An otherwise quiet Friday in Marquette Golden Eagles land was ever so slightly marred when the official men’s basketball Twitter announced that senior center Matt Heldt had broken his toe in a “weight room mishap.”
Couple of things.
- That sucks and is probably incredibly painful, especially for a guy as big as Heldt.
- Six weeks is mid-September, so Heldt will be back to fighting form before official full team practices even begin.
- Even if he takes a little bit of time to get his leg strength back due to resting his foot, games don’t officially start for about 14 weeks.
