    I guess Ryan Kelly is going to get more run than we anticipated...

    That was also my first thought. I guess that also applies to the rest of the bigs. This may also be an opportunity (especially the first 2 games) for Olek to get some time.

    Yeah, which will be good for him. Didn't Tyler Zeller break his wrist last year for UNC and was out for a couple months? If this is the case, it's going to be a long 2 months for us.

    Scheyer, Dawkins, Singler, Thomas, Plumlee1 for Friday?

    Later on:
    Scheyer, Smith, Singler, Thomas, Plumlee1

    Bench: Dawkins, Zoubek....Kelly?

    Does "indefinitely" mean season ending or just November ending? This indefinitely thing is too ambiguous for my liking.

    Brian Zoubek is going to have to step up to the plate and perform like the experienced senior he is. I'm confident Zoubs is up to the task, but I'm really disappointed for Mason.

    My guess is Z will start on Friday and Dawkins will come off the bench. Once Nolan gets back, then either Z or Lance will start, depending on matchups.

    If Kelly and/or Olek prove they can cut it defensively, they will see time. Hopefully Mason won't be out too long and this won't hurt his short term development too much.

    Zeller broke multiple bones in his wrist, if I remember correctly, and his injury required surgery. From the article, this doesn't sound nearly as severe.

    That's definitely bad news. It puts a LOT more pressure on Thomas, Miles Plumlee, Zoubek and Kelly. One of the strengths of the frontcourt was that Plumlee was likely to be an impact player, and then we just needed one of the other four bigs to be a consistent presence. Hopefully he heals quickly, but it appears to be a big setback.

    I'm no insider or othropod but was somewhat relieved to read:
    Injury does not require surgery
    Injury is to his left (non-shooting hand) wrist

    We'll see.

    Yeah I don't think this sounds as bad as Zeller's injury last year, and I think his recovery time will be shorter.

    ummm here is an article talking about how Mason is Duke's most skilled player this season:

    Unhappy Nooooooo!

    "The fracture will not require surgery to repair and he will be evaluated by the Duke medical staff on a weekly basis."

    Wait a minute it's his non-dominate hand, perhaps just a hairline fracture, no surgery and will be evaluated each week... makes me think he will be back sooner vice later. Here's hoping for a fast and full recovery!

    I certainly hope so. This team loses a lot of its luster if Mason Plumlee is out for a long time, because so much of the excitement was how he'd change the team's frontcourt while Smith and Singler offset the losses in the backcourt. Without him, we go back to a lot of the same question marks in the frontcourt.

    Hopefully it is a minor injury (at least it is to his non-shooting hand) and he's able to recover quickly. And hopefully this opportunity helps Kelly and Miles Plumlee establish themselves.

    Yes it is. And I am much more concerned about the long term effect. Mason needed these early games to help his development and get him ready for ACC play. Terrible set back.

    Ok all of you doctors and medical experts. Since surgery is not required, how long will it take for this injury to heal and when can we expect to see him on the court again? I also wonder which wrist it is? Really hoping its the left and not his shooting hand.

    Ok. I see now it was the left wrist, so that lessens the impact a bit. Still not good but could have been a lot worse. (See Zeller 08)

    I really hope this is no more than a 4 to 6 week deal and he can play in those last 2 tune up games in late Dec.
