New Story Molly Davis hopeful to return

[Adam Jacobi]

University of Iowa women’s basketball redshirt senior Molly Davis suffered an injury to her right knee against Ohio State on Sunday. The announcement came Monday by P. Sue Beckwith, MD, Head Coach Lisa Bluder.

The 5-foot-7 guard is expected to undergo physical therapy next week to improve mobility for postseason play.

“While we feel for Molly that she got injured during Senior Day, we are so thankful that the injury she sustained is not season ending,” said Bluder. “Our program has appreciated everyone’s support and prayers as we look forward to her return at some point during the postseason.”

Davis has started 26 games this season, and is averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 assists and is leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio at +2.51. The native of Midland, Michigan, has played pivotal minutes in every game this season for the Hawkeyes.

Wow! Great news! Never would have expected a return so soon the way she went down.

Great news

Don’t rush it. Back for Sweet 16 is the right time

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Maybe a sprained MCL. She's not going to be very mobile for awhile.

 

[ichawk24]

I was absolutely crushed for Molly, and this is just fantastic news!!!! I hope she can come back and play some solid postseason minutes. And enjoy the run!

 

[Mountain Man Hawk]

I saw on another board someone compared it to (possibly) being similar to this Laporta injury that looked terrible and then ended up not being a big deal at all.

Obviously the two situations could be completely different but it wouldn’t be the first time an injury looked terrible and ended up being minor.

Fantastic news. It looked season ending at the time. She is tough as nails ... I bet she does well in PT and can contribute in the NCAA tourney.

 

[BubsFinn]

One thing we are all glossing over in Molly's injury is that she made the steal on that inbound pass. It was a heads up, hustle play that she is famous for and she got the steal and the foul. If she can indeed make it back onto the court this season, that's incredible news.

I just ordered a Heart, Hustle, Headband t-shirt from Raygun.

[LarryMullenJr.]

HOT DAMN!!!!
For those wondering, I love me some Molly D!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Wonder if it was a sprain then, perhaps even to the kneecap, the way it was wrapped up.

Normally, ligament injuries aren't wrapped up like that and certainly not right away.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Maybe a sprained MCL. She's not going to be very mobile for awhile.

She could be back from a sprained MCL in 3-4 weeks.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Could be meniscus as well. Thank god!

 

[83Hawk]

Fantastic!

 

[Daggerfoot]

Hell yeah! Get well Molly!

Que up Molly's Willis Reed's moment!

Remember when CC got hurt earlier this season, got taken back to the training room, then came back out fine a few minutes later and finished the game like nothing happened?

Good news is we still have the same medical staff to work on Molly and he’s getting his hands warmed up.

If Molly shoots a free throw from the Crane position, I'll pass out.

Any update on Molly?

Any update on Molly?

was wondering the same thing...

I'll tag @Franisdaman. Maybe he's heard something? Heard any new info on Molly?

 

[peacehawk]

She is not practicing. Hannah practicing but limited.

I guess I've been living under a rock. What's up with Hannah? She's probably the second most important player for the Hawks heading into the tournament IMO.

 

[herkhatescy]

Doesn't sound good for Molly. Still walking with a limp.

She rolled her ankle in the btt. Or I'm assuming that's what happened based on the replay of her coming down on the defenders foot.

Per my source who was at practice last week, she appears fine but coaches are being cautious and bringing her back slowly. They expect her to be at or close to 100 percent by game time.

Wow. She was limping pretty bad at Big10 tournament.

 

[BioHawk]

I heard an interview with Jan Jensen this morning who said she was off of crutches but still limping so I wouldn't expect to see her this weekend. Maybe for the second weekend (assuming Iowa gets that far) sounds a bit more reasonable. But it's still 5 days away so who knows.

I just don't see her coming back for this weekend and have a hard time seeing her come back at all. But who knows with today's PT maybe it can happen.

Really. After the game she was jumping around and dancing during the celebration. I think with the extra week off she'll be fine. Now Molly, I'm not thinking she'll be able to play. Lisa said yesterday that she's off the crutches, but still limping, and she had hoped she'd farther along by now. She's hot ruling her out, but I don't think she's confident about it.

 

[MarkRules]

Molly Davis needs to become Rodell Davis (remember him?). Play great with a big knee wrap.

Saw an interview with coach Bluder yesterday. She said the same thing. Didn't sound too optimistic.
