Saw him on the bench a couple times wincing in pain when he shifted around on the chairs. Not a good sign. If it's an ankle that is that bad he will not be a factor in Vegas.
If it's his foot again it could be a much bigger issue.

It's the foot. Fracture.

Season was fun while it lasted, I guess we can hope for a miracle against UCLA or in the conference tournament.

Whelp, I guess in terms of long term recovery, a fracture is better than ligament damage.
Big time bummer, get well Tres.

Whelp, I guess in terms of long term recovery, a fracture is better than ligament damage. Big time bummer, get well Tres. Lets hope that is the case. Is this the same foot? It can be some what explainable as takes some time for a foot fracture/bone to reclaim full strength. Often the bones surrounding the other healed bone(s) can take on additional stress. Hopefully it is not some type of comminuted fracture where the bones has broken into multiple pieces, or in his other foot, which could be symptomatic of a pathological condition where bones are weakened... constant stress, poor diet, hereditary conditions. Freaking foot problems can be difficult to treat and as we've seen in the past can last over years. Besides the healing, it takes away all the develop time/process in the off season. Let's hope while in LA Dad seeks out the best foot/orthopedic specialist and get some good news for Tres. It is a terrible break for a kid who has truly taken on the leadership role by how he plays/competes. When you are that type of player you lead by example and it is doubly tough to have to sit and watch. Here's hoping it is just a very minor setback.

I obviously do not have the details, but if it is a Jone's Fracture, or a fracture of the last, or 5th metatarsal.. ugh. that can take a long time to heal. really is a big blow. he is obviously done for this season. Good news is he basically has a full year to heal. Bad news is it is really hard to workout with a broken foot.

When you are that type of player you lead by example and it is doubly tough to have to sit and watch. Here's hoping it is just a very minor setback. This a bitter pill for sure. Tres comes to play - and play hard - every night. He gets to the rim better than anyone but Payton, but is more regularly aggressive than GP2. He plays really smart on both ends, and is the only guy other than GP2 who understands team defense on the level we need to play it to compete at a high level. I really want that UCLA game. Even if beating them wouldn't provide a boost in RPI and/or tournament status, it would be great to win at Pauley (we haven't done much of that) and we have no shot at the NCAA tourney without that win, IMO. Unfortunately, losing Tres means that even if we could get to the tourney, we'll likely be out before the ink is dry on the brackets we print. GP2 is capable of nice things, if reluctant to assert himself and carry the offense consistently. He can play with anyone, but the Bog Dance will be loaded with athletes as good or better, so he won't carry us against great teams on the boards or hoops in the paint. Tres has become our true #1 offensive option. Who joins GP2 to give us scoring punch? Occasionally a team can advance awhile with a transcendent star and a cast of solid role players, or 2 really good scorers and multiple contributors. We don't have either, now. With Tres healthy, we could have two really good scorers if GP2 just sold out to attack every minute. It's really not his style though. Stevie is streaky and exciting when he's feeling if. The problem isn't confidence or potential with him, but he just has to get stronger so that he can deal with physicality more effectively. We've got Langston-Walker, who at times has flashed the potential to be an every night 15 point guy, but he's been wildly-erratic. Olaf also has moments, but athletic bigs chase him off the arc and eat him up in the block. He has a nice shot, but isn't going to create anything on his own and isn't much help when he's off because he isn't real athletic. Drew is growing and has better physical tools, but he's going to be in the supporting cast category as well right now.

Say it aint so. Bill Walton come to mind? Or Greg Oden? That would suck.

He needs a breakout game or risk getting buried on the bench again next year by McLoughlin.

At least he didn't have a sprain. Those are worse than a break. They "never" heal

Maybe he was trying to show Olaf how to rebound.

I have yet to see anything definite one way or another, reported on the foot. Other than he will be out 'awhile'. One can guess, conjecture, make educated guesses, but I have not seen anything official, like tres went to the doctor and the X-rays show. Has anyone else?

His sister said on her instagram account that this was not the way they expected tres freshman season to end.
