So maybe - hopefully! - it's not necessarily "out for Olympics" or even "out for season" ... unless there's more substantial damage to the leg, of course.
It's really going to depend on if it is compounded or not. It it is a crack from a shot or impact, yeah, you could be back reasonably quick. But if it is a displaced fracture... which the bend in his leg looked like it would be, this could be a long haul, and a career altering injury.
