Monte's shoulder
- Thread starter ISUFan22
- Start date
I'd still tank in the tourney or at the very least sit Monte to heal.. Other guys could use rest Im sure.
...and then every time I think this, I remember UCONN playing every day of the Big East Tourney and winning a National Title with 1 player.

Tommy Birch Verified account @TommyBirch 53m53 minutes ago Prohm says that Monte Morris will sit out of practice today and tomorrow. Just to rest. Precautionary. #Cyclones
Travis Hines @TravisHines21 51m51 minutes ago Monte Morris will sit out practice the next two days to rest his shoulder, Steve Prohm says

Hope for Monte's sake that there's no damage that a little rest won't heal. We definitely need him to be able to play through it, but I also don't want it to screw up his opportunity to go pro this year if that's what he wants to do.

Travis Hines @TravisHines21 56m56 minutes ago Morris sitting out a couple of days of practice is exactly in line with what Iowa State said about the injury Saturday.
Sounds like things are progressing about as they've expected, which I take as a good sign.
Edit: Assuming Monte is also correct in that they are only doing survey radiographs, I am pleased to hear that they aren't yet feeling that more advanced imaging is necessary (MRI, arthrography, etc).

What he said is accurate. Rotator cuff strains involve tears of the muscle fiber and sprains involve tearing or stretching of the ligaments. Both can be problematic and both can be very minor and heal on theit own. Generally rest is the best medicine for a strain. Minor strains can feel better sometimes after a few days of rest major ones he may not be able to lift his arm. Let's hope it is a minor strain. So he is in full swing for the tourney. I do agree, if it is on the fence they may decide to give him the extra rest so he is in full swing for the ncaa tourney. I would rather have him in good shape for the 4/5 ncaa game than play 70% up until that point and then because of inflammation he can't play in the second round.

This has been covered previously, but here is a definition by the Mayo Clinic:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sprains-and-strains/basics/definition/con-20020958
"A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints."
"A strain is a stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon."
I don't claim to be a human medical doctor, nor would I assume to be the authoritative source on musculoskeletal injuries, but I do disagree with his definition, as well as your statement. However, we may be arguing semantics in the sense of what you mean by "a tear" (microscopic versus macroscopic).

God I hope this heals before the NCAA tournament. I hope they beat OU and then lose the next game for an extra day of rest for Monte. They need him close to 100% as possible.
