Too many overreactions here. There’s still 3 months before the season.

If he’s ready to go game #1, then there’s nothing to be concerned about. Andrej went thru this last year and had a very good year. (The problem with him was he suffered ANOTHER injury during the season)

Optimism is back on the menu baby

I made a deeply analytical graph of what I imagine the realist Illini fan's optimism levels will be when we look back on this offseason:

Every year it's someone different and something different. TJ in 23-24, KJ in 24-25, Andrej and KB in 25-26, now Mirk (Not to mention TY)

Tomi’s basically never been healthy (until this year perhaps).

my optimism never left the menu.......this is part of the path this team has to walk to get back to the FF.....I have complete faith in the coaching staff and players that we will be okay and better after Mirko-Man gets a clean bill of health.............

we are a top 5-10 team with numerous options to use to make this a special season.......keep a glass half full approach and it will all work out for the best........LET'S GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..............

Let’s say it’s 10 weeks (worst case scenario).

That’s still a 2-3 weeks of practice time to get ready for the season.

But does it? Illinois seems to have avoid injuries more than other teams. Aside from Brian Randle and Boswell last year, there have not been that many. Maybe some nagging injuries. And those were role players not a star like Mirk. Everyone loses a Ty Rodgers level player each year.

I heard 3 months and back during conference play...but who knows at this point. Gotta love our preseason luck...

Just awful. If it’s conference play, gotta assume there’s a chance he doesn’t come back and just begins preparing for the draft at that point.

Highly doubt he’s a first round pick not playing a minute of basketball this year.

Appreciate your input sharpshot…3 months would be November return then no? Are you factoring in a 2-4 week ramp up period? I just want him back in time for UConn. We can’t lose to them again!!!

Wow...I was looking forward to observing the soph leap by Mirk and what he could do with his new and improved body.

But I was also expecting to get this type of news...not knowing about whom it would be....after the start of early season practice. And yet, for our favorite returner to suffer that demise...and to learn that it is not season ending...is both bad and good news. If any guy can come back and not miss a beat it would be MIrk.

But, I am also fully expecting a similar injury to a key player in the future this season. There I said it. Now the basketball gods have heard it. And since they have all been in a conspiracy against me personally for decades...and therefore conspire against my favorite team, the Fighting Illini....they will try to prove me, and my expectations, wrong.

See what I did there? Taking one for the team!!!

You think this guy might sit the season?

(rhetorical question but I don't think he would based on historical character references haha)
