Ok, seriously, I don't know how many toe puns I can come up with if this continues, so Ty Lawson, feel free to come back when you get a chance. What I've been seeing/hearing/reading is that this toe problem is similar to turf toe.
"Turf toe is a condition of pain at the base of the big toe, located at the ball of the foot. The condition is usually caused from either jamming the toe, or pushing off repeatedly when running or jumping. The most common complaint is pain at the base of the toe, but you may also have symptoms of stiffness and swelling. "
Well, we knew about the swelling, we knew where the big toe was, and if you were to read the article, it can return and the only treatment is icing and elevating. Super.
Ty Lawson will not play against Radford, which should not be a surprise or a concern (Even though I always get worried that when UNC is a 1 seed, they will blow it and then we are in the history books for a not-so-cool fact). Larry Drew would probably be Radford's best player if he played for them. The next game, I worry a bit more, but I also realize that we do have Tyler Hansbrough and he is pretty good and he is a mission and he does have teammates. Remember he went off for 28 and 12 for the 6 games that Lawson was down last year. Easily capable of the same thing.
One other thing about this cursed toe, is that Lawson can get shots for pain, but my concern would be the swelling, so hopefully that is not an issue.
Take comfort in those facts and keep hoping for Ty Lawson's recovery.
