Trying to drink hopium here; it sucks it happened and he won't be participating in practice, but whatever it ends up being, I'm glad it happened now and not in October.

Don't think we see him in 2026 portion of this season
Come on!?
I love my family too, but Illinois BB is everything to my sons and myself. I'm in shock right now...Not Mirk!
I'm grasping at straws here looking for anything that will help convince me this is not very bad...all I can come up with is:
-maybe we get a year 3 Mirk now.
-I suppose I love my family and Illinois BB is not everything.

First time I’ve ever wanted to downvote one of your posts DB.

in all seriousness, this really sucks. highest rated preseason team in a long time, coming off a final four, and we lose our preseason AA best player for a significant part of the season due to an injury suffered in an offseason workout

this is about the most Illinois basketball thing I’ve ever felt. Finally this is our year!! And boom best player gone for most of the season. When we finally win a championship in 2055 it’s gonna be a great story of all the heartache we’ve endured over the years.
I know this board will be all doom and gloom but someone said rather it happen now than when the season started. Getting back into game shape will be key but he already has an on court chemistry with everyone but 2-3 people expected to be in the rotation by that time. The graphic released makes it seem like he's on his deathbed so I'll take 4-5 months I guess. This team is extremely talented to the point and we should still have a number next to our team name by the time he gets back. Will it be single digits? Who knows
This is how I’m looking at it

edit to add the obvious hope he’s okay and makes a full recovery
We knew someone was going to get hurt in practice; it's kind of our thing.
Hopefully, this is it, and he's back in 4-6 weeks max.
EDIT: Assuming it was not that minor, and could be much longer than 4-6 weeks. Let's hope it's nothing crazy.

This happens every friggin time they are suppose to do something good!
If true, and DB 11 has always been top notch insider info so obviously I will assume correct info till disproven.
1, Illini will be forced to develop a way to defend, and have inside presence of a trad "4" arguably Illinois weakest depth position of proven talent
2, Gain a valuable weapon and leader for stretch run of season.
3. 35 or so minutes a game to spread around for development in game situations. Morello, William's, Zen, Brown...opportunity knocks.
4. That thing about 5 in 5 and we are set, whelp...
Most importantly I hope for a FULL and Speedy recovery for David Mirkovic...a Great young Illini !!!
Unf@cking believable.
