Kerr Kriisa

Photo at time of injury is the best for prognosis.

The bruising at the heel indicates partial to full thickness tear of calcaneofibular ligament. We get the MRI to confirm thinking, but can generally make the dx on clinical eval. Blood pools there due to gravity.

Given he’s already in pool therapy, I’m speculating that he has a grade 2. Grade three, he’d be done and likely heading for surgery to repair a full thickness tear. Again all speculation.

For us mere mortals , bank on 6 weeks minimum.

For Kriisa, I’d advice get through the weekend if you can and have him ready for the second weekend. And trust that the trainers are gonna tape it down good.

Are Crocs good foot and ankle support?

Can you imagine Kriisa celebrating after a national title? Would be must-see TV for the whole world, lol.

Feel like they’d need that on at least a 30 second delay. I’m scared his big balls might actually make an appearance.

I'm imaging a Macy's Thanksgiving type event with a Big Balls float.

The kid might get a NLI deal out of this?

BTW, speaking to the time of picture, anyone know what hotel they went to up in Vegas because that rug and wall art don’t scream college student athlete apartment to me. Looks more like a coaches suite at mid-level Bonvoy hotel. If that’s actually his apartment, nicely done, BBKK.

Edit: maybe his GF lives in Marana.

Foreign students can't do NLI. They are not legally allowed to work while studying in the U.S. due to visa restrictions.

Wow. I did not know that, though it makes sense. Thanks!

He then needs to tread carefully with this.

This is epic! What a character & gift Kerr is for us

[dovecanyoncat]

Crocs are bad enough. Pastel Puke Crocs are hideous, bordering on unforgiveable.

[Beachcat97]

Crocs are bad, but man have I been seeing them everywhere lately. I'm hoping Kriisa can leverage his weekend postgame theatrics into a lucrative endorsement deal.

[azcat49]

Can’t happen due to his foreign status, at least under the current NIL rules.

LOL!!! He could land a deal either for wearing them, or throwing them away!!!!

Fully expect a Schlabach story within hours claiming Kriisa is in violation of NCAA benefits rules and that Tommy Lloyd is on tape attempting to broker a seven figure endorsement deal with Crocs for him.

It's not an NIL rules thing, it's a student visa rule. You can't work when your are studying from abroad in the U.S.

I definitely laughed at this, but then thought...too soon? I won't stop feeling bad for Miller until he's got another coaching job and starting to have success.

But man, the Lloyd Era is here, baby! And AZ hoops is ROLLING!

One - Is he really studying?
Two - He doesn't have to work either...

A worthwhile organization would approach Congress about this to remedy that situation, but alas the NCAA is not that.

The team was staying at the Delano. I only know this because I was lucky enough to share an elevator with Coach Lloyd and Justin Kier. Also saw Mic Cronin walking through the lobby so it seems like multiple teams may have been there.

Regarding the note that Kerr post is from Marana… I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not practically living with Justin Kokoskie right now. Kokoskie lives in the Marana area. Justin might be literally working on that ankle 24/7.

I didn't even think about this and this is literally probably accurate.

inversion injury was the best we all could hope for

An Iverson injury only keeps you out of practice, not a game.

Whatever. He better be showing up for his classes.

"In the fall of 2020, Miller asked all of his guys to write down the number of minutes and points they expected to average. Whenever Miller did this in the past, the totals far exceeded what was available, which is the point of the exercise. After he handed out the papers, Kerr and Tubelis pulled Miller aside and told him that they didn’t want to participate. “Where we’re from, the players don’t make these decisions,” Kriisa said. “You’re the coach. Whatever you tell us to do, we do.” When they left, Miller turned to Murphy and said, “That’s the damndest conversation I’ve ever had as a coach.”

“Actually, when it happened, I thought it was over,” Kriisa said. “Like when the moment hit, I felt like my leg was ... I was scared to look down because I thought that it really snapped and it was like (a) completely different direction, but luckily nothing broke, and I still have a chance to play.”

Kriisa, who is averaging 10.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, said he’s been some “some crazy stuff” with UA trainer Justin Kokoskie in order to get his ankle healed up enough to play. Kokoskie has also helped him deal with the mental side of overcoming an injury.

“You got to believe, and I’m believing and (everything is) going in a good direction right now,” Kriisa said. “So it’s all mental. If I wouldn’t think (that) then probably, my leg wouldn’t be healing as good, too.”

Not surprisingly, Kriisa has found a way to make his healing process “interesting,” as anyone who’s come across his late-night ankle tweets would know.

“You wake up in the morning, you don’t know how your leg looks like, so it’s kind of interesting,” he said. “You just look at your leg and are like, oh, this is new color here again, a little bit purple, a little bit more yellow. You just got to make things interesting for yourself.”

The one shown today was particularly reassuring, level of swelling way down. If that is from 1-2 days ago…

Unsubtle dig at Miller.

It's a weird one too because he had a 14.1 usage rate this year and a 13.6 last year. Both are pretty low and verify he played off the ball this year.

I just hope he's ok and progressing well. Sunday would be ideal.

I want both Big Balls ready when he returns to the court, not just one.

I'm surprised at this. Seems like we should sit him this entire weekend and assuming we win, he'll have another week of healing.
