abw0004 10,104 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I just want you to know you are in all of our prayers. We could not be more proud of you, and we are all heartbroken to have watched you go down on the court You are a great example as an Auburn man and we appreciate you and your teammates. I know it’s a long shot that you or anyone close to you reads this, but it is definitely worth the thread. Any other posts are welcome, if anything to show him and our team, we all care way more than their skills on the court. War Eagle Chuma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone4jc 2,238 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Okeke is one of my favorite players. Already had a double-double before the injury. Definately was the best player on the floor tonite! Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,064 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Having a career game in one of Auburn's biggest games in its history. We feel deeply for you. May you get yourself healthy. We are praying the injury is not as serious as feared. War eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 What are the rumors of his injury? I saw a tweet earlier of a bone bruise. From a UK beat writer. But I picture a bone bruise to be the result of hitting something. which is not what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I’m still hoping he’s just hurt. Not injured. Long shot but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToraGirl 5,498 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Chuma and team...wow! You're all, led by Coach Pearl, living your strength and cohesive brotherhood on and off the court. We stand with you, we'll pray for you. Isaiah 40:31 and lots of love and appreciation to you all. God's got your back, and He has your present and future in His mighty palm. Rest easy tonight. May your recovery be swift, sure, and solid. Thank you for making basketball fun again. War Eagle! #DavidandGoliath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Seeing how emotional Bruce got talking about him makes me think his season is done. I know you hate to see players get hurt and I know Bruce loves his guys but just have the feeling that Bruce wouldn't have been so choked up if he thought there was a good chance Okeke would be able to play in the next game. Sucks........ I hope he's able to play again in this tournament but if not his last game was a heck of a showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBP was not thinking about playing time. Period. He was thinking about a young man, that is like a son to him (they all are), and how that injury affects the young mans future. He is more concerned about all the hard work he put in only to have his season cut short before the penultimate possibility. At that moment in time, crying on national television, he was not thinking about how they will miss Chuma for the next game. He inadvertently just recruited many kids and their parents though. Today he will plan for a game without Chuma. We will need Purfoy to step up and Dunbar to do more with more PT. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburntiger1987 759 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hope and pray Chuma has a quick and full recovery. He is a is not only a great player, but from the team’s reaction, a great teammate and friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He/she typed " I know you hate to see players get hurt and I know Bruce loves his guys but just have the feeling that Bruce wouldn't have been so choked up if he thought there was a good chance Okeke would be able to play in the next game." I interpret Auburnfan91 to be saying that Bruce thinks that Chuma's season is over and his heart breaks that Chuma, after all his hard work and after being instrumental in getting Auburn to the Elite Eight, won't get to finish the season on the floor with his team. I don't see anything in the post that implies that Bruce is concerned about playing time. That is just my $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,057 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Absolutely heart-breaking! He was by far the best player on the floor last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Pearl was just on ESPN and said that Chuma is at the hospital right now getting an MRI done so we should hear some news soon-ish. They're expecting the worst while hoping for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
