Weber State's Lillard to Miss Rest of Season

Damian Lillard, the 2009-10 Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player, suffered a "Jones Fracture" on his right foot (5th metatarsal) in WSU's 81-79 overtime loss at the University of Tulsa on Thursday night (Dec. 16). Lillard will miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season. He is tentatively set for foot surgery on December 26. A "Jones Fracture" usually requires 10-12 weeks of healing to make sure the bone is solid.

That's too bad, Lillard vs. Cherry would have made an intriguing matchup this year. Weber will still be formidable -- Rahe has done a great job recruiting there and they have plenty of talent.

That makes me sick, he was really fun to watch. I wish him the best and hope for a speedy recovery.

Better a "Jones Fracture" than a "Johnson Fracture." :lol:
