After speaking with a source yesterday, I can confirm that NC State Forward Jericole Hellems has been cleared to practice.
On Saturday, Hellems was taken off the court in Winston-Salem on a stretcher, and was immediately taken to Baptist Hospital, after suffering a scary injury to his head and lower back scrapping for a rebound with 28 seconds to go.
He was released from the hospital the following day, returning to Raleigh to be monitored by NC State’s physicians.
While Hellems is cleared to practice, I can’t confirm to what degree he is practicing with the team, or if he will be able to play for the Wolfpack against UNCG this Sunday on the road.
