    In response to HGA

Disclosure on injuries to student athletes may be restricted by HIPAA and FERPA. There are colleges that will not release any information except the location of the injury (e.g., lower body injury). Professional athletes, on the other hand, may be deemed to have workplace related injuries which may provide for exceptions to HIPAA. I'm not an expert, but I do see that some colleges won't release such information unless the student signs a waiver.

Regardless, I think I've now read numerous times that Towns and Aiken are (and have always been) expected to be healthy for the upcoming season, so there is nothing to report. If they don't agree to release HIPAA protected information about the nature of the injury and medical and rehab details, then it seems the school's hands are tied.
