“I’m just trying to stay in shape and keep the shot ready,” Madsen said. “Hopefully, I can start running in the pool soon and start doing more stuff to get some ankle flexibility back.”
guard took an awkward spill with 17:53 to go in the first half at Oregon on Jan. 28. He exited the game, was ruled out for the night, and hasn’t played since. Five days later, Madsen was ruled out for 4-6 weeks with what was termed a lower-leg injury.
The timing of Madsen’s injury is particularly brutal given that Utah has reached February and is still playing games that matter., those odds became longer after last week’s 78-72 loss to Stanford, although Utah’s final six regular-season games currently include four Quadrant 1 opportunities. The NIT, however, is very much in play.
For now, all Madsen can do is rehab. He began last week in a walking boot, but said Tuesday he is trying to wean off that a bit. He’s been doing non-weight-bearing activities to keep strength up in that right leg. Biking, upper-body lifting, shooting that doesn’t involve jumping, but he knows he can’t push it too much further because the tendons in the ankle have to heal.
I still believe that is the best course of action, especially now, with a new media rights deal not panning out as commissioner George Kliavkoff had hoped, and with the flirtation with SMU and San Diego State seemingly not doing much except adding a fraction of the television homes that the league lost with UCLA and USC.
