The Rutgers basketball men’s team has lost its freshman forward/center player, Ibrahima Diallo, after he suffered a fractured foot during practice. This news means that Rutgers will have only two men for the game against Monmouth, and maybe even for the upcoming Big Ten schedule. The team’s best player, junior forward Deshawn Freeman, is on recovery since December 1 for a knee injury. Another player, sophomore center Shaq Doorson, is also out with a broken foot. Diallo’s injury now puts the Rutgers basketball men’s team in a challenging situation.

Broken Foot Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
A broken foot is caused by one of the bones in the foot typically breaking when bended, crushed, or stretched beyond its natural capabilities. Usually the location of the fracture indicates how the break occurred, whether it was through an object, fall, or any other type of injury.
Common Symptoms of Broken Feet:
- Bruising
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Blue (foot)
- Numbness
- Cold
- Misshapen
- Cuts
- Deformities
Those that suspect they have a broken foot shoot seek urgent medical attention where a medical professional could diagnose the severity.
Treatment for broken bones varies depending on the cause, severity and location. Some will require the use of splints, casts or crutches while others could even involve surgery to repair the broken bones. Personal care includes the use of ice and keeping the foot stabilized and elevated.
