I’m so confused about this Kerr injury.

[Basscat1987]

After he went down the trainer came over and straightened his right leg out while bending his foot backwards also. Indicating trying to relieve a cramp. My question is why was the trainer grabbing his foot with what looked to be little to no concern for the foot if the foot had a fracture in it? I was just watching the replay of the 2nd half and thought this was odd. Seemed like that would be painful as hell and Kerr would be telling him to turn loose of his damn foot if it had a fracture

It looked in real time like Kerr rolled his ankle. My first guess is that the awkardly rolled plant caused the fracture. Whatever the case, Kerr had the strength or adrenaline to hop, skip, and jump his way down court. My second guess is that neither Kerr nor the training staff knew exactly what the nature of his injury was at that time. There're a lot of tiny bones in the foot. I've known a few people who've broken bones in their feet and walked on them longer than you would expect before they got a good diagnosis.

I had that fracture, once you get the pain you really do not get tons more pain. Also depends on where he was grabbing the foot. My injury was in volleyball game in middle school. Remember the polls on wheels that were rolled out and the net connected to it. Well i cam down on one of the wheels. Back then no surgery. Just stay off of it on crutches and boot. It healed but took a long time. Surgery really helps this injury heal so much faster. I missed an entire football season back then, 70s.

My Jones Fracture occurred when I rolled my ankle while running. Extremely painful, but I actually kept trying to run on it thinking it was just a simple ankle sprain. I made it about 3-4 minutes before giving up and taking the sock off to see the huge knot on top of my foot.

I rolled my ankle one time and broke it and it was prolly one of the more painful things I’ve experienced. Took a lot longer than 6 weeks though. I assume the “surgery” is intended to speed that process up. Have to immobilize it for 6 weeks and then it takes another 4 weeks to get your motion back if it heals well. Shame. Gonna miss his energy.

I was afraid it was an injury that was a little more involved when they took him back to the locker room. Stinks for him and us.

Jeff Goodman added some more context, reporting that Kriisa suffered a Jones fracture in his foot. The recovery has an estimated timetable of 3-6 weeks. If that holds true, he could potentially return for week three of SEC play in mid-January. This was on KSR.

Goodman is no Dr. so I think it is best and wait to see what the Dr. finds when doing the surgery.

Google AI overview...

Yes, surgery can help a Jones fracture heal faster than non-surgical treatments:

• Healing time: Surgery can reduce the healing time from months to about six weeks.
  
  
• Risk of nonunion: Surgery reduces the risk of the bone not knitting together.
  
  
• Return to activity: Surgery can allow for more aggressive weight-bearing activities to help the foot return to normal function.
  
  
• Athlete recovery: Surgery can help athletes get back to pre-injury performance.

So we'll see. Hopefully he can make it back.

That was my experience also, 6 weeks in a no weight bearing cast and 4 weeks in a boot.
The surgery and the training staff will speed his recovery but I'd say mid February is realistic for some game action with hopes of being 100% for postseason.

Kerr had to "hope, skip and jump" his way back to defend because he had thrown the ball right to a Gonzaga player when he tweaked his foot. Probably understandable, but I admire football players who can hold onto the ball and not create a turnover despite an injury hit.

My son completely tore his ACL, tore his meniscus in 4 places and strained his MCL and still tried to play on it. He walked off the field without help and then went back in later but his knee kept giving out. He had surgery and is in rehab now. Some people's pain tolerance is different.

You really don't feel the pain of the break with a Jones until the next day.
It usually occurs with a rolling of the foot /ankle and initially you more concerned with your ankle.
