Gonzaga Bulldogs point guard Nigel Williams-Goss is not fragile. I know this because, if Williams-Goss were fragile, there’s no way he’d have walked away from this healthy:
How is Nigel Williams-Goss still playing after twisting his ankle like this YIKES
The human body can be remarkably durable.
Williams-Goss was driving toward the hoop in the second half of Saturday’s Final Four semifinal against South Carolina. He suffered what appears to be the ankle roll to end all ankle rolls, one whose sight makes me physically cringe. This looks on my screen like a devastating ankle or foot injury but somehow turned out not to be one.
Williams-Goss seems to be just fine. He took his shoe and sock off and tightened up a brace after the play, CBS’ Tracy Wolfson reported, but didn’t require attention from a team trainer. He returned to the game after the ensuing TV timeout and, thankfully, seemed well. He’s a critical player for Gonzaga, and he’s been on top of his game so far in the Final Four. It would be no fun to see him hurt.
