Thiero out again
- Thread starter Cold Stout Beer
- Start date
Hoping he heals up and comes back better than ever.
You could see something was wrong with him in the second half of UL game. Glad Big Z is back so Adou can rest and heal.
Day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day to day
I guess you've never had back problems. You're lucky.
Might as well just look forward to him being a key member of next year's team and assume we won't see him again. At this point, UK's on-court chemistry is at risk at some point, now with Z back and who knows when on Thiero .... oof.
It’s a real shame. We needed him this year, bad. We’re missing what he gives us. It really sucks.
Damn man, makes me think he has a broken vertebrae or something after that hard ass fall. No way soreness is all it is.
I think he is difference in getting number 9.
I think it’s a worse injury than UK has let on
Back injuries / problems are no joke. I hope he makes it back.
What kind of player you think Big Z is going to be? Seen a few highlights but hoping he will be better than expected
Dave Baker said on the pre-game show that he was cleared to practice on Thursday. So hopefully he returns next weekend.
I know his dad on Twitter put about 6 praying hands on Wednesday which was the day Adou had a doctors appointment. I agree that the injury was worse than minor.
Pay attention to how he interacts with his teammates during big plays/ time outs. No one is jumping around with a serious back injury.
I’m not saying he wasn’t injured, but he does not have a serious back injury.
Yeah I was thinking ruptured disc. Didn't they say he was going for more tests? That means disc problems or God forbid vertabrae problems.
I sure hope not for him, I knew that fall he took was bad though. I wouldn’t be surprised if real damage happened.
Can shoot 3 well - Good rim protector - Decent handle for a big. I think he will be a great rotation piece.
It matters. When/if he comes back, Edwards should not play. At all.
Does it though? We all know Cal shortens his rotation and we’ve seen this for years. He’s not going to get any run this late in the season
Yeah, he needs to get Thiero in there and Edwards out. I’m serious. When Thiero comes back, there is no reason for Edwards to play. At all. Like I said.
I agree. But unfortunately Cal has started Edwards all year and there’s no way he’s going to insert Thiero there.
I suspect that when Adou comes back, he’ll get 10 minutes per game or less. He will have to be a lockdown defender and a rebounding machine to get more than that.
Has been spotted in full uniform going at it in practice. Probably called up for the war that will happen tonight. Perfect player that basks in the type of physicality we will see tonight.
Not sure a super physical game is the best first game back for a guy with back issues. We shall see.
Not necessarily. Often back issues have nothing to do with the spine, they often are muscle related, there are some very small one back there that can be very painful if strained and very slow to heal.
Agree. I wrote in another thread titled "Thiero" the other day that I had a bad back for years and found out on my own that it was all muscle related and avoided surgery. TIA
Thiero
The HC decides on when a player will play again, yes. You can try and twist this into a debate about the HC giving out medical diagnoses all you want lol.. that's not what you said. Do you understand how many players are cleared to practice, medically, but still don't play the games because the...

When will y’all learn that minutes matter more than starting!!!?
Once Bradshaw started playing (Penn), we had 2.5 games with Theiro and Edwards and Bradshaw fully available. Theiro played 1 more min than Edwards vs Penn, 3 more vs UNC, and while Edwards minutes vs UL aren’t split by half, Theiro played 13 in 1 half while Edwards played 24 in whole game. Even after Theiro injury, Edwards only played 18.3 mpg in last 6 games, just 14.0 in last 2.
Theiro is an important piece to this team, as our best rebounder (or 2nd to Onyenso), or best defender, our most physical player, and along with Wagner one of our two most aggressive to attack the rim and get to the FT line.
Edwards, I’m still not sure what he does well.
Degenerative disc is no joke, either. That's the back issue I've dealt w/ for years...
Wow he's awful young to have to be dealing with something like that.
