VERY unfortunate! BUT...remember that Adam had originally intended to hold his "Birds" LP for next year but decided not to wait. Now he can do do just that and make it and him stronger and better. I personally would like to see him get a new SP. His current SP is a sassy exhibition but I'd like him to take a more sophisticated bent with a new SP for 2017-18. But the "Birds" should definitely migrate back!

for me it's probably the saddest news of the season so far...Two crazy good programs and one special skater, why?!

WOW. I am shocked. This is so sad. I can't believe Adam will not be there.
It is shocking. Last year Jason and now Adam. Throughout his career Adam has been very good about not getting injured. WOW. :disapp:

I was looking forward to seeing Adam skate those fabulous programs (especially his free program) at Nationals and Worlds. What a bummer. 
I guess it's better that this happened in the pre-Olympic season. Hope Adam recovers well and comes back better than ever next season!

That is awful news - and just before U.S. Nationals. I hope he makes a complete recovery and can at least do some shows this late spring or even the summer if it take awhile.

Link to full AUDIO of Adam's media teleconference earlier today.
His withdrawal/injuries had not been previously revealed to the journalists on the call, so they were hearing the announcement for the first time ... directly from the horse's mouth:
(Lynn Rutherford and Nick Zaccardi have published articles based on Adam's teleconference.
Hersh did some live-tweeting.)
Appreciate the silver lining, karne.
Sad for Adam :sad4:. Ditto re the hug

Damn, that's unfortunate.
But the bright spot is this: it wasn't his landing foot. :yes:

Ugh & ouch. It sucks. 
He's my favourite American skater also right now.
I wish speedy recovery but it means likely no Adam for this season anymore. Hopefully he keeps his LP. Maybe he may skate at WTT even if very unlikely, Jason returned to similar event last year after injury.

Phil Hersh is a tool, why did he have to go there. Very inappropriate
Thank you for posting the teleconference.

I don't know, the prognosis is 8-12 weeks. 12 weeks would be mid-March, and that's only coming back to the ice. WTT will be less than six weeks later. I have a feeling we won't see Adam again this season.
Jason did come back at TCC, but he had been back on the ice for four months by then.
What did he say?

Adam's teleconference started off with him reading a statement about his injury and withdrawal. Then the journalists began to ask questions, e.g., when are you going to Colorado to start rehab.
Phil Hersh then asked out of the blue something like, can you tell us what changes you've noticed in Nathan over the past year?
Adam: that's totally inappropriate Phil.
Dead silence.
Go Adam! And get well soon.

All the other journalist were asking about Adam's foot and wishing him well and then it is Phil's turn to ask Adam a question and he essentially asks "Adam you train alongside Nathan Chen, can you tell me what impresses you the most about Nathan?" Like that was his one question to Adam , not about his health or future, but about Nathan.
Just kinda does't belong in this teleconference, kind of rude. It actually made Phil look like an a**.
But Adam handled it very well.
Ugg still in shock.

Total dead silence. Phil needs to go sit in a corner.
