Seems like it's a predictable recovery at least. Just need the bone to heal

This is far from the worst outcome. I'll take it.

Fib fracture...almost the best outcome. Not a true weight-bearing bone and easy to PT. If the fracture is high enough, he won't even need cast.
This is probably the best possible news. No surgery, no weakening of a joint going forward, and he'll be out less than two months. It's not good news, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

I'm a verified non doctor.
I predict Ovie will be back in 6 weeks and he won't miss a beat.

this is me whining or being too much of a fan but this injury is tragic to the story. I know its just sports but everyone had him written off last year and I definitely had my doubts. It kind of seemed like he was going to limp to the record and then all of a sudden he was himself again. On pace to crush 50 goals at 39 years old and sprint to the record. Really hoping he comes back in a month feeling the same way. He likely gets the record either way but I would have really enjoyed the 50 + goal season to break the record for his haters.
sounds crazy but Id bet they have exercises he can do during this time to maintain some of his current in shape status.

Missing a Month of workouts isn't going to help matters.
On the positive side, the team was doing an excellent job of managing his minutes, so that will help.
