Happy Birthday Lassina (@LassinaJunior)! #LetsGoX | ALL IN

[Sean Miller @SMillerUT]

Last Wednesday, Lassina Traore suffered a season ending knee injury in our practice.

Lassina was a starter on this year’s team. He had a great summer and preseason, where he improved his game as much as any player in our program. He emerged to be our team’s best rebounder, low post defender and shot blocker. He was in superior condition and became a tone setter for everything that impacts winning.

There is no silver lining here for us.

It now becomes our players and coaching staff’s collective responsibility to rebuild our team. We look forward to embracing the many challenges that lie ahead. However, make no mistake about this - we will miss Lassina’s ability and presence. No one player can replace him. All of us will have to do more, be better and step up in our respective roles.

We look forward to supporting Lassina through his surgery later this month and the rehabilitation that will follow. And, we will eagerly await his return to the basketball court in our 25-26 Season.
