Someone please tell me Rob turned his ankle

I was thinking it was a knee issue. Looked at the replay and didn't really see anything. Hopefully not an Achilles
Hey! I asked someone to tell me he turned his ankle! Damn it!
I'll be surprised if its not an achilles. He wears taller socks, and the angle wasn't good. If it was achilles you'd see his whole lower leg shake. I didn't see that, but again, the angle wasn't good.

That'd likely be a much better diagnosis. Likely done for IU this year if so, but hope its something like that for his sake.
Damn that looked like Achilles. Hopefully something minor but he has not returned to the bench.
Can't imagine Coach wouldn't know if Rob had torn his achilles. Its literally a 1 minute test. Maybe he really hasn't checked on him? Or maybe he's just a really good actor?
He’s not going to say anything right now regardless. If it is serious, you will see him in a boot or cast.
Usually not necessary to diagnose Achilles rupture. Don't know the answer to your question though.
You're probably right. If it ends up that he ruptured his achilles, I'd day Coach didn't know that in the presser...just the way he answered the questions.
His expression really changed when he got the question. I think he knows but they didn't want to say during the presser for some reason.
I wasn't paying close attention, mainly listening. If you're right, then yeah, I could see it. And it sucks balls.
I think he knew, but he didn’t want to distract from the quality win. Let the news come out tomorrow.
Pat Graham's injury was complicated by the fact he was Type 1 diabetic.
Have hope Rob suffered a pulled/strained calf muscle at the most. Those injuries are short term debilitating like Rob was displaying. That's a hope.
good point, I forgot about that. Broken foot bones+ basketball player + Type 1 diabetic= bad combination. Only surefire way to heal- stop playing basketball.
Pats injury was overshadowed by what happened with Alan, but I recall Knight mentioning how much it hurt the team.
Yep it did hurt them alot. Losing Rob would stink but it is not nearly as damaging as if we lost TJD or Race for the year. X will just have to play his usual 32 -25 minuts a game and Bates will need to step up.
puts a lot of pressure on XJ to stay out of foul trouble, which he has been doing a better job of recently (while still playing sticky defense). Just needs to avoid the stupid 'bump' fouls out on the perimeter that don't accomplish anything except landing him on the bench. We need 30+ min from him until further notice.
Xray maybe but I doubt an MRI. MRIs are often literally run 24/7 and to have one at the stadium that sits empty I think would be unlikely.
It certainly would not be ideal but much mor manageable than losing TJD.

I'm actually more optimistic the longer this goes with no official word. Pretty sure they said the next morning Galloway would need surgery.
Mike Woodson on Rob Phinisee's diagnosis:
“I don’t know right now. He’s got to be evaluated probably sometime tomorrow. Somehow we have to get Khristian ready. He’s not ready either, that’s why he didn’t play tonight. We have to get one of them back. I don’t know when.” #iubb

Does not sound great for now I guess we have to assume he is going to be out for awhile at least.
Rob himself said on his twitter this morning at 11am on the link I provided that he will be back so that sounds like good news
I saw his tweet but didn't know if that was definite or wishful thinking on his part. Whichever, I wish him a speedy recovery.
