Murray point guard Blake Darnall's wrist injury, originally thought to be a break, may not be nearly as severe. Two different x-rays haven't found a break, but the jury is still out because something else could be revealed once the swelling diminishes. If it's merely a severe sprain or bruise, he could be back in action within a couple of weeks, just in time for the All A Classic regional tournament.
Darnall hurt the wrist in the second half of Monday's game with Mercer County in the first round of the First Southern Bank/Roy's BBQ Classic at Russellville. The Tigers held a double-digit lead when Darnall went down, but fell 65-59 to Mercer. The injury may have cost the Tigers the tournament — Murray won its two consolation bracket games rather easily and Mercer was beaten by Russellville on a last-second shot in the finals.
He isn't their most talented player, but Darnall is the Tigers' most indispensable one because of their lack of experience in the back court, and especially at the point.
