Source: Sophomore Forward Kerry Blackshear “Highly Unlikely” to Play This Season

Virginia Tech sophomore forward Kerry Blackshear has not yet played this season due to a lingering shin injury that has plagued him for much of his career in Blacksburg thus far.

The 6’10” 260 lbs. forward showed flashes last season of why he was a highly-touted four-star recruit, but struggled with lower extremity issues more and more as the season wore on.

After missing the majority of offseason activities, including training camp, there was really no sense of when the talented Blackshear would be ready to return to the floor.

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that per Buzz Williams, there was no timetable for Blackshear’s return to basketball activities.
