Brown and Flagg both injured in first half of game
- Thread starter Fitch44

If I turned my ankle like that, I’m out of commission for weeks. Looked rough.
Yeah, that zone worked. But GT was doing a nice job putting the ball where it needed to go, just can’t finish a shot at the rim.
Looked like a high ankle sprain
Toe hit floor first

Duke has 0 to gain playing n this tournament.
That's why with all our injuries I just pray we make it out healthy this week whether we lose tonight or win on Sunday.

Definitely not a broken ankle (I guess it’s possible he broke a bone in the foot), looks more like a high ankle sprain. He’ll get a week to rest but it may limit him.
I never want to see any player get hurt. But, I wouldn't mind seeing Duke take the loss.
Flagg in a wheelchair. Not good. I don't hate it for Duke but I do for Flagg.
Welp better rest up for the NBA young blood.
And our coach beat that coach. Why are you such a miserable person?
Good thing he is coming back to dUKe next yr 
Sprains can be worse than breaks. I had an ankle sprain and tore two ligaments. Had to have two surgeries and spent a year on crutches. I wasn't close to being a D-1 athlete but was in the military at the time and in my physical peak.
Is he really? I know thats part for precaution.
Also, if Duke were to lose this game.. they drop to a middle 1-seed? Does the committee not care? What if they win but Flagg is out? Man this is big.
Yeah apparently on his way for X-Rays. I bet Duke holds that information close, because if he is out, that drops them a seed line for sure.
They'll ban conference tournaments next year if Flagg is out.
Not sure how the committee will respond. They moved Cincinnati off the 1 line when Kenyon Martin got injured .
It's funny I was just thinking about Duke's situation even before today. I've made my feelings known on conference tournaments. Not a fan of them. So I wondered for a team like Duke that relies so heavily on Flagg.. to try and make him play 3-4 games in 3-4 nights for virtually nothing but an ACCT trophy.. it made me wonder how much Duke really wanted to be in this.. and if they wouldn't mind losing early just to be done with it.
Now.. let's say Malauch and Flagg are out for a few weeks.. Duke's ceiling is what, maybe an Elite8? And that's being generous.
This might honestly have some ramifications. And certainly because it happened to the biggest player this year, on the biggest team in college basketball..
So, for those who can't watch, Flagg is in a wheelchair and Brown is out with a re-injured shoulder? Is that the situation?
Next time you seen Flagg play will be in the NBA.
Is he the greatest 18 year old to ride in a wheelchair ever?
