Jay Wright told reporters Friday that Bryan Antoine is questionable for Saturday's game against St. John's after rolling his ankle during Friday's practice.
Antoine, who has faced a seemingly endless parade of injuries/setbacks during his time at Nova, was finally looking like he was getting his feet under him of late as he's been healthy and playing a more consistent role. The feeling was that he was beginning to get in position to start to show the full complement of skills that made him such a highly-touted recruit coming out of high school.
The good news is that it didn't sound to be particularly serious. Also, even though his time on the court has been limited, Antoine has now been in the program three years and has a good grasp of the system, so unlike with some of his previous injuries, this time Antoine should be able to jump right back into the rotation as soon as he's healthy.
We'll keep an eye on the pregame to see if Antoine is testing the ankle and if he can perhaps give it a go, but don't be surprised if he's forced to sit out on Saturday.
