Wendell Moore Broken Hand Vigil

[arnie]

Just saw a headline from N&O that Wendell Moore out with hand injury. I don't subscribe so don't have details.

Awful timing, as Wendell had really started to come on strong. Get healthy soon . . .

Per the News and Observer:

No. 2 Duke will be without a key member of its backcourt rotation for an extended period of time.

Wendell Moore Jr., suffered a broken bone in his right hand late in Saturday night’s 95-62 win at Miami and is scheduled to have surgery on Monday, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Why doesn't the GoDuke site have this? Would think with K releasing the info, they'd be all over it.

Ugh... at least this is a Duke team with a ton ton ton of depth so we should be able to absorb this loss without too much harm but Wendell was a great defender and one of the better half-court one-on-one creators on the team. I certainly hope he will be back soon!

is there a doctor in the house?

Must be the shoes...

I remember the play, seeing Wendell grab his hand, but seemingly shake it off. I assumed it was just a jammed finger.

Time for AOC to step up. He's got a chance to earn more minutes.

Yep.

4:11 left in the game. He went for a putback on a Javin miss. You can see him in the background clenching his hand while the free throw camera is zoomed in.

Bummer.

Yes exactly. He went to the bench and Jose worked on him for awhile. I mentioned it in the in-game thread because I was concerned - been around too long not to worry about these things.

I’d prefer if everyone shared their own personal stories involving similar injuries, since those are particularly relevant.

Seriously though, it sounds like it’s way too early to get a timeline on his return. Hopefully we’ll get some updates after the surgery happens. Alex has a great opportunity to step up.

Bet mine was the worst without losing an actual piece of the hand. Got pictures too...


For real though, this sucks for everyone. Just hope he recovers well and can get back to doing what he loves on time.

I broke my 5th metacarpal playing softball. Not dislocated, not displaced. I opted out of surgery, 3 weeks in a cast. It was tender for another month or so but no physical therapy.

I slipped on ice and my pinky finger left hand got caught between pavement and my hip. Broke the puppy good. Almost exactly two years ago in a nasty ice storm. Only now not causing pain anymore on the regular.

This is clearly apropos of nothing else on this thread.

Except that you no longer have pain. 🤣😎

We definitely need a sarcasm emoji. This didn't seem to register ...

Duke officially says it was a 4th metacarpal bone and that though he is out indefinitely, he is expected to return later this season.

DURHAM -- Duke men’s basketball freshman forward Wendell Moore Jr., underwent successful surgery on Monday to repair a broken fourth metacarpal in his right hand. He is out indefinitely, but expected to return this season.

Dr. David Ruch performed the procedure and was assisted by Dr. Marc Richard.

Better news than I expected. At least he can keep in shape and participate in team activities. This gives a nitche for someone else to step. AOC??

i got it.

But even an insincere invitation is an invitation that I will accept.

Mine was a knee instead of a finger and it wasn't an break, just wear and tear. Still I'm sure you would like to hear about it as much as I would like to pass along my experience. I'll white it out so those of you who don't have the courtesy to read it won't have to.













There.

So you're saying you kneeded to share?
