It’s been a difficult season for the University of Washington’s basketball team, and it just got a bit worse. UW’s star freshman Jalen McMillan recently suffered an injury after returning to the court from a notebook.
The injury occurred during practice when McMillan was attempting to make a move to the basket. He landed awkwardly and was immediately taken out of the game. After being examined by the team’s medical staff, it was determined that he had suffered a sprained ankle.
McMillan had been out of action for the past few weeks due to a notebook issue. He had been dealing with an academic issue that had kept him off the court. It is unclear if the injury is related to his time away from the court or if it was simply an unfortunate accident.
McMillan had been having a great season before the injury. He was averaging 12.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game and had been a key contributor to the team’s success. His absence will be a big blow to the team as they try to make a run in the Pac-12 tournament.
The team is hopeful that McMillan will be able to return to action soon, but it is unclear when that will be. In the meantime, they will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by McMillan’s absence.
It is always unfortunate when a player suffers an injury, but it is especially difficult when it happens after returning from an academic issue. The University of Washington’s basketball team will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Jalen McMillan so that he can get back on the court and help them make a run in the Pac-12 tournament.
