Awesome.

In a related story, workmen were called on to repair damage to the floor where "Nails" Singler fell. Kyle was heard to mutter something about not building courts the way they used to...

Glad to hear he's okay...his football and hockey background comes in handy sometimes.

Got another report that said there is no break, just a sprain...

Something tells me that he'd have to be missing a hand to sit out a game.

... "Nails" Singler ...

I'm sorry, but there is NO WAY that Chuck Norris allows his son to be called "Nails"

You know, I literally laughed out loud when I read this, but sadly I do not even see THAT holding Kyle out!

Great news, cause I didn't want him "benched".

Do you think that Wake's Tony Woods works for the Chronicle?

Depending on Kyle feels, maybe it might be best for him to be dressed with the intention of him to not play unless necessary (i.e. - foul troubles). NC State could pull it off but I just think their are bigger fish to fry later in the season rather than worry about Kyle pushing it too much if he is hurting and could be susceptible to further injury.

I'll trust the medical staff and the coaching staff on this one.

I don't think they'll take any unnecessary risk and will make an appropriate decision about Kyle's status.

This just proves what I've been saying since Kyle came to Duke - Singler is Iron. I was watching the game with a friend who reacted with great concern when Kyle bounced off the floor. I kept saying, "Don't worry. He's fine. He's made out of iron. " I'm starting to think he really might be.

We are so lucky to have this guy wearing Duke on the front of his jersey.

That's funny! Wonder if the Chronicle writer will "take credit" for putting a fire under Singler.

I'm not so sure that would do it.

And if it were broken he would probably dress for the State game (under his street clothes), would then spend the first half gnawing the cast off, and would be ready to start the second half.

Tell me you can't picture him sitting on the sideline literally chewing a cast off of his arm.

I think you're confusing Kyle with Patrick Davidson...

[weezie]

Whew, this is some good news. Let Kyle rest up a bit. Give Ryan some touches and let him get banged around a little. I sure would like to see him get his game going.

[coldriver10]

When I saw him fall and his face hit the floor, my hand shot to my mouth and didn't leave for the next 2 minutes (literally). I still can't believe he got up so quickly after that.

He may not be shooting as well as we hoped he would, but no one can question his heart. Definitely glad he's on our team

[DukeUsul]

Singler Likely to Play vs. State

I've never seen the two of them in the same place.

Hi,

How independent is the medical staff at Duke? In other words, let's say Coach K wants a player to play and the medical staff says, "No." I am guessing they trump whatever a coach says? Am I correct? I am asking about any sport, not just basketball so perhaps this should have been a new thread.

GO DUKE! Stay well Kyle!
