    I'm just hoping that Trevor's injury is not too severe.
    Yup. Unless I'm forgetting someone obvious, the only player I've really ever heard of who suffered a torn achilles and came back from it to anywhere close to the same level of performance as he had pre-injury has been Kevin Durant. It's a terrible injury for an athlete to suffer.

    Do we have any reason to believe that Keels actually suffered it?

    Nope. In fact, we have every reason to believe that he did not, based on how we saw him moving with our own eyes.

    The evidence is actually starting to mount that recovery is possible now. Cam Akers tore his Achilles within the last year, but he is back as the RB for the Rams. It's still a scary injury, but I think that - much like UCL injuries used to be career-enders for pitchers - we're starting to see science catch up to Achilles tears.

    That said, there doesn't seem to be any reason for concern (yet) about Keels' Achilles.

    And inevitably, we would see the wordplay about "a Keels-y" injury. Sorry.

    Yep, Waino tore his Achilles in 2015 and I think he missed a year.

    jv (and the UVa posters) "our" or "we" should refer to Duke teams or players. Waino?

    Didn’t Daniel Jones have an Achilles injury? Or am I having a senior moment?

    You weren’t far off. Jones initially got the starting gig because of Sirk’s Achilles injury.

    I'm hearing that Keels injury is not too serious. Still too early to know but there is a chance he will play against Syracuse.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

One of these:



    That's a pretty weird injury for basketball IMO, and more of one you might see in baseball (during slides), football or soccer. You don't generally bend like he did during the normal course of a basketball game. If it was a severe injury, recovery time looks like 8-12 weeks, according to this:

    But again, not a doctor. Just a guess based on the way he bent.
    One smallish nitpick: the picture you're showing and the recovery time in the link isn't the calf, it's the front of the lower leg (hence "anterior" tibialis, anterior meaning front). The main muscles of the calf are the gastrocnemius and soleus.

    This may be where he got it, not that we know where this guy got his info.

    Yea I was saying that I didn’t think based on how he bent his leg and where he was holding it after was the calf, but the muscles/ligaments along the shin.

    Wow as a group we have a touch of the ol’ anxiety about injuries, huh?

    This photo shows Keels grabbing his right shin area. Let's hope its only a contusion or strain of the calf or shin area.

    That is amazing news! Even if he ends up not playing this weekend, just the fact that the injury is minor and nothing long term is a huge sigh of relief, as this team really doesn't have the depth to sustain an extended absence from any of our top six guys.

    First Keels has that mysterious shoulder injury where he took himself out of the game but then was fine for the next one. Now this. If he escapes a train wreck unscathed, I'm going to start looking out for Bruce Willis in a security poncho and Samuel L Jackson using a wheelchair.
