He was transported to Backus Hospital. Let's pray he's okay. Not just about our season, he has a young family and I know we all want him to succeed.

If anyone gets info please share.

He was sitting up and was moving as he was carted off. So, that's good. Saying prayers for Jarvis.

seeing tweets on espn that he told the trainers he was fine on the way out. Hoping it was just precautionary or a concussion.

Positive signs being tweeted, wouldn't be surprised if he plays tomorrow

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 7 years ago

I don't know about tomorrow, but if he's moving and telling people he's fine that lessens my long term fears.

One thing, though, can we not say "just a concussion"? I've seen this a couple of times now. A concussion is an injury to your brain. That is never good. Big picture, it's the worst injury you can get.

I could not watch or listen to game...what happened to Jarvis?

Dude came back from a broken jaw in epic fashion. I can't imagine this being any different.

And fuck that camerman.

He went down on a drive under the hoop and hit his shoulder area on the basket and then knocked the back of his head on the knee/leg of a cameraman. Put in a neck brace and wheeled off on a stretcher, though he was moving and sitting up and shook hands with his teammates on his way off the floor.

Of these two choices, I'll take precautionary..lol

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 7 years ago

Thanks, i was able to read through the game thread and saw it...man i hope he is ok...this is just a game, you don't want a nasty neck injury. I guess I will see you all tomorrow for Duke!

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 7 years ago

Supposedly he had precautionary x-rays

Justns11 · Unread post by **Justns11** » 7 years ago

Just saw Jarvis walking into the convention center for dinner. He was still in his uniform and seemed fine and hugged EC and some other players and parents before he went in. Seemed like he was OK!

After seeing him on the ground for as long as he was...that is awesome (whether he plays again soon or not)

Great recon!

nice!

He may be feeling better today than tomorrow. In any case, the news that he is already out of the hospital and back with the team is an encouraging sign that the injury is not that serious. Best of luck for Jarvis.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 7 years ago

I was thinking the same thing...I hope he still feels OK in the morning.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 7 years ago

Sure, I'd like to see him play tomorrow. I just want him to be ok going forward. That's the most important thing.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

He'll probably be a little [a lot?] sore tomorrow...hopefully no concussion, or he'll be out a while.....

I think we have the guard depth to survive just fine though.....

Jarvis is da man.....so glad he is ok!

kids tough as nails, wouldnt put it past him to at worst come off the bench tomorrow

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 7 years ago

Even if he can't play, it will be great having him on the bench with the team. It surely didn't look like that was possible when he was lying on the floor. So happy he's ok.

McRam · Unread post by **McRam** » 7 years ago

Looked to me that when he was put on stretcher and was trying to lie down, it hurt to go completely flat. they then left him in a sitting position.

I am guessing Dan will not play him tomorrow even if he begs to play. Not worth it. It will be great to have him on the bench if he is up to it. Get well Jarvis.

Mongo · Unread post by **Mongo** » 7 years ago

He's such a warrior, this is a guy who played with a fractured face and loose teeth. You don't see toughness like that very often. Get better Jarvis, we have lots more to do this season.

Rhody83 · Unread post by **Rhody83** » 7 years ago

Per ESPN.com article:
Coach Dan Hurley told ESPN that Garrett suffered a neck sprain and that X-rays were negative.

Ramettes · Unread post by **Ramettes** » 7 years ago

He ain't sitting tomorrow.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 7 years ago

Saw him couple hours ago walking through Mohegan with both kids in his arms. That said, I agree it could be a thing where it just doesn't make sense to put him out there and instead play it safe. Tough kid.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 7 years ago

Get him a mask for his neck!

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 7 years ago

Need the Brian Cox neck roll

Jarvis is tough. No doubt about it. Also, hIs injury made the ESPN bottom line.

Glad to hear he will be Ok. Hope he can get some minutes v Dukev

Of all the cool things so far this early in the year, this is at the top of my list. Seeing top 25 scores and seeing us included and not having to wait for the random times our game comes up and things like that. I'm really liking this whole top 25 thing

Huge news for URI: Jarvis Garrett has been cleared and will play today against Duke, Dan Hurley told ESPN. 1 pm on ESPN.

Great news!!!!!

Rhode_Island_Red · Unread post by **Rhode_Island_Red** » 7 years ago

Have we ever had a tougher kid? Maybe Neil or Rod can think of one, but in my 40-plus years of following URI I can't.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 7 years ago

I want him to wear the mask today just for the hell of it.

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but when DH was over attending to Garrett when he was down yesterday, Hurley put his palm over his face, miming a mask as if to say "do you need me to grab you one?" They both cracked up. It was awesome.

Thankfully Jarvis was not hurt badly. It didn't look very good at the time when he was being rolled off the court. Brought back unpleasant memories of EC in game 1 last season. Lucky break that it not as bad as it first appeared.
