Texas sophomore guard Varez Ward injured his knee during warmups before the Longhorns’ 78-62 win against Pittsburgh in the CBE Classic, according to an Associated Press report. He collapsed while waiting his turn in a layup line, and he could not leave the court on his own, needing a gurney to take him to the locker room.
Team doctors did not provide immediate information about the extent of the injury. Ward can play either point or shooting guard for the Longhorns, averaging 6.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.
