Pharrell Payne did something and got hurt badly maybe?

Good to see Pharrel Payne walking the sidelines at the Maryland game tonight. I expected to see him in a cast, but he's walking around, smiling, and supporting his teammates. Hopefully he'll be back playing soon.

This is an AI generated post with false information. It has Kevin Willard as the Maryland head coach. I think this article is fake news. Last night Payne was walking and smiling on the sideline without crutches or any assistance. Now, that doesn't mean he doesn't have a hip injury and needs surgery, but the article posted is not a legitimate news article.
 

Reported today (around noon) by one of the writers on "Inside MD Sports"(247) ...

"For anyone watching Maryland basketball's win at Marquette last week, Pharrel Payne's injury looked gruesome. The Terps' star big man slipped and crumbled to the floor, screaming in pain as his legs twisted violently, and had to be stretchered off the court. It looked like a textbook season-ending injury.

It turns out it was nowhere near as serious as it appeared. While head coach Buzz Williams has declined to share updates on his small army of injured players, it sounds like Payne could be back on the court next week for the team's trip to the Players Era tournament in Las Vegas next week.

"I was worried that he had broken the lower leg or something. And you know, they'll splint you right away if there's a fracture on the floor. And there was no splint. And in retrospect, he got on the bus smiling after the game. Obviously he was sore. He said that they had x-rayed his hip but everything seemed to be fine. I think, more than anything, it just scared him. It scared me, and I was in the mezzanine. So, it was just one of those really fluky things and thank goodness he's ok," Maryland basketball radio analyst Chris Knoche said on the Big Bad Morning Show on 105.7 The Fan.

If we can't trust the auteur "GLOBALGEEK" anymore, who can we?!?

Too bad he did the chin up and swung his legs out to make it look more monstrous of a dunk. A normal dunk would have provided a safe, controlled landing. He got the style points but couldn’t stick the landing. I hope he avoided serious injury. I liked Payne’s potential and growth while he was here. Now that he’s not he’s like every other player from here (Gopher, Viking, Timberwolf, Twin, etc.): a somewhat interesting footnote when you see them later in their career.

Wet floor. Someone screwed up.
 







Just looked up his stats. He shoots 48% and 47% from the FT line the two years he's here. Then leaves, and shoots 58% last year and 79% this year. While a much smaller sample size, he has hit 43/54 free throws this year, which is a lot of attempts in 7 games. WTF.
 

Payne went off for 30pts 10 boards tonight. 14-20 from the line. Sheesh.
