Glad it was a FX and not a ligament. Still the news makes me sick. If he misses a lot of time I hope they get him a medical redshirt.

This hurts big time!

Who will step up?

Jay Brown will probably be the one who steps into Nabor's role but this hurts our inside depth big time.  Nwevo and Custer better have improved IMMENSELY from last season.

Well let's see.. it's late August, basketball season starts in November and hopefully our season will end in March... thats about 5 months. How long would the average broken leg take to heal rim? I know you're pretty good with the medical stuff so do you have an idea maybe?

A quick google search came up with this article:

The usual healing time for a mid-shaft Tibia and Fibula fracture treated with cast immobilisation is 12 to 16 weeks. This is followed by rehabilitation with a Chartered Physiotherapist to restore the range of ankle and knee movement, and to restore the muscle strength that is lost during the immobilisation period.

mffl, this information is correct regarding a Tibia and Fibula FX. I would think 4 months is a lot better than 12, the usual time for an ACL injury to heal.

The best news would be only one bone in the lower leg was FX and it would be the Fibula.
