Injured Zags Expected Back in Time to Meet Utes
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have lost two of their most heralded players to injury, but both junior forward Josh Heytvelt and freshman guard Steven Gray are expected to return in time to play the Utes on Dec. 31.
"Just a little setback," Heytvelt said.
Heytvelt -- one of two Zags suspended earlier this year after their arrest on drug charges for allegedly possessing marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms -- is scheduled to have surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot, the Bulldogs said, while Gray will have surgery on a broken right wrist.
Both are expected to be out from four to six weeks, which would put them back in the GU lineup at least a week before playing host to the Utes in Spokane, Wash. The 6-foot-11 Heytvelt was averaging 15.5 points and 7.7 rebounds when he was suspended, while Gray was the player of the year in Washington last year.
