Grim Sidelined With Foot Surgery
Sophomore forward Morgan Grim probably will miss the rest of the season for the Utah Utes, after having surgery Thursday to insert a screw to repair a broken bone in his left foot.
The Utes are hoping he can return in eight weeks, but they would have to advance deep into a postseason tournament in order to still be playing at that point.
The 6-foot-8 former all-state star at Riverton High School has averaged less than one point and one rebound per game, in mostly back-up duty -- though he has started four games in place of junior Kim Tillie, who missed time with his own foot injury.
"I am very disappointed for Morgan and for what his loss will mean to our team," coach Jim Boylen said in a statement. "He is a valuable member of this team and this basketball family, and we hope he has a speedy recovery."
