Any news today? Or can we expect to not hear anything until Kelly’s next press conference or the game Sunday?

Pray that she heals quickly and be stronger for next season. Tough day yesterday overall for them ladies. Tough loss as well on both aspects. Wishing the best for ladies going forward, but it will be very tough without Jordan

When the Alabama team doctor, not just their trainers, came out immediately, plus they brought a stretcher out just in case, plus their team doctor walked with Jordan off the court and to the dressing room, that told us all we really need to know. Plus the effing blow up cast. Not just a random injury. I was afraid it was a compound fracture from everyone's immediate reaction.

Hard to think beyond the impact emotionally on Jordan and the team. Get well soon everyone. What a long, strange trip this season has been.

A compound fracture involves the broken bone penetrating the skin creating an open wound. If that were the injury it would probably be apparent to anyone in the arena. Hope for a dislocated elbow at worse. Painful but a much shorter recovery than a fracture.

Hell, I'd be in tears too. For those of you not keeping up with the Lady Vols this year, Jordan Horston has been an absolute star. Leads the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists or steals (maybe both), and an absolute beast on the court. If you were to compare her impact to the men's team, think of losing Vescovi, Ziegler, and Chandler all at once. Naismith Award finalist and definitely a 1st Team All-SEC player. Top 10 player in the country IMHO.

This injury gives someone on the roster a chance to step up and become the Lady Volunteers version of Jonas Aidoo.

Burrell needs to step her game up a notch.

Good luck to Horston in her rehabilitation efforts.

I'm aware of compound fracture. I knew something was visibly injured the way everyone reacted, which is why I thought compound. Probably the dislocation they were reacting to.

After reading these comments, I was wondering about a possible dislocation. Would they put a splint on that type of injury, and do you know possible recovery time for a dislocation?

I googled dislocated elbow. Not that anyone knows what sort of injury she sustained. This is what I found -

How do you treat a dislocated elbow?




Simple elbow dislocations are treated by keeping the elbow immobile in a splint or sling for 1 to 3 weeks, followed by early motion exercises. If the elbow is kept immobile for a long time, the ability to move the elbow fully (range of motion) may be affected.

Full disclosure - I have never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

They might to stabilize the joint area. A dislocation can range in severity depending on how much ligament damage is involved. Honestly, it would be probably better for JH's injury to be a clean fracture (six weeks and the bone is healed) than a more complex dislocation.

Thank you for looking that up. I did, too, after you.

Do not understand your Full disclosure statement.
