Expected to be ready for the season.
Burgess has leg surgery
- Thread starter Gemini95
- Start date
I wonder what was wrong with his leg. And when does anyone say it was an unsuccessful surgery? 😄
During the season (possibly earlier), Painter mentioned something about him not being in great shape like late December/early January I think and I'm guessing this injury was why.
he hurt it during the season. he was in a foot boot during the tourney. I also read at the beginning of the year, Painter said Burgess was not ready and in proper condition to play, but did not elaborate. That was his reason for not giving Burgess more playing time at the beginning of the year. could this be a long recurring injury before he arrived at purdue that they thought therapy would fix ? and they finally decided on surgery ? possibly.
Get well soon Raleigh! You're gonna be great when you're healthy big guy! Btfu!
He previously had a compound leg fracture his junior year of high school. Haven’t figured out of it is from the same leg or not.
that could be why Painter said what he said about Burgess not being in proper conditioning to play college basketball at Purdue when he first arrived. it's easy to play high school basketball when you're 6'8 -6'10 with a lingering leg injury. . it's another thing to be able to play division 1 basketball with the same lingering leg injury.
I noticed in his recruitment process he lost a star and his ranking declined in his senior year. could that have been due to his leg injury.
Wole, please refer to this thread THAT YOU STARTED that answers everything for you about burgess.
What’s up with Burgess. ?
I know he’s just a freshman. But I keep reading his minutes are limited because he is not in playing shape and he just gets exhausted too quickly. Was he injured during his senior year or during the summer? And he’s recuperating? Or as a senior in high school did he just walk down the...

Get healthy Raleigh, you have a bright future here once the keys are turned over!
I heard rumblings during the season his leg wasn’t right and it showed after seeing Berg take his minutes later in the season. A redshirt season would have been good for him but you can’t blame the kid for wanting to play!

Coaches were singing his praises all last pre-season. I think it's fair to say we've not seen what this kid can do.
I would LOVE it if we redshirted him. Get healthy, get stronger, work on that stroke… then tear it up alongside Jakob Danielson in 2026-27…
It’s all becoming clear now. He arrived at Purdue with lingering leg injuries that never really fully healed. Often times an athlete has two options - surgery or rest and physical therapy. It appears he is now going the surgery route. Redshirting this year is probably in his best interest. He’s going to miss a huge portion of of practice this summer and will need time to get back in playing shapeWole, please refer to this thread THAT YOU STARTED that answers everything for you about burgess.

He'd also miss out on being a playing part of a possible final 4 team again. With an injury, or the new big guy isn't quite quick enough, yada yada, shit happens. If that works out, great. But I'd be busting ass to be part of that team.
STOP ATTACKING HIM !!!!
Do I need to start calling you names dry dead fly and see how you like it? How many more threads do I need to destroy before you understand the meaning of calling somebody by their preferred name? If I wanted to be called Wole, I would have made that my name! So dry dead fly, do you have 88 legs or is that your IQ?
You are one very strange dude. Self-awareness is not a strong suit for you. But keep posting all the crap you want, it's a free board. Just don't get pissy when you're called on said crap.
You say the most obvious things ever and things we all have said before lol. Stop acting like your ideas are original.
He had a compound leg fracture his junior year of high school. Not saying it is a record and haven’t confirmed if it is the same leg. I know big guys can have their careers derailed by leg injuries. Hoping that’s not the case.
i get it. But we also don't know if his problems now are related. If so, not "another" injury.
And while stress fractures and bum knees can haunt a players career, recovering from a normal break is not usually in that category.
For sure and I asked a few folks on if it being the same leg or different. If it is the same leg and a similar issue then I would be concerned.
