did that happen before the concussion or around the same time, not that it matters?

Haven't seen a time frame unfortunately.

FWIW JGT is saying it's more than a concussion. He says JP has/had a skull fracture caused by a friendly fire elbow to the back of his head by Stretch.

Dang.  That's some strong elbows.  I want to see him stop losing the ball on rebounds with those elbows.  Clear the space (just not in the face to avoid the foul)

It is Stretch, but they didn't play in HS together. 

My bad I was thinking of Cooper

It's the strangest way to get a head injury. Powell simply backed into Stretch's chin bone, and i guess it hit him right below his skull and at a force.

So strange the way and where all of that has caused Powell so much recovery. Just maybe the most vulnerable area to be hit on, maybe?

If that caused a skull fracture, crazy how solid Stretch's chin is.

That play on the hit also showed what an all round player Powell is he went to the Corner for a three which forced a man to come at him hard so he drove in and make a great pass to Thor for what should have been an easy basket and was backing out to be in a position to reset or play D. Man what bad luck and a freaky way to get injured.

Am I tripping or did Powell also have a fall from mid air earlier this season? 

Pretty sure it was the same game. Might have even been right before the injury because a lot of us thought that was what caused the injury.

@tgrogan21Supposedly caused the concussion. The Stretch hit later supposedly caused the skull fracture.

Oh, wow. I must have misread things earlier in the thread. Thought he actually had a skull fracture with no concussion. Didn't realize he had both. :(

Has Powell played too much to get a medical redshirt?

It doesn't matter. This year doesn't count against anybody. Due to the virus, everybody has a "redshirt" year this season.

Yup! Plus if he ever gets back to his early true freshman form he won't be here through his entire eligibility.
