When it happened, I thought it was a hamy. Then I thought maybe a bad cramp.

Seems like we could have gotten him back in the game for one rebound...

Out for Northwestern and then day to day while he fully recovers.  Dare I say, this is almost the best case scenario.

I once tore a calf muscle just running, don't even think I took a funny step, it just happened - everyone was certain i had torn my Achilles until the doctors did the MRI, as all the symptoms were almost identical to what people describe when they tear an Achilles - so I can sympathize. Hope he's fully healed up and back soon.

Fantastic News, hopefully he’s ready to Roll tomorrow…!!!

I was hoping it was just a cramp originally.  You just never know with those non-contact injuries.  I hope he gets healed up quickly because we need him back ASAP!

 

Also, they said he definitely won’t be back for tomorrow’s game but will be day to day after that.

Hopefully this news gives the team a shot in the arm for a huge game Saturday versus what could've been pretty disheartening news.

Just so everyone is somewhat grounded:

 

Grade 1: A mild strain where only a few of the muscle fibers are strained. This usually takes 1-3 weeks for recovery.

Calf Muscle Injury - - NHS TIMS

- NHS TIMS

 

Calf strains take between 4 weeks and 6 months to heal. The typical healing times for the different grades of calf strain are: Grade 1: 4 – 6 weeks.

I'm just very glad that this thread is not going to be the Achilles heel of our season.

I’m guessing we won’t see home for a week or two at least… but this is great news!

Through my work, I have come to realize that calf strains are often a lot more problematic than we would think.  Think Joe Burrows this year.  Could hardly move until it fully healed about two months later.  Like everything, it has a fairly wide range of severity.  Let’s hope it is in the milder end, but it doesn’t feel that way to me.  
 

It is obviously great news, but it is still very possible we don’t get the same Gary this season.  Glad that there shouldn’t be drastic long term issues.

That was my first thought as well. Playing on a strained calf has to be extremely painful in basketball. Gotta get the leg right first.

Well, at least it's not a torn Achilles but it's still somewhat sobering knowing that Juwan Gary's not going to be out there, and Rienk Mast's lift is seemingly all gone. I hope it was fatigue for R.M. but it didn't look right all night against Rutgers. Man, why can't Nebrasketball have nice things?!?!

My heart initially sank when I saw this thread

[TourneyBound]

Should we be concerned about his now day to day prognosis?? Some speculation out there on other sites about Gary’s status. Hopefully just rumors….

[hhcmatt]

It's very much out there.

Seems like he could be 'day-to-day' for the next 5+ games

 

 

[throwback]

I think he's been punished enough - he was on the bench and had to watch that debacle Saturday at Maryland up close and personal.

 

[hskr4life]

Would make sense as to why he went from a shoot around participant/game time decision to a “not playing/out” the day before the following game.

Is this a strategy to win over the selection committee?

 

"We can't win a conference road game, but that's because Gary couldn't play."

[huskerbaseball13]

Have no idea why he may be “suspended” but this is Juwan’s what….3rd suspension since being at Nebraska? At what point do you just kick him off the team?
