URGENT UPDATE: Iowa State starting point guard Tamin Lipsey will be sidelined for four to six weeks after suffering a knee injury during practice on Tuesday, the university has confirmed. This significant setback could impact the Cyclones’ season as Lipsey recovers from a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
The injury raises concerns ahead of Iowa State’s opening game against Fairleigh Dickinson on November 3. As a pivotal player, Lipsey has started all 103 career games and holds the record for the Cyclones’ all-time steals leader with 237 steals. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game, showcasing his vital role on the team.
This injury not only affects the Cyclones’ immediate strategy but also raises questions about their depth at the point guard position. Coach T.J. Otzelberger and his staff will need to adjust as they prepare for the upcoming season.
As fans eagerly await updates on Lipsey’s recovery, the team’s performance may hinge on how quickly he can return. The Cyclones are scheduled to kick off their season in just a few weeks, and Lipsey’s absence could be felt both on and off the court.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
