Georgia quarterback Carson Beck’s mom had a reassuring message for Gunner Stockton’s mom after the former’s son was injured during the SEC Championship Game against Texas on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs pulled off an overtime win over the Longhorns, having been the only team to beat them during the season. However, the victory came at a great cost as Beck suffered a painful-looking injury to his throwing arm on the final play of the first half and didn’t return until the final snap in overtime – even then, it was to hand the ball to his running back.
As you might imagine, the QB’s mother was pretty worried. But she was strong enough to tell Stockton’s mom “We got this,” before his backup came up clutch for UGA.

The Extent Of Carson Beck’s Injury Is Still Unknown
The Bulldogs indeed had this, doing just enough to win the game in overtime and lock in a playoff bye that affords them plenty of rest and, hopefully, recovery where Beck is concerned.
Kirby asked about Beck and Stockton…
“Both of those guys are great competitors, but how bout that offensive line?“

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart could only disclose that the QB had sustained an “upper extremity injury” after the game. An MRI will likely determine how bad it is and whether he will be able to return for the playoffs.
“He’s got an upper extremity injury. We don’t know to what extent,” Smart told reporters. “It looked okay but he couldn’t have grip strength and couldn’t throw the ball in the locker room.”
Gilbert Arenas Explains Which NBA Superstar Will Perfectly Fit In The Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have gone from starting their season 3-0 to 12-11 now. Such a drastic downfall has created a huge void in the Lakers’ roster. They are now looking for some fresh names to accompany the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With lots of names appearing on the radar, Gilbert Arenas knows exactly who must join the Los Angeles-based team.
Speaking about the sorry state of the Lakers, Arenas was asked about who would be a perfect fit for the team. Between Zach LaVine and Jimmy Butler, Arenas chose LaVine. “Zach LaVine. Jimmy Butler, the way he plays now? I’m good,” Arenas said. “I don’t need another guy who’s just gonna disappear just whenever. I don’t need fourth-quarter Jimmy right now. I need someone that’s gonna get us along,” said the former NBA star.
The 42-year-old further pointed out that both Anthony Davis and LeBron James are now on the injury list. And indeed, Arenas seems to have got a point here. The last time Butler played over 70 games in an NBA season was way back in 2016-17. Getting a reputation as being injury-prone, Butler has missed five games so far this season for the Miami Heat. Well, speaking of new recruits, the Lakers also have some big names on their radar for the season.

And much to their delight, the purple and gold have been favorites to close the deal for New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram. According to recent stats from the Bovada Official, Ingram has an odds of +400, with the Lakers likely to acquire them.
