Any news on the thumb?

[DukefanKY]

I'm sure this is a topic that everyone is going to be interested in for awhile, so we may as well have a thread on it. Any initial news? As far away as practice is, I am not real comcerned right now, but just hope it doesn't become one of those things a lot of players have, where it keeps coming back.

hope this is true!

If he doesn't need any type of recovery, his thumb must be made out of steel. That looked nasty the way his thumb bent.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

That was definitely an ouch moment. The injury bug is hitting our guys already. Is there a pesticide for this?

 

[Swervin_Irvin_Duke]

I thought he broke it or at the very least dislocated it.

 

[Quavarius]

Yeah per his mom, he's ok

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Good to hear. Hope this isn’t a bad sign of things to come like we saw a couple of seasons ago

 

[Duke1783]

Most of our players wait till the season starts before they get hurt. Hope this is his only injury

Supposedly they had to cut it off this morning. He's expected to grow a new one by the time he gets on campus in late June. Nothing to see here.

Toes and thumbs have worried Duke fans more than any other injuries. Freaking toes and thumbs.

Uncanny how many top Duke recruits get injured! But, glad to here he is okay. Hopefully all the guys go through the season healthy and strong.

Eh, Dislocated Finger/ Thumb...not too big a deal as long as ligaments do not tear.. Pop it back in and use your other hand to tickle your pickle for a few days..no biggie

It's like Chia Pet, water it frequently and it's back in 4-6 weeks.

 

[Showenuff]

Can't wait to see the next time he takes Little to the rim.

[LONMUNU]

Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes!

 

[DukeDenver]

Shouldn’t affect his shooting touch since 80% of his FGAs will be dunks.

According to my unx “friends”, little and white are future top 50 nba all time. We are in trouble guys. Nassir Little is going to dominate us next year.

From the video, it looked like an IP (not MP) dislocation with a probable ulnar collateral ligament tear of the IP joint and possible joint capsule tear. This might heal with conservative management (splinting and rest) but will probably be weak in the future and prone to dislocation and arthritic damage. Hope he is left handed.
