    Huge loss. A broken rib can heal and be played through in time. Hope it's not something more serious.

    How long does a broken rib usually keep a guy out? I hope it's not more than a month. We need him back for the playoffs.

    A broken or even bruised ribs is one of the most PAINFUL injuries to deal with... it can literally hurt with every breath, let alone when he flexes/extends that arm.

    He could come back with a flack-jacket/protection, but that often hinders flexibility for basketball players.

    Best you can hope for is no damage to the lungs, no pneumothorax, and just a bad bruise that can get better with pain injections and anti-inflammatories.

    The rest of the players are fighting hard on the court while this guy is out having ribs. SMH.

    Even if he comes back with a jacket or whatever, it's going to take a mental toll

    He is going to think twice about banging others down low

    The same way you sit up on a bed. Is that a trick question?
