coach saying Wendell is fighting a foot injury, didn't practice all week, and isn't sure he will play tomo...
Carter Injury
- Thread starter SoCal_Dukie3
- Start date
He was hurting and grimacing some during timeouts....or maybe Bonzie just smelled.
The Facebook photos that Duke posted clearly suggest otherwise, and that Carter did practice yesterday at least.
Sucks if he’s out...he’s a big part of our zone because of his length and ability to block and alter shots...
Part of the reason our zone works...we give up a lot in the middle of it but our length throws off shots...Bolden will give us good minutes but not like Carter can over the course of an entire game...
Bagley will be easier to focus on offensively also...he will get all the attention...
I can see us easily struggling without Carter..Hopefully not serious and he can play through this...
Just his presence would be enough....

Eh. Bagley went for 33 and 17 essentially without Carter on the floor. With Bolden playing the way he is, he will take enough attention off of Bagley. We will take a hit on defense though.
Carter looked like he was grimacing and holding his back last night after his 5th foul where he ran into Bonzie. But I didn’t notice any foot issues
You don’t see how carters play has significantly dropped? His boards are there still but his fouls and shots are way down. You can tell there’s something going on
Well if there is video of him practicing this week then I would say he practiced this week and what was said wasn't the truth...you can take someone's word or video proof...up to you
I hope it's nothing that keeps him out.
If he is out, I'm confident in Bolden to pick up the slack.

I hope Wendell is okay. We need him to anchor the D on the inside. Without him, the Heels offense will be much more efficient. Just because the Heels played poorly last night, and have had to play an extra game doesn't mean they'll be pushovers...they won't We'll have to play hard, and smart to win this one.

Be calm fellas. We will beat them by about 10 points. Marques will start and Javin will sub in. We will be just fine. The rebounding machine that is Jack White will fill in as well.
We’re a 2 seed win or lose, unless we beat UVA and Xavier loses tomorrow. I just want Wendell healthy for his final games as a Devil and heading into the Draft.
Worry not. For who, by worrying has ever added a single moment to their life?
He’ll probably play 20 minutes. Bolden and Javin will split the other minutes. I don’t think he needs to play more than 20 minutes tonight
And that’s ok. Just his presence in the middle means a lot.
Did you watch the post game interview? Nope.
Go to 1:40, watch and listen, proceed to looking for the next excuse I guess. I simply relayed what K said.

At next years ACC PARTY , I’m going to build a little ring, I want vabluedevil33 and SoCal to show up. We’ll throw them in the ring and make bets on the sissy slap fest. Damn would you two get off each other’s nuts, lol.
I'm all for talking fun ish here but I'll attend and you have to step in. Cool? I mean if you're gonna build a ring, we gotta go all out. We can give you Dattier to be your Jimmy Hart.
I've seen others mock you for being the board bully, you gotta back it up son! Lol

There was that one guy who said I'm worried that shark will eat me, so he stayed on the boat while his buddy got ate. Added a few moments to his life.
JK....I do understand the sentiment
