The Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team will be without a key backcourt contributor for up to a month, according to a report from BringMeTheSports on Saturday. The program has not officially confirmed the injury or identified the player involved.
The report, published early Saturday morning, did not specify the nature of the injury, the player's name, or the exact timeline for return beyond the "up to a month" estimate. Minnesota opens its 2026-27 season next week and will need to adjust its rotation in the backcourt during the player's absence.
Head coach Ben Johnson and the Gophers' medical staff are expected to provide an official update in the coming days as the team prepares for its season opener.
