Danny Sprinkle on Mady Traore's Health

It's been a fun group to coach so far. We've had, you know, a couple injuries here and there like everybody, you know, getting through the summer and kind of sludging through, you know, September and October is always the hardest time in college basketball, you know, until you can compete against somebody else. We were actually able to compete against Boise State the other night. We were without Ryan Beasley, who's had a concussion. Matty Traore, you know, we drained his knee. And a couple other guys nicked up. But, you know, for the most part, you know, we should hopefully have everybody by, you know, that November 2nd. opener against Colgate. Does Matty Traore have a different injury now and what are your hopes for him this year? A little bit. His knee just kind of swells up and so it's not necessarily his foot which he tore the tendon last year and so now it's just kind of one of those who knows how often he'll kind of swell up but for the most part he's been able to practice. We're going to have to load manage him and it might be two practices here, one off and then once it gets closer to games just practice him two days prior to a game and then play depending on how he recovers.
