Braden Huff Out for Gonzaga’s NCAA Opener With Possible Return Later in Tournament

Huff describes steady rehab progress, leaving any return dependent on how the knee responds.

Overview

  • Huff is ruled out for Thursday’s first-round game against No. 14 Kennesaw State in Portland.
  • He said he is jogging and shooting but has not resumed team practice, contact work, or shootaround.
  • The junior dislocated his left knee on Jan. 14 during a routine practice play when it "gave out," and he missed the final 15 games.
  • Gonzaga’s scoring has dropped to 77.5 points per game without him from 85.1, and two of the team’s three losses came after his injury.
  • Media reporting suggests the Sweet Sixteen is the earliest realistic return window if Gonzaga advances.
