Hopefully he doesn’t have what Joe Mixon has…
David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

Hopefully Brad backs off scheduling any more high major non cons
Can we just stop whatever it is we do to injure these kids? Andre had surgery and now David too? What is happening?! So much for a great season.

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.

Thank God we've got all those cupcakes in the noncon....
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.

9th man better be ready to be the 8th man. Now we need a new 9th man.
Don’t forget about Morez’s hand in 24-25 plus whatever severe flu hit the team. We were a shell of ourselves for that Duke game.
Izzo’s goon breaking Ayo’s face in 21. Concussed zombie Belo and ******* pinkeye for the tourney in 22. Feels like we’ve had more than our share of snakebites.
Sucks.
It's kind of hard to tell because we don't know the severity of the injury. Our first game is not until 3 months from now.
Don't like insiders haven't tried talking us off the ledge yet. I know it's summer but this is a full blown crisis.

Obviously this will vary by matchup, but this is my dart throw at the minutes for the first part of the year without Mirk.
Vaaks 31
Stojakovic 31
Coleman 28
Jake 26
Tomi 24
Zvonimir 22
Morillo 18
Lincoln 12
Zens 5
Everyone else 3
I think they play smaller and more guard/wing heavy, with Jake or Andrej spending time at the 4.
More of the offense probably runs through Vaaks and Tomi. Tomi can handle some of the screening, passing and handoff stuff they lose with Mirk.
The twins will play together at times, but I doubt it becomes the base lineup. If both are on the floor for long stretches, there’s little depth left to spell either of them at the 5.
I'd guess he broke his foot if he needed surgery. Prob 12 weeks (3 months) before he does anything. That's Nov 1. AI tells me 4-6 months to resume full running activities. 2027 sounds realistic.
