I guess the checks didn’t clear…. “Unspecified” injury. I’m sure he was really being pushed in practice the day before the opener..
 
Hurt his hip (bruise?) in practice Monday. He had a slight limp going Wednesday night but didn't look like anything too crazy.

We looked decent without him, minus Ogbole who was a disaster in his limited minutes. Gonna be an issue once the competition steps up.

See y'all in a few weeks at the RAC.
 
Sha has a few weeks to pull some magic out of his butt or it could be a major ass kicking coming---
I feel the same way, but I'm hoping because it's a rivalry game throw everything out the window. But is it a rivalry game, are there rivalry games with players transferring constantly?

He hurt his hip? How does that possibly happen. Even if that is legit, youre telling me it’s SO painful that it would stop a 19 year old from playing basketball? Such bs
 
Okay, and I guess you believe Joel Embiid is horrendously hurt too?

You wanna normalize players sitting out all the time because they’re finger nail hurts be my guest.

But to the rest of us who want to see the players and teams we root for this nonsense is just another nail in the coffin to fandom. All it does is tell me they don’t care about their teammates, the coaches or the fans. So at what point should we stop caring with them?

Funny how he’ll be able to play in the next game. Must’ve found a magical cure to that debilitating injury!
 
I don't know if the kid is hurt or not. I have no basis for questioning him and I've only been following the situation from a far. But college sports are far more complicated now with NIL so you never know if it is a factor.

From what I've read, Harper has signed a few large national NIL deals, most notably with Nike and Red Bull, while Bailey has been relatively quiet. He could be waiting to close a lucrative deal and until then did not want to risk playing with an injury vs Wagner. And of course he has his NBA draft status to consider. There are many reasons not to play through a minor injury.

Throw in that Rutgers' deal with Addidas has expired and Bailey's been wearing Nike sneakers every practice and exhibition and it's a complex situation that may or may not have anything to do with. Hope to see him on the floor soon as he's a special talent.

That's probably the only consideration here. He's got up to $40 million reasons to not get injured at RU. If he's sore or something is hurting him, he should sit.
