It is with a heavy heart that Gonzaga Bulldogs fans have learned that Steele Venters will be out for the 2023-24 season due to a knee injury. Venters, a junior guard, had been a key contributor to the Bulldogs’ success over the past two seasons.
Venters suffered the injury during a practice session on Monday, and after further evaluation it was determined that he would need to undergo surgery to repair the damage. The surgery is expected to keep him out of action for the entire 2023-24 season.
The loss of Venters is a major blow to the Bulldogs, who had been counting on him to be a leader on the court this season. He was expected to be a key part of the team’s backcourt rotation, and his absence will leave a void in the lineup.
Venters had been averaging 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game this season. He was also shooting an impressive 46.3% from beyond the arc. His presence on the court will be sorely missed by the Bulldogs, who will now have to look for other players to step up in his absence.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs wish Steele Venters a speedy recovery and hope that he will be able to return to the court in time for the 2024-25 season. In the meantime, they will have to find a way to make up for his absence and continue their pursuit of a national championship.
