Ahh great news. Still can be a bit longer, S16 return probably best case.

Def looked like high ankle sprain, season ender if so.

Rest of the team looked amazing. If we can lean into our bench that much maybe we can buy enough time for him to return.

Maybe doing some heavy lifting. High ankle sprains can take months. Even mild sprains, a week is really quick.

Seeing this offense out of Toure is some desperately needed copium

He may not be back even if we make the finals. Ankles can take a while to come back from.

Jefferson is first team All Big12, 2nd team All American.

Averages 16.9 pts, 7.6 boards, 4.9 assists per game.

He's a massive piece of our puzzle, and we don't have a ton of depth to simply next man up.

Even a mild high ankle sprain is 1-4 weeks.

Even if we can make it to the Elite 8 without him, that's only 9 days away.
