West Virginia University’s senior basketball player, Tucker DeVries, will be out indefinitely due to an upper body injury, announced head coach Darian DeVries. Tucker, who hails from Waukee, Iowa, has been a key player for the Mountaineers, starting all eight games this season and averaging 14.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
Coach DeVries expressed confidence in the team rallying around Tucker during his absence, as they navigate through this challenging time. With Tucker sidelined, other players will have to step up to fill the void left by his absence on the court.
The team doctors and medical professionals have determined that Tucker needs time to recover from his injury, although the specific details of the injury were not disclosed. Tucker’s performance this season has been notable, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt on the court.
The Mountaineers will have to adjust their game plan and rotation to compensate for Tucker’s absence, as they continue to compete in the tough collegiate basketball season. Fans and teammates alike will be eagerly awaiting Tucker’s return, hoping for a speedy recovery and a successful comeback to the court.
