Most athletes with nasty sprains like it appeared he suffered would be out 6-8 weeks. However, as long as he didn't completely tear any ligaments or tendons, he may recover a bit quicker considering the state-of-the-art sports medicine / recovery facilities and personnel at the team's disposal. Of course, even after he is cleared to play, it is going to take a little while to get back up to game shape again.I heard shortly after his injury that he'd be out around six weeks. It's been three weeks, and I haven't heard any update.

Excellent observation blackdog. He appears to have no idea how to move and shoot on balance in the paint. But that is likely far from true as I am reasonably certain they work on paint moves quite often. Almost unexplainable as if he was a 50+% scorer in the paint, it would really prove an asset.
The worst part of this week off before the Colgate game is that it's giving people more time to make awful toothpaste jokes

Of course they’re awful toothpaste jokes. Do you know any good toothpaste jokes?The worst part of this week off before the Colgate game is that it's giving people more time to make awful toothpaste jokes
Not necessarily a toothpaste joke, but toothbrush...
Did you know the toothbrush was invented in Indiana?
No, really?
Yes, otherwise it would have been called a teethbrush!
This also works for Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc.
Exactly! Nobody wins with a toothpaste joke
This game …

Hello , Mr. Governor............................
Noon game on a Sunday after finals week against a tourney quality team. Classic trap game. As much fun as it is to watch NW and, to a lesser extent, Creighton, lose, this game now scares the crap out of me. Please come ready to play!
I get the fear...for a young team. Not this old bunch. They've been around the block too much to fall for that.
Was Chicago State and NW a trap game for NW. Colgate will hit some 3’s, and look good. But we have to run them out of the gym. TSJ will take over the game.

trap city, hope we don't come out flat
Hopefully the fact that we will have had over a week to prepare for Colgate and then another five full days before MizNoz will help avoid the this being a trap game.
If we played Bragging Rights on Wednesday or Thursday instead of Saturday, I could see the temptation to look ahead and start preparing for the rivalry game early. But they will still have plenty of time to get ready for the Tigers so I would hope there is no reason to overlook Colgate.
That doesn't mean there is no chance of coming out flat after a long layoff, but at least there is no excuse to be looking ahead at the next opponent.
