Link to poor play due to family issues ?
No mystery of injury when Kris did not play and had a walking boot on his foot.
Kris Injured

- Start date
No mystery of injury when Kris did not play and had a walking boot on his foot.
This team has a lot of good shooters. If the guard players distribute the ball to the open player Iowa has a very good chance of winning games. Ulis and Perkins are very good handling the ball but sometimes need to pass of instead of plowing into the lane to get a shot blocked or fall and turn the ball over.
Oh, it got ugly all right. LOL
You have different info? Either way, I would be surprised if they didnt shut him down until the Nebraska game at the end of the year.
any idea the injury? Fran was very vague in the postgame last night
Plantar fascia issue is what Chad Leistikow said in a recent podcast.
Fran said last night on Goodman's podcast that Kris will be out probably "a week or two" could be sooner, could be later.
Sorry about getting screwed against Ohio state. You guys won that game
Lets hope it's not long. We are going to need him sooner rather than later
Still atypical for plantar fascia issues unless he's already had surgery for it, which would put him out for much more than a week or two.
Here's more from Fran on Kris and his injury. As we have reported, he's probably out until the start of the new year. Not going to rush him back until he is healthy.
Luckily we have a couple cupcakes coming up. Hopefully everyone is close to healthy by Dec 29th, when B1G play starts up again.

Any update on Ulis' health status? I think I heard he had a hip contusion, but I haven't a clue how serious that could be.
Per the Mayo Clinic site -
Most people who have plantar fasciitis recover in several months with conservative treatment, such as icing the painful area, stretching, and modifying or avoiding activities that cause pain.
More from Mayo -
Surgical or other procedures
If more-conservative measures aren't working after several months, your health care provider might recommend:- Injections. Injecting steroid medication into the tender area can provide temporary pain relief. Multiple shots aren't recommended because they can weaken your plantar fascia and possibly cause it to rupture. Platelet-rich plasma obtained from your own blood can be injected into the tender area to promote tissue healing. Ultrasound imaging during injections can assist in precise needle placement.
- Extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Sound waves are directed at the area of heel pain to stimulate healing. This is for chronic plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded to more-conservative treatments. Some studies show promising results, though this therapy hasn't been shown to be consistently effective.
- Ultrasonic tissue repair. This minimally invasive technology uses ultrasound imaging to guide a needlelike probe into the damaged plantar fascia tissue. The probe tip then vibrates rapidly to break up the damaged tissue, which is suctioned out.
- Surgery. Few people need surgery to detach the plantar fascia from the heel bone. It is generally an option only when the pain is severe and other treatments have failed. It can be done as an open procedure or through a small incision with local anesthesia.
Exactly. That's where I read it. And I have a good friend who had this issue/surgery.
I don't need to go to Mayo for this factoid ..... Plantar Fasciitis sucks.
Fine. I've seen guys play with it by just changing the type of shoes they wear or getting a properly made insert. When my son had it for the second time while playing basketball in college he just switched out the Nike's the school provided for an Adidas shoe, and never had another issue after that. All depends on the severity of the issue, and the persons specific foot/arch structure...
My son missed nearly 6 weeks of summer XC workouts with it before his Sr year of HS. Then once the season started, had to miss time nearly every week, along with 2-3 meets. All of which caused him to miss state (he was running a pace before the injury that would have let him place). Wasn't able to get get fully healthy until basketball season started and has still had occasional issues in the 4 years since.
And no, he didn't have surgery.
Not doubting that. Read the post above. It all depends in the severity and the structure of the individuals foot. Not to mention their tolerance for pain....
Surgery is rare for PF, but it is sometimes necessary, though not unless it's been around for a while and hasn't responded to conservative treatment. Crutches are rare for PF, and it makes me think he had a more acute tear of the PF as opposed to the more common insidious variety of PF irritation.
I’m gonna go ahead and ask you to shut your pie-hole now on this topic.
I am sure Kris is getting the best medical advice and treatment possible. Let's hope it is healed enough to play early next year. If not, it will be interesting to see whether Fran goes with a new set rotation or alters it to fit the opponent. For example, I would expect more minutes from JoshO against Purdon't, but maybe very limited minutes against most other teams. We need Ulis to get healthy in the next week or two.
Season ending surgery speculation is a step too far …apologize to board.
If it is plantar fascists, this will be a problem for the rest of the year. You cannot heal when you are playing competitive sports. You really need to cut down on the stress to your feet to get this to heal.
This may be more about managing the discomfort throughout the year, then resting once the season is over.
At least this is my opinion after having had severe plantar fasciitis in the past.
