In the closing minutes of Tuesday night’s Villanova-Providence game, Phil Booth left early and headed into the locker room with what appeared to be a hand or wrist injury.
The morning after, his injury was announced and diagnosed as a fractured right hand. The school announced that he would be out indefinitely.
“All of us are disappointed for Phil,” said Villanova Wildcats head coach Jay Wright in a statement announcing the news. “He is one of our captains and the respect for him among his teammates is off the charts. Phil is as mentally tough a player as we have had in our program.
