No snark and genuinely curious...

I do not recall any star dook** players go out for the season or miss significant playing time. Could you name a few over the last 10 years ?

Zion?
Kyrie wasn't in the last 10 but it was a big deal
Flagg last season missed the ACCT...
Maliq Brown missed several last year with the dislocated shoulder
Jayson Tatum missed like 8 games
Amile Jefferson missed over 20 games with a broken foot
Harry Giles had a knee thing but he was basically always broken

Thanks...
My recollection is that Flagg turned his ankle and missed the final games of the ACCT . The x-rays were negative, but Scheyer decided to hold him out until the NCAAT out of an" abundance of caution"

Maliq Brown averaged less than 3 points/game. I wouldn't call him a star player

Jason Tatum missed his first 8 games as a freshman with a sprained foot and missed a couple of weeks at the first of the season.

I forgot about Zion but I wasn't thinking going back 7 years to remember a dook injury. He suffered a knee sprain and sat out and missed a few games, but yes he was certainly a star.

Amile Jefferson injured his foot and did miss over 20 games 11 years ago but was granted a red shirt waiver for a 5th year so he had that going for him :)

Harry Giles came to dook** in 2016 and had been injured in high school but played over 20 some games and averaged around 5 points a game. I wouldn't call him a star for the devils.

I mean sometimes there's little difference in losing a star and a key player. Losing Brown was huge. And knowing anything about him, points aren't his thing

But I mean you lost a player for 6 games. Just saying we've had our share

I agree you have had your share when you go back 11 or 12 years. I have lost track of our injuries going back 12 years, but our 3 best players have suffered injuries this year which has colored my take/bias on injuries .
No worries my friend... and I will be rooting for dook** tomorrow !

Yeah losing THE player is brutal. Thankfully looks like he's on his way back. But it does suck when it's one you will only see for one year

I think we also had a covid year player get hurt and then he quit. I don't remember why he quit. Johnson or something. I barely paid attention that year. And he was a punk bitch
