Just saw on BTNetwork that he will be out for 8 weeks with a back injury. From what we learned from Hummel last year even when he does come back he wont be the same player this year. Huge blow for Ohio St. |

hopefully he doesn't feel compelled to come back next year because of this injury, because that would SUCK. Go to the NBA Evan! |

Wow huge blow to their season. Should be down to MSU and Purdue again, although based on how the two teams have played so far I have to lean towards Purdue. |

That would put him about a month away from the big dance when he returns. Should give him enough time to get back into form and get his legs under him. |

Its a back injury in which he broke 2 vertebrae, dont expect to see the real Evan Turner back this season. |

they're giving the timeline of 8 weeks, but i think that'll be 8 weeks until he can practice again. he won't be game ready, nor do i think they'll risk him playing at all this season. i had a teammate in high school football who broke a vertebrae, and it ended up being career-ending, so it's a very serious injury that he'll not want to take lightly -- especially if he wants to have a productive NBA career. |

Wow, that is a bad blow for OSU and Turner. He won't be back this year. If he is, I would be real surprised. For his sake, I hope it isn't career ending. |

it's pretty rare for broken vertebrae to be career-ending, it's kind of a one in a million shot. in the case of my teammate, bone chips from the vertebrae actually got caught in his spine, so if he got hit, he would basically die on impact. i doubt it's career ending for turner, but i'd think it'd be unlikely to see him again this year. |
