can play with stitches?

[coach mb]

Great feedback.
The player is my son and his game is tonight.
The emergency room doctor said 4 days, no contact. Today is 4 days.
His primary care physician said it looks good but no contact till the stitches are out (2 more days).
I've explained to him the risks and consequences of a re-injury. To quote boomersooner "the kid isn't going to die if he re-opens the injury". Although it will be ugly.
He has a passion for the game like few others and has earned a starting point guard position in his sophomore year. I'm hoping for the best but the decision is his. He never doubted where he's going to be tonight.

happy holidays and joy to all
thanks
