Pope’s update on Kerr

Yeah, that first follow-up x-ray will tell a lot. If it's already made good progress, we could probably expect him back by the start of January.
I took that as that's when we'd know more, a la follow-up imaging. Ten days would be insane turnaround for any sort of fracture whether it's surgically repaired or not. Modern medicine and all that, though.
I think he is just joking, because I had the same injury and if that doctor gets Kerr back in 10 days he must be Jesus Christ himself.
Cal would say six weeks. Greenberg would "whatever Cal says".
But why mention Vegas saying 6 weeks? I agree 10 days would be nuts.I took that as that's when we'd know more, a la follow-up imaging. Ten days would be insane turnaround for any sort of fracture whether it's surgically repaired or not. Modern medicine and all that, though.
I'm confused.
With the 10 days part............I kinda took it like in 10 days we'll have more information on the time frame, not that he would be ready to go in 10 days.
But I could be wrong lol.

Well his surgery or not I have doubts about him being much of a contributor on this season now. If it's more then a 6 weeks then it's 2 late. I thinking best case he makes it back and gets into game shape around last few weeks of February or SEC TOURNAMENT time. Sucks for him the timing of this injury. Pope didn't mean he be ready to practice in 10 days. He meant first follow up appointment is 10 days. Then rehab starts or jogging. Hope I'm wrong but I think we are short a point guard and Butler will be whistled for 2 quick ones on every sec road game.
Everyone is not the same. Some people heal quicker than other. We will see. If you watch Pope on the post game interview he was smiling when he said 10 days. I think he was joking.

Probably saying the over/under would be 6weeks. In 10 days we’ll know more and know if it’s more likely to be quicker or longer than “what Vegas says”
Exactly the meaning I took from that quote and I think you are dead on. That also makes the most sense of an explanation for what he said.
It’s probably a hairline fracture and not really broken. The surgery was to fuse the bone to make it heal faster. No gloom and doom like many think.
I think the 10 days is to get him past the post surgery initial recovery, before they can evaluate if 6 weeks is a realistic timeline. he's not going to be back in 10 days.
This is better than I was thinking. This easily makes him available for tournament play.
