Lehigh's McCollum Releases Statement

Lehigh University senior All-American guard C. J. McCollum hasn't spoken publicly since breaking a bone in his left foot on January 5th at Virginia Commonwealth University.
McCollum was set to address the media on Sunday for the first time since having surgery on the injury and being ruled out eight to ten weeks. The press conference was cancelled, as the two-time Patriot League Player of the Year and the league's all-time scorer didn't want to be a distraction to his team as they played rival Lafayette two hours later.
In a statement released by the university, McCollum said, "I was reluctant to do a press conference or presser because I don't want to be a distraction or deflect attention that rightfully belongs to my team. I am focusing on my academics and being the best supporter I can for my teammates. The focus should be on them and the success we're having as a team."
Lehigh has won all five games since McCollum has been out recuperating. McCollum ranks second in the nation at 23.9 points per game.
He said his rehabilitation is going well and has started pool workouts as well as extensive upper body weightlifting.
"My rehab is going well and I'm taking this injury in stride and using it to become a better student of the game in all facets. I have grown closer to God and realize that this injury was a blessing in disguise... Everything is going well and I've heard nothing but positive feedback from trainers and team physicians. My teammates have made this transition easy for me by handling business on the court. I will continue to be a positive influence on them helping in every way possible from the sideline. I have all the confidence in the world in them and look forward to being an efficacious asset and leader for our team," McCollum said.

Tips For Picking Out Hockey Skates

Picking out the right pair of hockey skates for you is just as difficult as picking out frames for new glasses. When making your selection, you shouldn't do it on price alone or whether your favorite NHL player wears them. What should you look for when shopping for new hockey skates? Here are some tips for picking the right ones for you:

1. Are they hockey skates? This may sound like a ridiculous question, but make sure you are actually purchasing hockey skates and not figure skates. Figure skates will have toe picks, a serrated edge at the front of the skate that helps the athlete jump. Hockey skates will not have a toe pick.
2. Cost. Are expensive hockey skates really better than cheaper hockey skates? It depends on how much skating you will be doing and how your skates will be used. Recreational skates cost $40-$60, mid-range skates from $80-$150, and professional quality skates up to $600. The expensive skates are stiffer, lighter, and have less ankle padding than their cheaper versions.
3. Skates should fit needs. Are you a weekend warrior or in a competing hockey league? The right hockey skate goes with the purpose. If you're playing once or twice a month recreationally then you don't need to shell out top dollar for the best hockey skates. However, if you're in a league and playing regular games, a higher-end skate would be worth it, as it will last longer and hold up better. 
4. Where should you shop? You would never order glasses over the internet would you? You want to try them on and see what looks best on you. So hockey skates should never be purchased online either. Brands and models change over time, and just because you've worn that skate for the last 5 years doesn't mean there haven't been improvements or changes. Go to sporting goods stores and try on several different pairs. Once you have found the right one for you, then you can go online and find the best price. 
5. Getting the right fit. Purchasing a skate that is too big is a mistake. The heel cup in your boot should hold your heel tight. When the heel cup shifts, it causes irritating blisters and spurs. Competitive skaters should look for a skate that has form fitting ankle padding and full carbon outsoles. There should be enough room for your big toe, but they should touch the end of your skate. When you bend your knees, your toe should pull away from the front of your boot. Your skates should fit snugly, but not tightly. Lace your skates all the way when you first try them on to ensure the perfect fit. Remember too that hockey skates fit 1 to 1 1/2 sizes smaller than your street shoes, and widths run bigger than traditional sizing. 
6. Brands are not equal. Just like clothing, hockey skates will vary from brand to brand and even model to model. Some brands also provide specific skates for specific types of feet. Bauer skates are good for people with a narrow foot or low instep. Bauer's Classic series is best for people with a wider foot and their Missions series is good for those with a higher instep. Those with a high instep should avoid CCM. If you have an average instep, look for Nikes, whose skates also run wide. Graf and RBK skates have models for all types of feet, while Easton skates are best for those with wide feet.
7. Breaking in. Breaking in hockey skates can be painful, taking 2 to 5 hours of ice time. Wear them around the house with skate guards on for as long as possible is a good way to avoid some of the pain you'll feel on the ice. Some shops offer a heating service which will help the breaking in process.

Flyers' Hartnell Not Flying With Broken Metatarsal

Scott Hartnell (Photo credit: Crashmaster007)

Philadelphia Flyers' general manager Paul Holmgren announced on Friday that winger Scott Hartnell had successful surgery to repair a broken first metatarsal in his left foot and will be out four to six weeks.
Hartnell was hit in last Tuesday's loss to the New Jersey Devils by a shot taken by teammate Kimmo Timonen.
"He's a big loss because of how he plays the game. A month or two months is a hard pill to swallow," said Holmgren.
Over five seasons, Hartnell has had more ups and downs and stops and starts, but has grown from a forceful and reckless power forward to the Flyers' best scorer. He was known for his durability; Hartnell missed just three games in those five seasons.
Now the Flyers are without the multifaceted Hartnell. They've signed veteran Mike Knuble, who failed a tryout for the Red Wings earlier this month, but played one game for their AHL affiliate before getting the call from Holmgren Thursday morning. Knuble, who played with the Flyers from 2005-08, is considered one of the game's best leaders and averaged 28.5 goals per season during his four seasons with the Flyers.
"Obviously we're familiar with Mike. He was here for a few years, and he's a good guy. A good, big, and heavy player. We think he's a good guy to throw in the mix right now. He's excited to come back. He's familiar with some of our players. There's still a few guys left here from when he last played... He'll be an excellent role model to our young guys," said Holmgren.
Hartnell had one assist in three games this season and posted 37 goals and 30 assists last season.
Holmgren was asked if players should be wearing skate guards to prevent injuries like the one that happened to Hartnell. "It hinders guys a little bit. You don't want to mess with a player's skates... Obviously it's an issue. I think in the last five years we've had Simon Gagne, Brayden Schenn, Jeff Carter, Chris Ponger, and Scotty now with similar injuries from blocking shot," Holmgren said.

Georgia's Theus Has Foot Surgery

Another one of college football's best players has undergone surgery in the offseason to correct a foot problem.
The latest is John Theus of University of Georgia, who had surgery Wednesday at St. Mary's Hospital to repair a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot. Theus, a 6-foot-6, 309 pound freshman started at right tackle at all 14 games this past season and will miss at least part of spring practice. He is expected to recover in time for preseason practice, according to the team.
It is unsure if Theus, from Jacksonville, FL, suffered the injury during the season or sometime after. He came to Georgia as a 5-star-rated recruiting prospect and became the third player to start at tackle since freshmen became eligible to start a season opener at the tackle position.
This news means that less experience players will get an opportunity to get more snaps in practice as the team tried to build depth on the line.

Milos Raonic Plagued By Overuse Injury

English: Milos Raonic after beating Youzhny at the 2011 Australian Open (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Milos Raonic lost in the fourth round of the Australian Open to Roger Federer, but the 22-year old still has a bright future and a big serve.    
Instead of setting his sights of winning the Australian Open, Raonic will now focus on Canada's Davis Cup World Group tie against Spain, scheduled for February 1st-3rd at UBC's Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
Raonic is ranked 15th in the world, and was named to the team by team captain Martin Laurendeau, who watched the young player from Thorn-hill, Ont. lose to Federer 6-4, 7-6, 6-2.
Raonic later said he was plagued by pain in his left foot against Federer, and wasn't sure that he would be able to play against the Swiss champion an hour before the match was to start. "I rushed out to get a quick MRI on my foot," Raonic said.
In a teleconference later in Melbourne Raonic downplayed the injury, saying he didn't expect it to be an issue training in Vancouver for the Davis Cup.
"The foot is good. It's just pain from use. It was really nothing until 48 hours ago. There's nothing there to affect my participation in the Davis Cup matches. I'll be there, if called upon. I just need a few days to maximize my treatment physiotherapy to make it go away and get well," Raonic said.
"I don't think my foot played a large part in the result last night, I really think it was Roger playing well and me not being there as much as I needed to be. I made a lot of errors that in no way were connected to my foot and I just didn't execute as well as I needed to and that's just what it came down to more than anything else," Raonic said.

Pierre Garcon Still Deciding About Foot Surgery

The Washington Redskins' season has ended, so now is the time to recuperate, rest injuries, and have surgery if need be.
Pierre Garcon, who tore the plantar plate in his second toe of his right foot, has still not made a decision if he will have surgery to repair the tear or not. A source close to Garcon says that he is focusing on resting the foot, but should make an official announcement in a few weeks. Coach Mike Shanahan said that Garcon would speak with additional specialists and seek other options before making a decision.
Garcon has never had surgery before and is reportedly "not keen" on having the surgery, which has a recuperation time of three to four months and does not always fix the problem. He tore the plantar plate in the season opener against New Orleans and missed six games, but still finished with a team high of 633 yards and four touchdowns on 44 catches. He had a 14.4 yards per catch average, which was still the second highest average in his five seasons playing professionally.
With the tear in his plantar plate, Garcon was unable to push off at the line of scrimmage, which impacted his ability to dig his foot into the ground and cut. He tried returning after two games but was ineffective and told by medical staff to avoid weight on his foot.

Soccer's Ward Sidelined With Broken Metatarsal

English soccer player Danny Ward of Huddersfield Town had been out for five games with a knee injury and illness and was looking forward to getting back to playing the game.
But the 21-year-old Ward broke a metatarsal during a warm-up to the Championship game at Vicarage Road. Manager Simon Grayson confirmed after Saturday's 4-0 defeat that, "On his return from injury, Danny Ward caught his foot in training and after going for an X-ray it revealed that he has fractured metatarsal, which is going to rule him out for six to eight weeks."
Ward has been a regular starter for the Terriers and made 23 appearances before injuring his knee at Christmas time. This injury is particularly frustrating for Grayson, who has been facing pressure that he is not suited to manage the team.
"We were working to have Danny back in the side... (and his injury) is a setback both for the club and the player," said Grayson.

Winter Minimalist Running Tips

Just because you're a minimalist runner doesn't mean you have to stop running in the winter. You're probably wondering all kinds of questions- How do I run barefoot  in the winter? Will my Vibrams go out in the snow, ice, or freezing rain? How do you keep up your normal mileage in the winter?
Here are some tips in continuing your running routine during the cold winter months:

1. The shoes you have already are probably fine. Your body will take time to adapt to the colder weather. Just like in the spring when the temperature goes up to 50 degrees, you'll be wearing shorts, your feet will need time to adapt to the colder temperatures. Typically, those who are outside runners will take one to two weeks to get comfortable. Serious minimalist runners have been able to run in temperatures as low as -20 degrees wearing nothing but their Vibrams and Injinji socks. Instead of investing in a new pair of shoes, purchase a heavier pair of socks.
2. Expose your feet to the cold. The more you expose your feet to the cold weather, the faster your body will adapt. Go outside often with as little on your feet as possible. As soon as your feet start to feel numb, head back inside. 
3. Keep your core warm. When you start running, your feet will be very cold. After 10 minutes, you will have warmed up and they may get cold again, but not for long. This is known as Cold Induced Vascodilation (CIV), a phenomenon when your body tries to warm your core before your extremities. If your core is cold, it will not send much blood to your feet. However, if your core is warm, your body will send more blood to your feet. To prevent CIV, dress warmer in your core than you think you need to. 
4. Warm your feet up before going out. Some options of warming up your feet include: standing in front of the heater a few minutes before going out, jogging around the house for a bit and work up a sweat, leave the house with more layers on than you think and take them off into your run, and wear shoes for the first 10 minutes of your run if you're going barefoot.
5. Be more careful. Numb feet aren't going to help you feel the ground or chunks of ice you may step on. You're also not going to feel your form starting to slip, and you're susceptible to blisters, cuts, and abrasions. When the temperatures get down to below the 30's your feet become useless blobs at the end of your legs. Since your feet are numb, you'll have to use your other senses. Watch where you are running and stop frequently to check for cuts or blisters.

Hornet's Davis Out Again With Ankle Injury

Some players just can't seem to catch a break.
Marcus Camby is out again with recurring plantar fasciitis, and now New Orleans Hornets rookie forward Anthony Davis is sidelined with a left ankle injury.
Davis sustained the injury sometime during the first half against Sacramento, ending up on the floor in pain. He sat out the entire second half of the game.
Davis had scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting and had six rebounds, limping to the locker room when the Hornets had a 64-39 lead. This is the same ankle that had the stress fracture earlier in the season and caused Davis to miss 11 games.
The Hornets were likely being cautious keeping Davis out the second half, considering his earlier injury history and the fact they put up 64 points in the first two quarters. Davis said after the game that he didn't believe the injury to be serious, and expects to play today against San Antonio.
What I recommend for Davis is that he find a good conditioning and strengthening coach who can specifically target his ankles. If he continues to have ankle injuries, he will go the way of Stephen Curry, a talented and young basketball player who will likely end his career short with ankle sprains and problems.

Tipsarevic Forced Out Of Australian Open With Foot Injury

Tennis stars keep falling to foot injuries.
The latest casualty was eighth seeded Janko Tipsarevic, who went down with a foot injury during the fourth round of his match against Nicolas Almagro during the Australian Open. He was trailing 6-2, 5-1 when he injured his left foot. The 10th seeded Almagro advanced to the quarterfinal against fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.
Tipsarevic said he injured his foot when he changed directions during a rally in the seventh game of the last set, and could not walk on it afterward. He had come from draining back-to-back five setters and called the trainer to bandage his left foot early in the first set.
Almagro said of his opponent, "That's not the way you want to win. But that's sport. Sometimes you can't do your best and you need to stop. I think he made the best decision."
In the press conference after the match, Tipsarevic said, "I don't know how I managed to do it but I completely screwed up my left heel. I haven't seen the doctor yet... and I don't know what he's going to say. Nico Almagro was playing great tennis, hitting the ball powerfully from both wings. But I was feeling great today, I wasn't feeling tired at all from my previous matches. It was a beautiful day for tennis and I really felt I could play well. And I could not be more pissed off with the way I finished the competition."

Duke's Ryan Kelly Out Indefinitely With Foot Injury

Top-ranked Duke is without their number three scorer and forward Ryan Kelly after he suffered a right foot injury in a 68-40 win against Clemson last Tuesday. Kelly had scored 12 points during the first half on Tuesday, but did not return to the game because of the injury.
"We're hopeful that it's not real serious, but for precautionary reasons, we felt it good not to play him in the second half," coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
The Blue Devils made their announcement on their Twitter account, but did not go into any detail as to the nature of Kelly's injury.
Krzyzewski will miss Kelly because he uses a seven-man rotation. The Blue Devils are 15-1, 2-1 ACC so far this season.
Kelly is averaging 13.4 points per game, third on the team behind Mason Plumlee, who had foot problems earlier in the season, and Seth Curry. In Duke's past nine games, Kelly has been shooting 67.7% from the three-point range. The 6-11 Kelly has been giving opponents a match-up problem because of his ability not only because of his inside strength, but also because of his ability to shoot beyond the arc.
Last March Kelly sprained the same foot, causing him to miss the ACC tournament and Duke's opening round NCAA loss against Lehigh (perhaps why Lehigh prevailed?).
The team's depth will be tested with Josh Hairston and Amile Jefferson getting minutes.
"We feel very badly for Ryan. He is playing the best basketball of his career and this is a tough setback for him. We're hoping for a good recovery and we are optimistic about his return," said Krzyzewski.
Duke lost their first game of the season against North Carolina, a team they have easily beaten in the past.

Derek Jeter Working Way Back From Ankle Injury

English: New York Yankees Derek Jeter batting against the Baltimore Orioles during a baseball game Thursday, June 28, 2007 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

How can it be that spring training is just around the corner?
Having suffered an ankle fracture during the American League Championship last October against the Detroit Lions, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is doing all he can to come back from the injury and be ready for opening day on April 1st. Jeter broke his ankle lunging for a grounder in Game 1 and had surgery a week later.
He was cleared on Wednesday to resume baseball activities, but won't take the field until the end of the month. The 13-time All-Star player said this is normal pre-spring training routine.
"I've go the ok to start. But I don't start until next week or the week after, anyway. In terms of baseball activity, I'm right where I need to be," said Jeter.
Jeter is out of a walking boot and has begun working out in Tampa.
"He's doing fine," general manager Brian Cashman said. "All the boots are off. He's allowed to walk around now in shoes and stuff, but he's not doing any running. He's at the complex and they have an underwater treadmill, so he's been doing some walking underwater."
Jeter had his best season in 2012 since 1999, leading the American League with 216 hits and batted .316 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs. His ankle had been originally injured in mid-September and then later reinjured by several foul balls off his foot.
He is just one of several players, including CC Sabathia (elbow) and Mariano Rivera (torn ACL), who are coming into spring training off surgery.

NDSU's Taylor Braun Out With Stress Fracture

North Dakota State University announced Tuesday that leading scorer Taylor Braun will miss four to six weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot.
Not sure who Taylor Braun is? Nate Wolters may be the player everyone talks about from the Summit League, but Braun is the better player, his team sitting two games ahead of Wolters' South Dakota State team.
Braun, a 6-foot-7 swingman, was injured during the second half of last Saturday's win against Oakland.
"It's certainly unfortunate for Taylor, from the standpoint of what he's done for us as a team to this point. His leadership, the work he put in over the summer," said coach Saul Phillips in his weekly "Coaches Corner" segment.
The race for the Summit League regular season title had appeared to be looking in the Bison's favor until Braun's injury. He helped get the team to a 6-0 start in Summit play, where they are tied for first place with Western Illinois. Overall, the team is 15-3, and ranked 56 in the RPI.
Braun averaged 15.2 points and 5.0 rebounds, with 2.8 assists per game. He is also shooting an impressive 47.5% from the field and 50% from the 3-point range.
"I feel horrible for Taylor. But for the rest of us, you know what? We're still sitting in a good spot. There's no pout in us. And I think we've got a big ol' chip on our shoulder right now," said Phillips.
The loss of Braun can mean a change in the race for the Summit League title. North Dakota State has several away games against Western Illinois and South Dakota State and losses could mean chasing the title from behind the last month. With his size and ability to score, Braun was a good match-up against opponents in the Summit. Mike Felt or Chris Kading will get more minutes while Braun recovers.
Braun should be back for when NDSU hosts Western Illinois on Valentine's Day.

Stephen Curry Out Again With Ankle Problem

Wizards v/s Warriors 03/02/11 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As we predicted in our last blog post about Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, he is out once again after spraining his right ankle.
"It's really just a freak injury. We don't do much in shootaround- (he was) just chasing after a loose rebound. It's unfortunate. We will shut him down. He'll get treatment, and we'll see where he goes," said coach Mark Jackson before Wednesday night's game against Miami.
Curry landed on the foot of rookie Festus Ezeli during the shootaround on Wednesday morning. X-rays came back negative, but his return will be based on how his right ankle progresses.
"I haven't had a sprain in two and a half months, so my ligaments are probably the healthiest they've been," said Curry. "Just have to wait and see how they recover. I haven't been in this situation for a while. I don't know if it will be a fast or slow kind of deal just because after two surgeries and all that process, it finally had time to cool down. So we'll see tomorrow."
""I'm not a doctor," said Jackson, "but I can't imagine it turning into something more. I'm not going to get into timetables and all of that. We're not concerned."
Jarrett Jack started in Curry's place on Wednesday. Jack was acquired in the offseason from New Orleans for the specific reason of filling in for Curry when he injured his ankle.
Without Curry, the Warriors' offense is lacking and Jackson will have to readjust how he ends games. Jack is typically at point with Curry and guard Kay Thompson is on the wings. This means rookie forward Harrison Barnes will get more crunchtime minutes.
"It will be a feel of flow. I've very confident in my guys... I don't know who will close the ballgame. The game will dictate that," Jackson said.
