Scruggs MCL Tear

Postby XU80 » Sun Mar 12, 2017 9:24 pm

A friend passed along very disturbing news that Paul Scruggs tore his MCL. It is in SLAM (not heard of this rag). The article quotes Scruggs as working hard to get back on the court by next February. Sorry to be a downer on a day when we got into the dance. Does anyone else have information on this injury report?

I did some checking into this story and it is old news, happy to say. He played this past weekend in California. He did have the injury but has recovered and is playing now.

I read an article about his injury but could not get more information about it.
glad he is back playing.

People on another post were concerned about him being a "1 and done" guy....

In another article I read he said something to this effect:
"I am focusing on being ready for D1 college basketball and being eligible."

I'd be more scared about him being eligible than a 1-and done. These guys hope around from team to team in HS...and sometimes from HS to HS...and sometimes the classes they take don't add up to making them eligible....no idea where he stands...

but that would be my concern!

Yes Didn't we have that issue with someone else? Semaj or Jalen?

Next February? It must have been last month that they referred to.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
