They already said no suspension.
I imagine a microfracture is smaller than a hairline fractuer and what my kid (the one in the pic with Gaudreau) had - no bones out of place, and hard to even see on an xray that anything is amiss. Probably not even right through the bone - just like a barely visible crack. With my kid they were undecided for a week whether it was a small fracture or just growth plates.
I can't say it's gamesmanship and I don't think Stone embellished - I bet it hurt a lot and he probably thought it was broken off the bat. But I do think if it wasn't for the accusation they'd probably not even disclose it.
