Not as bad as it looked
As we headed for the locker room door tonight, Jared Jeffries came back in on crutches with MRI results for the medical staff to review. They all huddled in a back room, exhaled and exited with the news.
Jeffries has a sprained right knee along with a bone bruise.
It’s the same ACL he tore in 2002, which is what cause Jeffries more agony than anything when he was on the floor. He is to use the crutches for the weekend and will be re-evaluated within two weeks.
That’s worse than a day-to-day issue, but not as bad as a season-long sentance.
“It was scary for a while because I know how much goes into (rehab) if you have a serious injury like an ACL,â€? Jeffries said. “But I got really good news for the most part.”
