    I saw that a couple people think he hurt his knee. Any word on this? Was he okay after bumping knees?

    Don't play with my emotions!

    Two tough L's . Haven't played great, but I ain't down one bit. #RipCity

    This is the only thing I could. I'm praying that's a good thing

    Last play of the game, he drove in and dropped off a pass to Hickson for a layup, but landed awkwardly. He was massaging his knee the whole time off the court.

    Made my stomach churn.

    ugh. Hope it's nothing.

    I think I must really be dead inside. The idea that he'd go down with a knee injury and be out for the year sounds not only possible, but it also barely gets a raised eyebrow out of me anymore.

    And after he got up from the fall, he was limping down around the court until the clock wound down. But since he didn't mention anything in the above tweet, I guess he's okay. He probably just banged knees or shins, from what I could tell.

    Minor meniscus tear. Nothing to see here. Move along. :sigh:

    Edit: In case someone thought that was reported somewhere, I was just being a wise ass.

    I'm trying not to feel that way... nothing would surprise me at this point, but I'm just hoping for a healthy season.

    I ran through that hypothetical in my mind just now, and my reaction would be a shrug and "oh, there it is..."

    That's what Roy, Przybilla, and Roy thought at first.

    Well there's no mention of it in the recap on ESPN or on Oregonlive. I'm guessing we're in the clear.
