Rutgers’ Dylan Harper out vs. Michigan, missing 2nd straight
-
Jeff Borzello
Rutgers star freshman Dylan Harper is out for Saturday’s game against Michigan, per the Big Ten injury report.
Harper suffered a sprained ankle against Penn State on Jan. 20 and aggravated it in the following game against Michigan State. He sat out Wednesday’s loss to Northwestern, after which coach Steve Pikiell said Harper was dealing with a high ankle sprain.
The New Jersey native missed a game and was hampered in others earlier this season with the flu.
Despite the setbacks, Harper has been one of the elite freshmen in college basketball, averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. In back-to-back games in late November, he went for 36 points against Notre Dame and 37 points against Alabama.
The 6-foot-6 guard is No. 2 in ESPN’s NBA draft rankings.
Without Harper against Northwestern, fellow freshman star Ace Bailey — the No. 3 prospect in ESPN’s draft rankings — went for 37 points on 13-for-20 shooting.
Rutgers (11-10, 4-6 Big Ten) hosts Michigan (15-5, 7-2) at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Rutgers’ Dylan Harper out vs. Michigan, missing 2nd straight
Rutgers fans will have to wait a little longer to see star player Dylan Harper back in action, as he will be sitting out for the second consecutive game due to injury. Harper, who has been a key player for the Scarlet Knights this season, will be sorely missed as they take on Michigan in their upcoming matchup.
The absence of Harper is a major blow for Rutgers, as he has been averaging double-digit points and rebounds per game this season. His presence on the court has been instrumental in the team’s success, and his absence will surely be felt in this important game against Michigan.
Despite Harper’s absence, Rutgers will need to rally together and step up in his absence to secure a victory. Fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to the court, but in the meantime, they will have to cheer on their team without him.
We wish Dylan Harper a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the court soon. In the meantime, let’s show our support for the Scarlet Knights as they take on Michigan without their star player. #GoScarletKnights
