Has anyone heard how serious his injury is? I hope it's minor as he is the best player we have.

Reported as patella (kneecap) tendinitis but that's rather vague.

prophet, this is what i found on the injury.
What is Patellar Tendonitis?
As with all cases of tendonitis, patella tendonitis is simply the inflammation, degeneration or rupture of the patellar ligament and the tissue that surround it, leading to pain and discomfort in the area just below the knee cap.
What causes Patellar Tendonitis?
Overuse is the major cause of patellar tendonitis. Activities that involve a lot of jumping or rapid change of direction are particularly stressful to the patellar ligament. Participants of basketball, volleyball, soccer, and other running related sports are particularly vulnerable to patellar tendonitis.
Patellar tendonitis can also be caused by a sudden, unexpected injury like a fall. Landing heavily on your knees can damage the patellar ligament, which can lead to patellar tendonitis.
What are the Signs & Symptoms of Patellar Tendonitis?
The major symptom of patellar tendonitis is pain in the area just below the kneecap. Activities like walking, running and especially squatting, kneeling or jumping will cause increased pain and discomfort. Swelling is also commonly associated with patellar tendonitis.
Patellar Tendonitis Treatment
Patellar tendonitis is just like any other soft tissue injury and should be treated accordingly. This involves the application of R.I.C.E.R. (R) rest, (I) ice, (C) compression, (E) elevation and obtaining a (R) referral for appropriate medical treatment. The following two points are of most importance.
Rest & Immobilization
Once patellar tendonitis is diagnosed it is important that the affected area be rested immediately. Any further movement or stress will only aggravate the condition and prolong recovery. It is also important to keep the injured area as still as possible.
Ice
By far the most important part. The application of ice will have the greatest effect on reducing bleeding, swelling and pain. Apply ice as soon as possible after the injury has occurred or been diagnosed.
How do you apply ice? Crushed ice in a plastic bag is usually best. However, blocks of ice, commercial cold packs and bags of frozen peas will all do fine. Even cold water from a tap is better than nothing at all.

Thanks, cmd, for good information. A bit more on Lindley: no structure or tissue damage and as the article points out the knee will be treated with ice and rested. Inflammation is a carryover from a high school injury. Questionable for Vandy, likely for UT. Patellar tendinitis is sometimes referred to as: Jumping Man's Disease.

Coach Brooks said on his show after the game that this was a flair up of tendonitis in the same knee Trevard had operated on while he was in high school.

I'll bet Green would have never made that catch if Trevard had been on him.

No, he wouldn't have. But, I bet the Dawgs would have picked a different play and would have thrown away from Lindley. There isn't a linebacker that could handle Merino in the flat.
