). We hope it's not the extreme and just a twist.'

Well said and I agree with every single word you said. I dont care about this game at all b/c Nerlens health is worth more than 1000 of these games. Get well soon Nerlens.

How could Young see his knee cap he had knee pads and a sleeve on it. If it was dislocates hopefully they can pop it back in and hopefully he can be back in a few weeks. Main thing now is getting him healthy just wished our whole team would follow Nerlens example by playing hard. If that was Archie he would have watched get well Nerlens and I can't wait for this season to be over.

Time to take the air out of the basketball and hope we can knock down lots of tuff 3s!! Hope Noel is okay, but he will prolly be out! Hit the boards insanely hard defensively, and play very conservative offensively. We can still win enough games to get in the tourney, then it's a new season. Good luck Nerlens!

Of course no one deserves an injury. But it's a figure of speech. From our vantage point as fans...its apparent Nerlens works as hard if not harder to master his craft. And because of that, you hate to see it happen to him. Kid was about achieve his dream...1st overall pick. CAN NOT IMAGINE the thoughts that are going through his head right now.

Prayers are with the big guy.

Was watching the game tonight and saw it when it happened. I hope Noel is okay and it is nothing serious.

Carolina fans know all about knee injuries especially with Lattimore.

Get Well Nerlens!

What in the world in what I said would make you think that I believe that other players deserved to be hurt? I think you have taken what I said completely out of context and I am a little offended by the accusation. If you have read my posts in the past and I know you have I have never and would never say or think something like that. I am praying for the guy. Please think a little more next time before you accuse someone of something that isnt true. Im sorry that Im taking this so hard but Im just not that kind of person.

Evidently, it appears to be an ACL injury. This is from an insider of UK basketball.

Time will tell. Thoughts and prayer to Nerlens!

Given the mechanism of injury, I would tend to lean this way. When the knee hyperextends particularly with force the ACL reaches maximal tension and can sprain. Ideally its intact and functioning.

My prayers to you Nerlens. Get well. You've got a long life and career ahead of you.
