***Official Niang Ankle Thread***

[cyrocksmypants]

It didn't look too bad on replay. As long as it's not a fracture in his foot, I'd think he'd be good to go Sunday.

Rumor has it this guy is coming to heal Georges

Unfortunately, I think this will take the "Niang alley-oop" out of the playbook for Sunday.

Could cut his vertical leap in half?

 

[GrindingAway]

I heard it will limit his vertical leap

They said it was his foot, not his ankle. He will be fine.

I'm much more concerned about a foot injury than an ankle. An ankle can be a little tender, but treatable. The wrong kind of foot issue can be season ending.

There's one of those in the playbook?

First off all they said they were z-raying his foot, not ankle.

The replay made it seem pretty evident that it was his ankle. My guess is he'll be okay given that he was able to hobble up and down the court several times. It will probably be painful though. I doubt Fred will share much info though. Got to keep Roy guessing.

Ice and elevation. He will be good to go for Sunday.

According to Twitter the trainer told Hoiberg something and Hoiberg reacted negatively. ****.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Damn.

Not worried about it. Why put weight on it right now when he doesn't need to? No need to aggravate the hell out of it.

Iowa State's trainer just told Hoiberg something and he reacted extremely negatively.

This. I've seen people walk around and seem alright and end up with a broken bone in the foot. Hope we hear some news soon.. Has me worried.

**** not good.
