The rumblings on social media sure make it sound like senior Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Killian Tillie will make his first appearance this season.
Tillie has missed the start of the season since a little bit of surgery on his knee to “clear things up.” It was the latest injury setback for the talented Gonzaga forward, who just can’t seemingly stay healthy for long stretches at a time.
As a sophomore in 2017-18, Tillie averaged 12.9 points per game, shooting 47.9 percent from long range. A hip injury suffered mere moments before tip-off against Florida State in the Sweet 16 scuttled the Zags year and his dream of hopping off to the NBA.
