The injuries keep piling up for Penn basketball.
Freshman guard Matt Howard is out for the season with a broken foot suffered yesterday at practice, making him yet another injured role player for the Red and Blue.
Howard had an impressive weekend against Cornell and Columbia, breaking out by scoring 15 points combined between the two games and earning high praise from coach Jerome Allen.
“Matt was tremendous,” Allen said after Penn’s win over Columbia. “Last night, tonight, we ran plays for him. He had the right reads, defensively, on the glass.
“Without Matt, I’m not so sure we win today, or yesterday.”
Junior guards Camryn Crocker and Patrick Lucas-Perry are both out for the season with leg injuries while freshman guard Preston Troutt is also sidelined for the rest of the year.
Meanwhile, sophomore guard Julian Harrell and junior forward Greg Louis have dealt with injuries recently, but their respective statuses are unknown moving forward.
The Howard injury leaves Penn's bench even more shorthanded, making the Quakers even more reliant on their starting five, specifically guards Miles Jackson-Cartwright and Tony Hicks.
