Latrell Wrightsell Jr. out for the season
Before we sure *** question will come up. We did get an MRI on, uh, Latrell. They got back to us yesterday, um, evening this morning. I think maybe it's when we finally got the, the final word that he did rupture his achilles tendon. So he's, he's out for the year, which is disappointing. I mean, he's leading the team in three point percentage is one of the better shooters in the country. Uh, he's gonna have surgery on it on Wednesday. We expect him to make *** full recovery. It's obviously not *** quick recovery from, uh, Achilles, but they're, they're confident that, uh, Doctor Norman Waldrop is going to do the surgery and that he'll be able to get back to *** high level basketball, um, you know, after his recovery, but he's, he's out for *** year.
