Eye on the Y: More adversity for the Cougars? Yoeli Childs injures his finger, but BYU says he’s good to go for the Saint Mary’s game.

Moraga, Calif. • On Tuesday, Yoeli Childs left practice early after banging up his right index finger. After practice, coach Mark Pope said Childs would be “fine.”

Yet, Wednesday morning, I learned that Yoeli was wearing a splint and visited a hand and wrist specialist in Provo.

I’ll be honest with y’all — I haven’t been around lately. I left Dec. 31 to Texas for a family emergency, came straight to California for Thursday’s game against Saint Mary’s and have yet to set foot in Utah so far in 2020, so I wasn’t around to see Yoeli get injured in practice.
