Rumor: Tyler Zeller out for season   I've read from multiple sources that Tyler Zeller broke his wrist in multiple places and is out for the season. He won't be flying with the team to Hawaii, but will fly separate after surgery. Regardless of how he gets there, he won't be playing. This sucks. Posted by Robbie Allen @ 11/19/2008 02:01:00 PM Comments: The Kentucy player who fouled him should have to sit for the season as well. It wasn't a dirty play, but why foul Zeller in the first place? The game was over and it was totally unnecessary. ESPN says Zeller had surgery today and the normal recovery time is 12-16 weeks. Maybe he can get back in time for the tournament run. # posted by  Anonymous : 6:52 PM   Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The good thing about a wrist injury is that is doesn't prevent you from running. He could conceivably be back by ACC tourney time. But even if he isn't, it's not the end of the world. We still have tremendous depth at the guard position, which is where you need it most come March. # posted by  Howard : 10:00 PM   Can he still get a mdeical redshirt or what is the rule for number of games played in college basketball before that is not possible? # posted by  Anonymous : 10:03 AM   does anyone have links to photos of the incident? I saw one video on youtube, but its a pretty bad angle (from the student section). I was listening to Woody call the game, so I didn't actually see the play where this happened. # posted by  Anonymous : 1:09 PM   Post a Comment << Home
