Is UNLV permanently cursed or WTF!?
How long is he out? Is there a chance he misses the season or most of the season?
If so does he redshirt?

too early for any of those things to be answered. As someone said earlier if it’s a high ankle sprain that’s best case scenario. He’d be more than recovered by season. Any other injury is cause for concern
THIS is why I emphasized that we need a capable backup PG.
JJ was so capable that he backed up Webster.
Webster is a SG.
Maybe, and hear me out, Hill could fill that role. I know he's not a typical PG, and never played it in college, but he fits the Kruger narrative.
So either Hill or I really hope that Nowell develops.

Well, Lady Rebel basketball is sounding better and better.
I thought JJ and Nowell both improved by the end of the year. JJ looked good in ot against Reno when Harlkless fouled out and of course without Gilbert in there. Hopefully Nowell and JJ show more improvement their Junior years specially if Dedan is out. But Dedan needs to be back!
Hopefully not too serious..must be a big challenge for him basically a High school Junior going up against college seniors and 5th year grad kids. The physical demands will be enormous so hopefully he learns to pace himself.
Age wise, he should be a freshman.
UNLV Lady Rebel basketball, was always better than the men's.
The last 2 years. Why, stop now.
I don’t believe that he is available to attend summer practice sessions.
As a licensed rehab professional, I can tell you that foot injuries are contagious, and DJ must have been hanging out with Cottrell without the proper mask!
I'm guessing this is coming from a new injury. Just a couple of days ago UNLV tweeted about the excitement of DJ to UNLV. I'm guessing they wouldn't do that if they already knew that he had a significant injury.
It seemed like DJ was out of summer practices due to eligibility, then this injury happened, trying to read the tea leaves but I could be wrong.
Truth is, this could be a high ankle sprain, it could be a smallish stress fracture, it could also be a more standard lateral ankle sprain depending on the severity and how conservative they want to be with him. Which makes sense given that it seems like he could participate in team practices right now anyway.
It is likely NOT a more significant fracture or an Achilles tear if he is walking in that boot.
Most likely nothing that would prevent him from missing serious time this season. Just given the the very limited information so far.

Yeah he posted on IG at the quick care where they gave him boot and crutches. Has to just be small break or sprain.
I’m hearing minor plus precaution. I’m hoping so.
I see guys in boots in the middle of the week and flying thru the air and dunking like crazy by the weekend all the time. I wouldn't read too much into a boot. Could be a million different things. - immobilizing ankle sprains are the most common and not that serious - sometimes its just 24-48 in a boot.
wrap in him bubble wrap when he wakes in the morning and gently lay him down to sleep each night with 2 LVMPD standing guard at all times to ensure no harm comes to him.
A visit to quick care and no follow-up or referral to an orthopedic surgeon? Not serious IMO.
But why a visit to a quick care when he'd be able to call an ortho doc? Some of my Olympians, pro athletes, and headliners had my cell so they could call me directly. Hard to believe that he or CKK couldn't get him into see an ortho.
Maybe just a minor sprain and they are being extra cautious using a walking boot instead of an ankle brace. If it were more than a simple sprain I can't imagine a person who depends on his legs so much not seeing a specialist. Reevaluate after a few days and go from there.
That quick care doc has no idea how to handle any orthopedic injury other than knowing Ottawa ankle rules (maybe) and to look for an obvious fracture on an x ray.
Personally i do NOT like boots for regular sprains since early motion has proven to speed speed recovery.
Agree. Not that I'm a doctor with knowledge but from personal experience with tendinitis in my foot/ankle.. put a boot or brace on a couple of times for walking support. It helped occasionally just to keep from rolling, but it was better to just let it be than irritate it further.
What I was saying was a quick care visit meant no Achilles injury or compound open fractures etc. very likely break or sprain if quick care was the first visit. Sure they’ll refer to specialist from there.
Exactly. Also, most are decent at diagnosing. I would anticipate quick care performed x-rays and conducted an examine. If an orthopedic intervention is necessary they make the referral.
DJ hasn’t joined the team yet so he’s probably on the family insurance plan.
With all due respect to everyone, when you're a higher-level athlete and entertainer, you have access. Zaon Collins didn't get that high priced attorney because he was a misunderstood youth. Maybe my situation in outpatient was the only of its kind but I seriously doubt it.
Coaches want to be seen as being able to pull strings for their players and staff. Doctors have egos and want to be the go-to for these high-profile names. PT's want to be the reliable PT for these doctors. It goes down the chain (with PT's being the bottom wrung).

Do the math.
Issaih Cottrell could sell beef in a Vegan restaurant. "Ever walked in a boot before? Oooohhhhhh myyyyyyy gooooodddddd, it feels sssoooooooo gooooodddddddd....."

Versus a connected orthopod who "takes care of it."
I just hope that this is extremely minor and that the voices in my head are making a big deal out of nothing.
