Jok injury

Fell on left hip so he is sore. He iced it during and after the game. I bet old Sante Claus brings him a nice red pillow to sit on.
Most likely a hip pointer. It'll be sore/stiff a few days, but ice and a day or so of rest should be all he needs. Just hope he doesn't land on it again in the same play within the next week and rebruise it.
They may tape a pad/cushion over it to protect him.

Scheduled for hip replacement next week.
I agree. I've noticed he really likes to overplay it when he falls down. Like he's looking for a little attention. I can live with it because he shares the ball and leads his team of Freshmen very well.
Jok played on a bum leg for most of his HS career and still managed to be the best player in the state his senior year. I would assume that he has played through more pain than most of us tough guys have.
Like it or not, there is a small element of acting that needs to be embraced to win basketball games. Selling fouls helps, from falling down when taking a charge or awkwardly flailing your limbs when raked across the arm.
Very true and Duke has perfected this over the last 20 years. Perfect example by Duke's trip artist Grayson Allen in the game before his 3rd tripping incident. Sadly not surprised he got this call.
