MJAlltheWay24 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I figured this would be better and maybe we could keep the game thread for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 They just reported on KSR that Andy Katz had said that the x-ray came back with no breaks or fractures. Still need to wait on the MRI, but that is what I expected anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw last night, breaks and fractures aren't the problem they need to worry about. To me it looked more like ligaments getting blown out.

They haven't released the results of the MRI yet at least, no idea if he's had it or not. I agree with you. When I saw the injury, ligaments were my first and main concern. I didn't really even think about their beign breaks or fractures. But I guess those are pretty serious if they are in the knee, I don't know.

Wireman Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Kentucky just released the following statement: Last night’s x-rays on Nerlens Noel were negative. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI this morning. Further updates will be released when they’re available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpapa Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 ^ I think, in terms of x-rays, no broken bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolamite Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm not up to snuff on my medical terminology. What's "negative" mean? Means that the x-rays showed no damage. An x-ray coming back positive would mean that some kind of break or fracture had been found. Look at it like this, did he have any damage (according to the x-ray) ? Negative (meaning no). If he did have a break or fracture the question would be.... was there damage (according to the x-ray) ? Positive (meaning yes). That probably sounds totally foolish because I'm far from a medical aficionado, but thats just how I always rationalized it in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was scheduled to undergo an MRI this morning. Further updates will be released when they’re available. I saw the injury when it happened and have been following this a little bit through the day. My understanding with a knee injury of this nature is that the kinds of things that could show up on an MRI were of much more concern heading in than the kinds of things that x-rays would reveal. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along those lines, I was very pleased by the Florida crowd's reaction to Noel's injury last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
