Wellington up 37-20 at the half. Trent Frazier has made a multitude of plays. Drives to the rack, splashing the outside jumper & a runner

Seeing reports of Da'Monte going down with a knee injury tonight. Fingers crossed.

 

[Applegate20]

Williams

Just carried off court in Bloomington with what appears to be serious knee issue. Could hear a pin drop in gym

Crap. I hope he's ok

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

23 points for #Illini PG signee Trent Frazier in a win. Can be a bucket-getter right away in Champaign. Let him develop & watch out.

@DPiperScout

Illinois recruit Da'Monte Williams helped off after fall for Manual just 1:12 into game with Bloomington.

@Pg_Reinhardt

Jeremiah Tilmon looks part with great footwork along baseline for 2 and terrific hands w/ catch in open court for transition basket

“@DanMolloyTV: End 1st: Bloomington 19, Manual 14.

Chris Payton 8 pts for BHS

Da'Monte Williams struggling to walk w/ ice on knee after injury.”

 

[ChicagoChief]

Well at least he's walking I guess?

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

Frustrating, foul-plagued night for Jeremiah Tilmon ends with 12 points and 5 fouls. Played 8 plus minutes entire second half.

I hope Damonte is OK, he has worked hard off-season.

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

Here's the play where he was hurt.

looks bad

 

[aluma]

Looks like a bad knee injury. Not good

 

[Lord Snow]

Looks an ACL tear.

 

[illiniknight]

Looks an ACL tear.

Unfortunately that was my impression as well. I hope we are wrong.

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

Few Adam Miller highlights

 

[uofi09]

The knee injury that Damonte suffered probably means, he will redshirt during his freshman year, right? (IF in fact it is an ACL tear.)

 

[7yearillini]

Our fanbase has a firm grasp on the title of most eager to redshirt

 

[combes]

He came back and sat on the bench with an icebag on his knee.

Is it possible to walk after an ACL
Tear or is this a "good sign"?

It is possible. It is even possible to run if enough time has passed. Had a friend who tore his and could run in straight line about a month later. He didn't even have his surgery until he was about 6 weeks post injury. He also tore mcl/pcl and meniscus.

Also, for people who don't participate in athletics, sometimes they don't even get it fixed when it happens.

My cousin hurt her knee playing bball, but was able to walk fine that evening. The next morning when she got out of bed she couldn't walk. Torn ACL. Tore the other knee a couple of years later.

 

[Deleted member 8632]

I've torn both. With both tears I was able to walk of the field/court in a matter of minutes but new something wasn't right.

 

[Illinoy]

lets just hope its a sprained mcl at worst.

You technically don't need the ACL to run or walk. I have a friend who I played flag football with who tore his ACL in college playing football. He didn't know until years later. The trainers told him that he just had a bad sprain. The muscles in his leg were strong enough that he never knew, until he reinjured his knee and got an MRI.

Tore my ACL then my MCL then hyperextended my knee all on different occasions and the only time I couldn't walk after was with the hyperextended knee so let's hope it's that..
