February 13, 201313 yr The game was bad enough and then Noel goes down. I hate it for Noel, let's just hope this doesnt effect his professional career. I can't see the team without Noel going anywhere, not to make light of a bad situation but maybe UK should update there schedule to the following: SEC Tourney: goto Nashville drink have fun April 13: Jordan Brand Classic
February 13, 201313 yr Message board scuttlebutt (meaning, take this for what it's worth) is a ruptured patellar tendon for Nerlens. The info is said to have come from the Florida training staff. Prayers and angels going up for Nerlens.

He may have to stay at UK but not play until 2015. Doesn't look good. I think when it all comes out he will be on at least a 6-8 month recovery. The way his knee went I have a feeling he tore everything in there.
February 13, 201313 yr > UK players carried Kentucky Wildcats forward Nerlens Noel (3) off the court after he injured a leg as the University of Kentucky played the University of Florida in the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Fl., Tuesday, February 12, 2013.

February 13, 201313 yr sportsfan41 and anyone else whose had major surgery done to one of their knees, it absolutely crushes you watching that injury happen. I got sick to my stomach seeing the injury. I hate seeing any player have a freak accident like that.
February 13, 201313 yr I will throw the question out there, how much different would this team be with Mark Lyons? He's averageing 15.4 ppg 3 apg and shoots 85% from the free throw line. Lastly, too my knowledge, hasn't caused any trouble for Arizona. Let's face it, because of Adidas UK had no shot at Shabazz, so I throw this question out there.
February 13, 201313 yr After your opponents' star player goes down with a very serious injury? (in front of everyone) Yeah, classless. Bluto you are way off on this.............................Nothing classless or bush and it had no direct ties to Noel.
February 13, 201313 yr Bluto you are way off on this.............................Nothing classless or bush and it had no direct ties to Noel. I was actually somewhat impressed with the class that the majority of the Florida fans showed when Nerlens was laying on the floor in agony and when he finally got up.
February 13, 201313 yr No announcement from UK yet but I have to think Nerlens is lost for the season. At the very, very least that appears to be a dislocated knee and one has to think there will be some tears in there. My prayers are certainly with him.

If it is a patellar tendon, as being rumored, I'd say you were about right.
February 13, 201313 yr Chad Ford has said it's doubtful the injury, even if it's a tear, would alter his draft status.
February 13, 201313 yr Seeing that picture made my stomach churn. Joe Theisman flashbacks, exactly the same feeling seeing both. :eyeonyou:
February 13, 201313 yr Maggard saying initial report from hospital last night was torn ACL and MCL...
February 13, 201313 yr Author Chad Ford has said it's doubtful the injury, even if it's a tear, would alter his draft status. That would be great news. That is my only concern.
February 13, 201313 yr Maggard saying initial report from hospital last night was torn ACL and MCL... Just horrible. Hate to hear any news like this.
