Well, it depends on what canon you're following. In anime canon, he thought he was healed, but he hurt his wrist again during the Jyosei Shonen match (I'm pretty sure...). In manga canon, he doesn't play because his wrist is still healing from the first go around. Poor baby.
Oh, yeah, I think you're right. I got my chronology out of order--one of the downsides of watching so many episodes back to back. They tend to get blurred as to what happens where and when.
