Morez Johnson out with broken wrist

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I'll be ridiculously impressed if there isn't a full meltdown at this point, lol.

I'll say this, I don't think he's done for the year. Sounds like he might be back either for the big ten tourney, but they are confident he's back for March Madness

I'll take this as Morez is gonna die trying to get back on the court, but with March Madness only 5 weeks away, even if this is a minor break, he'd need to have some superhuman healing to be able to play basketball with that hand. I like the optimism and we have a great staff, but a 4-5 week timeline for a broken wrist, even to someone young and in peak condition seems really really really optimistic. For now I just hope he recovers fully and healthily as fast as he can. If he can play, that's an unexpected bonus, but if not, just get healthy

Absolutely horrible. L or R or just keeping it confidential?

left hand. Like I said, not season ending

I'm going to focus on the fact that Winter is going to be over soon. Makes me feel better.

That's not what the rodent said.

Good news! It wasn't his arm.

Elite post.

 

[chibar]

wrap morez's hand with the widest cast possible and have him swat balls down with it

It’s not easy being an Illinois fan…

Welp that’ll put the nail if a very disappointing season. One can only hope he’s back. Ironic he breaks it on a play that no one else on this roster would make.

That was also the last point in the game we were leading, and on our final points total.

Slamming sarcophagus lid closed.

Feel for Rez. Great kid. No one wants to be on the floor in the middle of the action more than him. Here's hoping for a quick return.

Can't tell if I was more upset after the MSU game or this news

MSU was anger and frustration after the final 10 min.

This is just gut wrenching and sad. Hate to see it happen, especially to a player who gives up his entire body to try and better the team.

Get well soon Morez!

That is kind of sad it is even a debate on which one you should be more upset about...

 

[westcoastillini]

Oh my heart broke hearing the news.

Exactly. Health comes first
