Mitch McGary not full-go at practice right now. Getting lots of treatment on his leg.

McGary is practicing, but Beilein says he's been limited somewhat as he continues to get treatment on a previous leg injury.

Jon Horford twisted a knee yesterday. Beilein says he's concerned -- no report yet though.

Mark Snyder @Mark__Snyder

Beilein: Jon Horford left practice Wednesday with a knee injury and Beilein will get a report today.. Said its a concern

If McGary is able to practice at all, his injury presumably can't be that bad.  As for Horford, a "twisted knee"  can mean almost anything.

I'm not a doctor, but it seems pretty rare that basketball players tear their ACL. Especially big men. Obviously D-Rose just had an issue, and Baron Davis ... but are there many 6'10"+ type guys? Kenyon Martin and Blake Griffin come to mind, but they are more athletic types, as opposed to the low post type (like Horford).

Sometimes you don't even need to cut or twist to tear an ACL, although it isn't the most common way to do it. I remember C-Webb did it several years back playing for the Kings during the playoffs. He simply jumped (I believe it was an alley-oop or rebound) and was clutching his knee before he hit the ground.

Robinson goes to the four and Stauskus' minutes go up, that would be a nice guard heavy offense. I don't know about you guys but I'm just as excited about Stauskus as I am our other two big recruits, if not more...

This seems reasomably appropriate to put here because there really isn't any other place to put it:  I got to tour the PDC yesterday and, not that this is news to anyone now, but that is a SWEET facility.  They are still adding stuff and installing signage, and they are also working furiously on the last of the Crisler changes.  Very nice.

Coach Alexander showed us how the iPads work; to be honest, when I first saw their unveiling in the PDC video, I assumed they were just sweet little high-tech toys.  Something nice to have, something that would appeal to recruits, but nothing more than a fun perk.  In fact they are loaded with content about opponents, teams, indivdual players, etc).  Michigan players can essentially study film wherever.  

To make it a little more relevant, we saw Corey Person, Jordan Morgan, and Trey Burke shooting baskets so THOSE guys are fine.

I really feel bad for any player that gets injured on or off the field. They spend a life-time getting to where they are and then all of a sudden it's taken away. I have been trying sanotint to keep healthy lately. I also have some nupo in the morning to start the day.
