Surgery to repair the broken left wrist of TCU point guard Jaylen Fisher went well, men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon said Thursday, with the freshman expected to resume basketball-related drills in six weeks and return to full-speed workouts in three months.
Fisher, the highest-rated recruit in program history, broke his wrist March 15 during a 66-59 victory over Fresno State in the team’s NIT opener but continued playing after the injury occurred. X-rays taken the next day revealed a crack in the bone and Fisher was shut down for the remainder of the season.
TCU has followed up with victories over Iowa and Richmond to reach the NIT semifinals in New York, where the Horned Frogs (22-15) will play Central Florida (24-11) in Tuesday’s matchup in Madison Square Garden.
