Shaka Smart updates the Texas injury situation
Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports AUSTIN, Texas — The late five-game winning streak for the Texas Longhorns featured a shortened rotation thanks to a handful of injuries. Three players underwent offseason surgery and some are still limited in their participation as they continue rehabilitation, head coach Shaka Smart said on Thursday during a media availability.
Knee injuries suffered by senior guard Jase Febres and sophomore guard Donovan Williams both required surgery. Redshirt junior Andrew Jones underwent hip surgery. And senior forward Jericho Sims and junior forward Gerald Liddell both spent time recovering from stress fractures in their backs.
