Wieskamp shot about that 3pt% his senior year. It’s fucking hard when you are getting junk D’s thrown at you.

Dix has a much more all around game than he did just a couple years ago. Initially, I thought he was just a shooter but he has a bit of Weiskamp to his game. I could see him getting significant minutes as a freshman.

That’s better than a ligament tear I guess.

Usually it’s good when the Dix bone sticks out but not in this case.

That sucks. Wonder if it was a freak play or some previously undiscovered issue that he had.

I tripped down the stairs once and broke my leg -- probably should've got a CT to make sure it wasn't bone cancer.

I knew a guy whose leg broke without any real injury. Turns out he had cancer.

a minute left in a blowout seems like a weird time to have your two lower leg bones snapped.
I would welcome further information on the correlation between the time left on the clock and the frequency of broken limb injuries in sporting events.

I broke my leg playing football, and to the best of my recollection the treating physician failed to perform a biopsy.

I wonder if it is too late for me to sue him for malpractice.

Where L Wade is going here is that healthy teenage athletes are unlikely candidates for serious fractures not linked to trauma. Falling down the stairs, getting hit from a bad angle in football, ok, those are all obvious trauma.

We don't have the footage, so we don't know how he fell. If, say, he was above the rim and came down at a weird angle, ok, that could potentially be a sufficient trauma to fracture healthy bone.

If he just took a jump shot and then his tibia and fibula snapped, ok, that could suggest an underlying issue with the bone.

We'll find out when we find out. Hope it doesn't fuck up the kid's leg long term and he can return to playing the sport he loves.

Typically with high school kids you're not worried about minute restrictions or injuries. This freaking out about him being in up 20 is a little silly. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen.

He probably had an underlying stress fracture going on. I hope he ends up being ok

Lol I deserved every comment in this thread

I was just saying that 2 min left in a blowout, the kids were not likely playing super physical basketball at the time

this is probably a more reasonable example than cancer lol

That’s often when the most frustrated, spastic play occurs.
That’s what I was thinking. You are getting drubbed and the other teams star player is still in the game
