Nevill Could Miss Scrimmage With Knee Injury
My apologies, but I forgot to update the blog last night with the news of center Luke Nevill's knee injury.
Turns out, the 7-foot-1 center had been playing with pain for about three days, after having banged knees in practice and developed a touch of tendinitis in his right knee that could keep him out of the team's open scrimmage today at the Huntsman Center.
Coach Jim Boylen does not think the injury is serious -- "nothing is structurally wrong," he said -- and planned to judge Nevill's ability to play in the scrimmage on an early practice this morning and a workout just before the scrimmage. (Our newspaper article should have said Nevill is "questionable" to play, but an editing mix-up resulted in the article saying he "likely won't play.")
The team had the day off Thursday, but Nevill also sat out practice Friday in order to get some extra rest. Instead of playing basketball, he worked out in a swimming pool -- with Boylen joining him in the water for the workout.
