Balkman Out with Ankle Injury

Second-year forward Rolando Balkman suffered a stress fracture and a small cartlidge in jury in his right ankle and will be fitted with a walking boot. An MRI confirmed the damage and Balkman will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

“We performed an MRI that located a stress reaction and injured cartilage,” Director of Player Care, Dr. Lisa Callahan said. “We will re-evaluate the healing process after four weeks of rest to decide how much longer it will take for Renaldo to be back on the court.”

In his rookie season, Balkman played in 68 games and averaged 4.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
