Update On John Newman's Health


Dec 1, 2020, 1:00 PM

In his media call today, posted in another thread on the Basketball board, Brad Brownell revealed that John Newman suffered a concussion in practice just eight days prior to the opener against Mississippi State. He was inactive for much of the week leading up to the game. That explains a lot, in terms of the questions here surrounding Newman's lack of minutes/production in the first two games of the year. Brad mentioned that Newman had just gotten back to 100% from his knee procedure (that took place over the summer) when the concussion occurred. He said he'll need to ease into the season a bit.

Good to know and makes sense. We really need him to improve and contribute heavily this year. If he makes the same jump this year as he did between his freshman and sophomore year, he should be very good.

Yes, heard that too. I would think another week by Maryland next week he will be back very close to 100 percent. Maryland has some good bigger guards so we will need him by then.
Maybe tomorrow he does some good things to get some confidence before next week.

Glad to know. I wondered why he hasnt been his usual self. Though he did make a nice play on the baseline versus Purdue. He is always involved and hustling. I'm sure he will be fine when he gets back to 100%

Hate he got a concussion, but thanks for the information as I was wondering why he wasn't playing more.
