After a little delay for them to dress quickly, the V crew hit to floor to work 3-man with my partner.

Of course, it turned out to be a 2-point game decided by last-second free throws.

The doc says no games for at least a week, and take Nabumetone twice daily, while putting heat to the area. Could be worse, but man, do I hate crutches.

You may be able to receive compensation for games missed if you're out more than a week or two. Check with your local/state association. You should be covered by NFHS. Good luck and get healthy soon.
