Badgers frosh Pritzl re-injures foot, out indefinetely

[Da-news-now]

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin freshman guard Brevin Pritzl re-injured his left foot during Tuesday’s practice at Syracuse, the UW Sports Medicine staff announced on Friday.

Pritzl originally sustained a broken left foot in August and underwent surgery later that month. Pritzl’s new injury will not require additional surgery at this time and he will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks. He will be held out of competition indefinitely.

Pritzl has played a total of four minutes in one game this season, a 92-65 win over Siena on Nov. 15. If he does not return this season, the De Pere native is eligible to apply for a medical redshirt to regain this season of competition.

A 6-foot-3 shooting guard, Pritzl, scored 1,720 points during his prep career at De Pere High School and finished as the second-leading scorer in Green Bay metro area history. Pritzl averaged 25.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game as a senior, earning all-state by both the Associated Press and the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association.

Getting pretty late for him. Big-10 play starts in another 5 games. His outside shooting would be a big plus, but if he can't be ready by the start of Big-10 play then he should just take the medical red-shirt.
