OT Evan Turner breaks back
Get well soon ET. Hate to see this type of injury.

Best of luck to him, hopefully he gets better soon.
December 5th, 2009 at 6:08 PM ^
Ugh. That was painful to watch. You hope the best for him and a speedy recovery.
December 5th, 2009 at 6:08 PM ^
going to be hard for him to win the big ten mvp now if he's out til february... hopefully manny can step it up n take it

First thing you can think of? Have some respect for the injury and the person instead of worrying about a silly individual award.
December 6th, 2009 at 4:28 AM ^
pffft.. first thing I did after reading the injury was check the calendar to see if we play them within the next two months..
Not that I'm glad that he's injured.. but.. I'm also not sad about the fact that we won't have to face him in January.. and it's not like my well wishes will make him recover any sooner.

Injuries are part of the game and if your team gets a break by facing a team without their star player, that's one thing. I know we've been screwed like that before.
I just don't think that an individual award, like POY is that important when you're talking about severe injuries. Also, if you can't win the award when everyone's at their best and healthy, the award is a little hollow. You get the whole, "The only reason 'x player' won is because 'y player' was hurt."

sorry to offend you alice, I never said "good I'm glad he's injured," there were already a few, "damn that sucks," I wasn't gonna add some more of that, was just saying he was in the driver's seat for big ten POY and now its up for grabs
December 5th, 2009 at 6:10 PM ^
Damn, that could have been a lot worse if he would've kept rotating. Good to hear that he left under his own power.
December 5th, 2009 at 6:33 PM ^
It could have been much worse. Those are always scary, so all things considered he has reason to feel lucky.
Assuming he heals well, the kid has a bright future. Hopefully he can come back later in the year. Some time shortly after the Michigan game would be ideal.
December 5th, 2009 at 6:27 PM ^
PAINFULL. Man I hate to hear that I hope he has a quick recovery this injury is really nasty.
December 5th, 2009 at 6:39 PM ^
Tough break
December 5th, 2009 at 7:01 PM ^
Sucks for him and OSU. Sounds painful.
Hopefully he recovers and gets back....after they play us both times. I won't lie, I'm not dissapointed that he's not gonna be on the court against us.
In all seriousness, I hope he's alright.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:22 PM ^
I would never wish this upon anyone.
However, my brain tells me that if this happened to Manny, OSU fans would be celebrating.
So, get better Evan, but OSU - still fuck off.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:27 PM ^
Here's wishes for a full recovery. Back problems suck.
December 5th, 2009 at 8:15 PM ^
I remember that dunk and it was awesome. Too bad he didn't rotate a little more and stick the dismount.
December 5th, 2009 at 7:41 PM ^
... he missed the dunk!
December 5th, 2009 at 7:53 PM ^
I guess he just got worn down from carrying the team
December 5th, 2009 at 9:02 PM ^
That is awful. Hopefully he can make a speedy recovery. Between him, Manny and Battle those were the guys who were going to carry the conference this year. Too bad this had to happen.
December 6th, 2009 at 11:32 AM ^
i really hope he recovers and is well...he's lucky he didn't land on his neck... hate on ohio state all you want (and i do too), but he is a heck of a player and fun to watch (when not playing michigan)...
December 6th, 2009 at 12:08 PM ^
as much as i hate osu, turner is one of their players that i really respect. he is really good and fun to watch. I would never wish this kind of injury on anyone, whether they go to osu or not. That just looks like it was unbelievably painful, and now he's going to have to sit out 8 weeks of what was shaping up to be a very good season for him. What a shame.
December 6th, 2009 at 12:30 PM ^
OSU player or not, the guy has my sympathy.
